But after absolutely perfect weather the day before, we really couldn't complain.

Luckily, it would be spending the day inside working with Hayashi San, a local blacksmith in the Shimanto area.

Using a single piece of metal, Hayashi san would teach us step by step, how to forge our own knife.

Given expected.

I'm about it putting words that just easier.

A little safer weight on the end of this way, you little hammer.

Hayashi san has been working as a blacksmith for over 17 years.

He makes a living selling his hand crafted blades and teaching workshops like this one.

You could just tell he was so excited to share his passion with us.

He encouraged us to try her hand at each step of the process and was there beside us to help us out or answer our questions.

If we had any, she mean wins.

Yeah, she means the time try on the child of the wind.

That sounds really good.

Did you choose?

Okay.

What you want?

You okay?

Oh, I see.

Now that's awesome.

So that's how that's how they do it.

So he's just attaching the handle now and then.

I think we're almost done.

No.

So it's okay.

Smells like burning.

Would like a sauna.

People treat mountain, uh, hard in the night.

Do you also make Katana?

You can't.

But that's your next step in your career.

Really takes five years.

Well, that's really interesting.

Oh, okay.

What?

Are you okay?

You okay?

So how can you tell?

It's 200 degrees.

He'll make us you want.

Oh, so they told Jenny.

Happy go Lucky Shen Kong and whoa guy there in this car.

So they they should buy stuff.

Time to put the handle on.

I'll finish it.

Wow.

Not so good.

Hey, that that's beautiful.

That's a nice that.

That was probably our fault.

Don't apologize.

Way were quite, but we had Finally, that's all that matters is the last.

Everybody dies.

We're all finished.

We made a knife.

Well, since they made a nice way helped, it's probably our fault.

It doesn't cut very well, but that's okay.

I had a good time making it.

It was pretty neat to see how much work went into making a knife.

I always wondered why they cost so much, especially here in Japan.

There's lots of very fancy knives at the kitchen store.

And you wonder why they cost $100.

This is why it took hours to make this.

That it sucks.

So imagine how long it takes to make a good one.

Good morning.

Welcome to day three in Koji.

Look at the weather.

Look at the weather.

You guys okay?

So yesterday we checked out the Tinky Oh ho, The weather report and it said it was gonna be crap today is that it's in the absolute crap.

And we thought, we're gonna have to cancel all our activities and we're really sad about it.

But it is clear it's sunny.

And that means we're gonna go whale watching, which I'm really excited about because of actually never seen a whale in the wild.

And neither has Michaela.

So really hope we see some big I know it's not guarantee we might not see anything, but I have hope because we were so lucky with the weather.

Yeah, we're going to be lucky and see some whales get on the boat and wait.

Say bye.

Tour bus driver.

He's so lovely, she could come with?

I had given up hope.

I didn't think we were gonna wait.

All right, You're lying.

You're lying.

After enjoying the rough waves, possibly a little too much.

We took a break and took in the gorgeous scenery as we ventured out into the middle of the ocean in hopes of spotting some whales.

Unfortunately, the whales were a little shy today, and we weren't able to see any.

But the stunning views from the boat really made the trip more than worth it.

After we made it back to land, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and took a stroll through a park located just a few minutes down the road.

It's so colorful.

Oh my God.

It was a really nice way to spend our last afternoon in Coach E and the granite rock formations made for some gorgeous photos to remember our trip by.

I hope you had fun joining us on this adventure through coaching prefecture.
