During the camp, we have league games in the mornings and full
teaching programs in the afternoons by professional players every day.
The teaching programs will be in English.
On holidays, we will also organize some day trips to places like
downtown Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and a two-day trip to Himeji and kobe,
attending an official tournament in Himeji and sightseeing includes
Hmeji castle and Kobe.
I promise that everyone can improve quite a lot through the Camp and
the Congress and will have a lot of fun!
This is VERY interesting and I dare say, cost effective.
With a quick look at air tickets, even on the most expensive choice for the camp, it is 2500 euros for two weeks in Osaka.
I think I should start saving up some money for next year.
Mmm … this or the European Go Congress? Tough choice.
The program looks wonderful, and as noted, is quite reasonably priced.
I couldn’t find information on the website about the player levels/rankings that the camp is designed for - what rankings are most appropriate for the camp (or what rankings have most former participants had)?
In this case they can probably enroll in the Kansai Kiin and enjoy whatever schedules and training programs they have all year round. This seems to be geared specifically towards foreigners since the lessons are all in English.
Still you may appreciate staying with your go comrade not only in the activities during day time?
Anyway you can just ask them, they should give give you an alternative offer.
Not if it costs renting a hotel room while I could also sleep for free at home, although it depends on the price of the hotel. Hence the question what the price would be if accommodation isn’t included.
Very same question, as I am lucky enough to live in Japan and can also stay for free at Osaka.
What is the recommended level for attending? Also would it be possible to attend let’s say, only the first week of the camp?
