Forest of Adventure in Hiruzen

Newly open, this "adventure forest" in Hiruzen has 2 different types of tree-top aerial adventure course (an easier and more advanced one) and also provides bike tours through the forest! It's a fun day out for all the family.

(Translated by Google) It was great. I (the father) and my children, who are in the 5th and 1st grades, took care of it. We went on a July day when it was about 34 degrees Celsius in the lowlands, but even in the middle of summer, there were many shady areas on the course, so we enjoyed it in the cool weather. I didn't want to go in the heat, so it was a pleasant surprise. Make sure to make a reservation. You can make a reservation online up until the day before, but on the day, call after 8:30 a.m. to decide on a time and go. The instructors will teach you carefully and politely. They take great care of you, so it's understandable why they can't accept a large number of people at once. You can feel the well-constructed course and safety precautions, and the satisfaction level is very high. Make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, shoes that you can exercise in, and long pants. I think short sleeves are fine. Credit cards are accepted. Gloves (work gloves) are sold for both adults and children. There are vending machines. I think it's a good idea to wash off the sweat at Yubara Onsen before going home. I would definitely like to go again. (Original) 最高でした。私(父親)と小5、小1の子供でお世話になりました。 下界は34℃ほどの7月のある日に行きましたが、真夏でもコースは木陰が多く、涼しく楽しめました。暑いのは嫌だったので、嬉しい誤算でした。 必ず予約していきましょう。前日まではネットでも可、当日は朝8時半以降で電話して時間を決めてから行きましょう。 インストラクターの方が、懇切丁寧に教えてくれます。とてもしっかり面倒を見てくれるので、一度に大人数を軽く受け入れることができないのも理解できますし、しっかり作り込まれたコースと、安全配慮を感じることができ、満足度は非常に高いです。 必ず汚れても良い服装で、運動できる靴と長ズボンで行きましょう。半袖は大丈夫だと思いました。 クレジットカードは利用できました。 手袋(軍手)は大人用、子供用ともに販売しています。自動販売機はあります。 湯原温泉で汗を流して帰るといいと思います。 是非また遊びに行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) I participated in the challenge course with my daughter, who is 5 years old and 110cm tall. With Harupon's accurate advice, we were able to complete the course successfully. If your child is young, it's best for both parents to participate. Be careful on the zip line, as if the rolling hook is twisted you could land on your back (change of clothes required). Including the explanation beforehand, I think we spent a little over 2 hours in total. Listening to the explanation → Getting ready on your own → Proceeding on your own will → It was a great experience for my child's education. I recommend it for children who aren't afraid of heights! (Original) チャレンジコースを年長5歳110cmの娘と参加しました。はるぽんさんには的確なアドバイスを受けて無事完全制覇できました。子供が小さいと両親での参加が望ましいと思います。ジップラインはコロコロフックがねじれていると背中着地になりがちなので要注意です(要着替)。事前説明込みでトータル2時間強過ごしていたと思います。説明を聞く→一人で準備→自分の意志で進む→子供の教育にもとても良い体験でした。高所恐怖症でないお子様ならおすすめ！

(Translated by Google) I participated in the challenge course with my two children. It was popular during Golden Week, and there were almost no vacancies during the day, so we were able to make a reservation for two people starting at 12:30. We are supposed to meet 30 minutes early, but if the first and second parking lots are full, you will have to park at the Tsuguro Kimono Fureai no Sato parking lot, which is a little further away, so we recommend arriving early. If the first parking lot was full, I had to back up and was sweating for the first time in a while. The roads to the first and second parking lots are also narrow. When you arrive, first fill out the pledge form and then line up at the reception desk. You can borrow a shoulder backpack to carry your cell phone and drinks (you can bring your own backpack, but it will get dirty). Since the lockers were full, I was able to leave my luggage at the reception for free. After putting on your harness and helmet, there is a waiting area where you can enjoy a game of Marubatsu or a wooden Othello while you wait for the event to start. Othello in particular has a good texture and is recommended. On my trip, there were about 25 people, many of whom were small parents and children, so it took 20 minutes to learn how to attach the lifeline to the wire, and 20 minutes to go on the first practice zip line. If you listen to the instructions carefully, even small children can enjoy it safely. The challenge course consists of seven sections, ending with a zipline descent. The first section features medium-height logs and a tightrope. Is this a challenge course? That's what I thought, but it was so scary that I actually started laughing. Although the children said they were scared, they bravely crossed (surprisingly courageous). If you are not good at ziplining, your body will inevitably rotate while sliding and you will end up landing with your torso on the wooden chips. It is better to avoid wearing fashionable clothes as the top and bottom of your clothes may get dirty and chips may get into your clothes. The last part is not so scary, and after the final section you can have your photo taken in front of the completion sign. We went slowly, so we finished around 2:20pm. Looks like they'll be cheaper for the second week. It was a great experience to have an adventure in nature with my kids during Golden Week. I wasn't able to go, but there seems to be a day trip hot spring nearby (I'll upload a photo of the guide). It seems that there are other places in Kansai such as Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Hyogo, so I would like to try it there as well. (Original) 子供と2人でチャレンジコースに参加しました。GW中は人気で昼間はほぼ空きがなく、12:30から2名分をかろうじて予約できました。30分前に集合することになってますが、第一と第二駐車場がいっぱいだと、少し離れた津黒いきものふれあいの里の駐車場にとめないといけないので、早めの到着をオススメします。第一駐車場は満車の場合、バックで戻る必要があり久々に冷や汗かきました。第一、第二駐車場までの道も狭いです。 到着したらまず誓約書を記入してから受付に並びましょう。携帯と飲み物を持ち込むための肩掛けリュックは借りれます（リュック持ち込めますが汚れます）。ロッカーがいっぱいだったため荷物は受付で無料で預かってくれました。ハーネスとヘルメットつけてから、開始までの待ち時間は待合スペースがあり、マルバツゲームや木製のオセロで楽しめます。特にオセロは質感がよくオススメです。私の回は小さな親子連れが多く25名くらいいたので、ワイヤーにコロコロと命綱を取り付ける講習に20分、最初の練習用ジップラインに20分かかりました。説明をしっかり聞けば小さな子供でも安全に楽しめます。 チャレンジコースは7つのセクションから構成され、最後にジップラインで降りるようになっています。最初のセクションでは、なかの高さの丸太や綱渡りがあります。これがチャレンジコース？と思いつつ、怖すぎて逆に笑えてきました。子供のほうは怖いと言いながらも勇敢に渡ってました（意外と勇気ある）。ジップラインは、うまい人でないとどうしても滑っているうちに身体が回転して木片チップへは胴体着地になってしまいます。服の上下が汚れて服の中にチップが入ってくることもあるので、オシャレ着は避けるほうがベターです。最後のほうはそれほど怖くなく、最終セクションが終わると、コンプリートの看板の前で写真撮影してもらえます。ゆっくり回ったため、終わったのは14:20頃でした。2週目は安くしてくれるみたいです。 GWに子供と自然の中で冒険できてとてもよい体験ができました。私は行けませんでしたが、近くに日帰り温泉あるみたいです（案内の写真アップしておきます）。関西は他にも大阪、京都、奈良、兵庫などにもあるみたいなので、そちらにも挑戦してみたいです。

(Translated by Google) We made a reservation on the first weekend of June and took our 117cm third grader and 130cm fourth grader to the challenge course. We wore thin long sleeves and long pants with work gloves. At 117cm, it was just about the height where we could put on the metal fittings. If you're okay with heights, I think it's a lot of fun. There were also a lot of zip lines, and the kids were thrilled. However, they always fail to land at least once, so their clothes are bound to get dirty lol Drinks are a must for this season. We had plastic bottles in our backpacks. I didn't check, but a water bottle or bottle holder on your shoulder might get tangled and be dangerous. Right after we finished, my child said, "I want to come again!!" The staff were all friendly and nice. Tsuguro Kogen Living Creatures Village is nearby, so it's convenient to play there. If you prepare food and drinks, you can easily play all day. On the way back, you can wash off the sweat at Yubara Onsen and have dinner in the hot spring town, so I think it's a perfect day trip. (Original) 6月第1週目週末に当日予約で、身長117cm3年生と130cm4年生を連れてチャレンジコースに挑戦。服装は薄手長袖長ズボンに軍手で参加。 117cmで金具かけたりする高さがギリギリだった。 高い所が平気ならめちゃくちゃ楽しいと思う。 ジップラインもたくさんあり、子供たちは大喜びだった。ただ、着地は1回は必ず失敗するので洋服は必ず汚れます笑 飲み物はこれからの季節必須です。 我が家はリュックにペットボトルを入れてた。 確認してないけど、斜めがけの水筒やボトルホルダーは絡まったりして危ないかも。 終わってすぐ子供は「また来たい!!」と。 スタッフさんも皆さん気さくで感じが良かった。 すぐ近くに津黒高原生きものの里があり、ちょう遊べるのも便利。 食べ物・飲み物を準備して行けば余裕で1日遊べます。 帰りは湯原温泉で汗を流し、夕飯も温泉街で食べられるので日帰り小旅行にピッタリだと思う。
