Channel your inner musician and transfer 60 minutes to the Japanese Taiko Drum Experience. Meet your teacher and learn the history of the taiko drum -- a traditional Japanese percussion instrument used in festivals. You'll learn how to play it in a fun-filled class environment.
The Shusen no Mori (or similar) sake brewery and theme park feature traditional Japanese industrial arts. Check out the locally produced handicrafts and sample shochu and other spirits produced on the premises.
A lunch will be served before continuing your day.
It takes a full five minutes to cross, on foot, the Aya Teruha Suspension Bridge -- one of the longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. Double dare yourself to look down on the spectacularly gorgeous scenery below.
Back on terra firma, resume the pleasant motorcoach ride back to the port.
