Forest Adventure Hiroshima — Attraction in Hatsukaichi

Life Changing, Family Bonding, Treetop Adventure I think it helps if you are a little afraid of heights, which I am, because by the time you have been three times around the forest on each of the tree top courses, either you will be reduced to a quivvering wreck or your fear of heights will be cured. The circuits use a think stainless steel rope strung from tree to tree upon which guests are attached by a rope to a harness which they climb into. There is also a secondary line attacked to carabineer clip which is largely unnecessary but increases the fear. There are several zip lines one of which is 150m long for the finale. I anticipated that, in typical Japanese fashion, there would be loads of staff pandering to the fears of the guests but such is the thickness of the steel rope to which guests are threaded, once you are up in the trees you are on your own. I did not fall once, which in retrospect I think was a mistake. I should have deliberately jumped off one of the tree to tree tightropes so as to test the steel roped harness and convince myself of its safety.

The only thing that I thought might be dangerous is that the extra carabineer line that customers affix themselves might, in the case of young and inept person, get caught around their head causing them to be hung if they were to fall off. There is just one place where the harness is detached from the steel rope, at the Tarzan swing, at which point it is important not to panic. The nearby park restaurant is also recommended for good food and lots of souvenirs.

I only wish that there were more views, and one of these parks on a mountain looking down on Yamaguchi City. The only view at this park is down.

It is good way to bond with your teenage son, who in our case, is less fearful than his father. You can get a group photo at the beginning and the end by which time you may have turned into a...

We LOVED this park! We don’t speak Japanese hardly at all and we’re worried there would be a language barrier but everything was great. The best part is that it is self guided so we took our time and had fun! After learning how to work the equipment we did all four courses. Each different and fun. The Tarzan swing and the zip lines where favorites of ours.

The only thing preventing me from a 5 star review is the journey there. On the way there we took hyw 289 which led onto 42. Would not recommend unless your on a motor bike. On the way back we took 488 that led onto 186 which was better but very windy. The roads are small. Bumpy. And sharp unsafe drop offs 50% of the way there. It took us 20 extra minutes because the roads were wet and very narrow we felt unsafe a lot of the time. We never met another car but we literally don’t know what we would have done if we did. I’m sure there are better roads that we did not take. But I would not recommend the “quickest and free” option route google maps will take you...

★アクセス注意❗ 186号線から行くのが正解❗岩国から行きましたが、488号線で行ったら車一台分の幅しかないすごい山道で、右には山の岩肌、左には高さのある渓谷で、神経すり減りましたΣ(ﾉ`Д´)ﾉ ナビやGoogleマップで検索すると、488号など最短で出ますが、遠回りでも186号線を使ってきたほうが安心です❗ さて、施設のほうですが、山の中に作られています。トイレはあります。駐車場もあります。受付がポツリとあるだけで、ほんとに山の中です。着替え場所は特にありません。トイレの中で着替えてるのかな？貴重ボックスなどもありません。飲み物などちょっとしたものがおける、物置き台は外にあります。 食事場所もありませんが、車で数分のところに食事処はあります。温泉もついてるようです。 小雨が降ってましたが、木々が雨を遮ってくれてて、大丈夫でした。ちょっと滑りやすくなってしまいますが、ハーネスがついてますので、安全です。 結構な高さになるので高所恐怖症の人は辛いかもしれません。とてもスリリングで楽しいです。なかなか出来ない経験が出来ます。貸し切り状態でスムーズに出来ましたが、1時間半かかりました。(説明から終わるまで)結構スポーツしてる方ですが、案外疲れました(笑) 週末など多い時には、もっと時間がかかるかと思います。安全面から一人ずつしか進めないので!! ともあれ、4コースあって楽しめます。なお、高さのあるクライミングの場所は別途800円か必要になるみたいです。 服装は動きやすい服、汚れてもいい服なら安心です。着地がしっかり出来るなら、そこまで汚れません。ハーネスをつけるので、ズボンをおすすめします。 靴も山の中なので、動きやすい靴を推奨します。 携帯を入れる為の、ボディバックは貸してくれます❗ 軍手、あるといいかもしれませんが(綱渡りの時に、ロープを握るときに痛くなくなる)、無くても大丈夫です。冬ならあったほうがいいのかな？忘...
