On the arrival of Fujimaki Hiroshi shihan and Suzuki Koujiro shidoin the Hombu Visit Organizing Committee organized a brief tour around Bandar Seri Begawan and a welcome luncheon at Portview Restaurant. It was a day of relaxation, orientation, acquaintance and dialouge before the start of 7 very instructive sessions conducted by Fujimaki shihan with Suzuki shidoin. Visits were made to the Yayasan Complex, Water Village with house visit, Omar Ali Saifuddien mosque and later on the Brunei Museum

At the end of the seminar a Sayonara dinner was held at the residence of the Chairman of HVOC 2009 Mr Ahmad Isa marking a successful and enjoyable end to the Hombu Instruction Tour Aikido Seminar in Brunei. The dinner was followed by presentation of certificates of participation by Fujimaki shihan to participants present at the dinner. Fujimaki shihan expressed his hopes that everyone had enjoyed the seminar and advised on the importance of practice. As aikido in Brunei is still at the very young age, Fujimaki shihan would like to see the development of strong basics in Brunei aikido.
