Day 5

We woke up early in the morning for our morning exercise! It's important to stretch our bodies (￣∠ ￣ )ﾉ 

We even had natto, i.e. fermented soybeans, for breakfast! Shinn and Masaki were really happy about that because the rest of us gave them our boxes of natto.

We headed off to JRCS for a tour of their plant! It was an eye-opening experience, being able to see how they assembled the machinery that we would later use on a ship.

After the tour, we had lunch at a restaurant which specialised in puffer fish! It was an adventurous lunch.

We made our way to a temple, ready to immerse ourselves in the essence of Japanese culture.

After that soul-searching experience, we proceeded to lose some calories by ascending the hill to reach the cable-car at the top.

An authentic picture of 4 Japanese people in the past. Don't they look so lifelike?

In we go!

Up we go!

Here we go! The view from the top was really breathtaking.

Yosuke then led us on a ferry ride to the city located on the opposite side, Kitakyushu!

From Kitakyushu we took a train to Kokura, a city further down in the island of Kyushu. Japanese trains are really cool!

The way the tickets are priced really eludes me though. Kokura really reminded us of Singapore, with all the malls located around the train station.

There's always time for supper no? Sadly our time in Shimonoseki was coming to and end and we would be setting off for Oshima tomorrow morning.

To the next day!
