After a very good night’s sleep it was up for a very big breakfast. Then I popped into the onsen. Oh my goodness, it’s massive! With great huge Greek statues of horses and gods, pouring water into the baths.

The owner caught up with me again and had a chat about how it would be great to make a Genki English programme for hotel staff, now there’s an interesting idea. Then to set up the show. And again, crazy! It was a full on 3/4 size classical opera house complete with chandeliers, velvet wall upholstery and hand painted ceiling artwork. Not your usual gym then.

The show was also cool (with great acoustics) and the kids belted through “Rock, Paper, Scissors“, “How are you?“, “Rocket Launch“, “Mingle“, “What are you doing?“, “Harry Potter“, “What’s your name?” and back for an encore of “Rock, Paper, Scissors“. Now that’s quite a lot!

Then a chat with the parents ( “What, you mean the kids should learn to speak before learning to write English? Hehhhhhhhh”), and a nice rest in the very posh ryokan before hopefully flying back to Kyushu ( if the typhoon doesn’t hit!!)
