Members Chakai at Ryokan Gojyuan
Tankokai Sydney Association had its very first Members’ Chakai on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at Ryokan Gojyuan.
Gojyuan is located on the vibrant main street of Balmain, an inner west suburb of Sydney. Once you step through the front door, you feel as if you are in Japan. Beyond the nice sized lobby area, there is a walkway overlooking a Japanese garden with a carp pond leads to two eight-mat guest rooms and a bathhouse.
