For the next 30 years, she returned to Japan over 25 times of which 6 years were uchi-deshi. She holds a menkyo keaiden in weapons certification and was certified to test for the U.S. She served as Saito Sensei's representative for the U.S. and runs the Iwama division in the California Aikido Association (CAA).
