Started the day with a Courtesy visit to the Fukuyama Mayor. Television camera in attendance and Steven and Jill interviewed for local news!
Then on the Hirobo Helicopter factory - which specilises in making radio and remote controlled toy and commercial helicopters - including a very impressive GPS controlled crop spraying model. The job of 'tester' was enviable.
Lunch at Koishiki Inn and watching a Tea Ceremony lesson, then we went to JFE Steel.
The Steel foundry was amazing. 60% of the raw iron ore and coal comes form Australia. We toured the 4 by 4 kilometre square steel works by bus, before going inside the Hot Strip Mill to watching steel sheets being manufactured at 12oo degrees celsius.
