Re: Go Salon for Dan player in Japan
What an interesting look at GO in Japan. Who knows there may be even hope for me making Shodan, I just need to plan a vacation! Anyone else interested in making Shodan and a roadtrip?

That would be an interesting vacation.
It's somewhat easier for shodan: four straight wins and you don't have to have a previous diploma. There's also a larger proportion of hopefuls trying for shodan before they have actually reached that level, just on the off chance they get lucky, so you'd be more likely to have opponents who are easier to beat.
Oh, and when they call your name in the draw, they tack your prospective rank on the end as a title, which is a nice touch.
