Shotokan Karate Japan

i want to learn traditional shotokan karate in Japan?
How long would it take to get a black belt and where should i go to
If you want to be trained in a dojo over there and not be treated like a piece of crap you had best be studying with a respected Sensei here. You will need a letter of recommendation as well but some of the Shotokan dojo will take you without one. It will also be very expensive so you had best have a good job.
In terms of going to Okinawa to learn Shotokan, well that will not happen. In Okinawa they teach other forms of Karate because Shotokan is Japanese, not Okinawan. Going to Okinawa without a letter of recommendation from someone they respect you can still get trained but it will not be the real deal at all but rather something they offer for tourists.
