There are now a number of different groups, and independent individuals, down at Taiji.
Few of the troll's comic book criticisms match the reality of these individuals' motivations.
You are perfectly free and welcome to your own motivations to come down, enjoy the comradeship, see the beautiful Wakayama coastline, and do some compassionate good with your lives.
I think you will be surprised by the warmth and goodness of the people both local and foreign.
