However, the Cypress Resort also boasts options such as hands-on experience in weaving, pottery, playing the shamisen, making Hawaiian leis, paragliding, star gazing, and many more. The classes are taught in Japanese, but many can be attended by those who do not speak the language by following along with what the instructor is doing. There are even fun activities for kids, such as feeding the goats which live about a 5 minute walk from the resort.
