The journey here took us the best part of 36 hours solid travelling and we arrived at 2am local time. After a much-needed Japanese-style bath and a lie-in until 9am, we were taken to the work site which is about 20 minutes from where we are staying up a twisty mountain road.
The Japanese carpenters have made a good start preparing timbers both for their own tea house and our pavillion and the work site is busy, but well organised. There will be more pictures and maybe some video tomorrow when I am less tired and more organised, but in the mean time here are just a few of our team getting started with some hewing...
Tomorrow morning we shall be leaving for the work site at 7.30am so I must get some sleep!
Busy, busy - doesn't look much like Derbyshire! Have a great time.
