Are you interested in taking classes in Japan?
I think it is fun to learn, for example: Japanese cooking, the language, martial arts, and other things.
Even if you are going there for a few days, there may be some classes that fit your schedule.
I have found some classes in Tokyo and Osaka, so I will share the information here.
Tokyo
Japanese lessons
● The Japanese language school, Meguro Language Center
Language exchange
● Language Exchange Café
Japanese cooking
● Mayuko's Little Kitchen Japanese Cooking Class
Japanese glass making: Edo Kriko glass
● Sokichi
Osaka

● Takoyaki and other food
”Takoyaki”” is one of Osaka's specialties.
Other interesting thing I found (although it is not something Japanese...)
● Thai kickboxing M-FACTORY
If you want to go somewhere quieter, I recommend Nagahama city in Shiga prefecture.
There are a few nice glass blowing workshops you can attend in Nagahama. I used to take my children there and we made glasses, plates, and stained glass products.
Nagahama is a beautiful old city. If you rent a car you can drive from Nagahama to Hikone city by the lake Biwako.
In Hikone, there is beautiful Hikone castle. You may find a small "Kawana" (salt-grilled sweetfish) shop on a street, and yummy "Hida beef" restaurants.

Another fun thing to do in Shiga prefecture is to rent a bike and ride around the lake. I have never done it but I would like to do that when I go back to Japan!

Hope you enjoy your trip to Japan!
If you ever need any help before&during your Japan trip, drop me a line.
Not many people speak English in Japan.
I can translate e-mails and letters or even do online interpretation.
I was an Airbnb super-host in Japan and hosted people from different countries in Mie prefecture (close from Ise shrine). I don't accommodate people that way any more but I hope to help in other ways like online translation.
