I had the chance to experience the athletics course attached to the campsite where I camped! Although it was a bit scary due to the height, I felt safe because I was connected to a lifeline. The zipline that goes over the campers was incredibly fun! It's hard to take a good landing pose, though, haha. The equipment can be slippery, so I recommend wearing shoes with good grip on the sole. There were courses for advanced and intermediate levels. The beginner's course seems to be for children. I enjoyed the athletic course in the forest, and I would like to visit the one in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture as well.

A campsite where you can take a bath! It was a great campsite where you could take a shower if you were there within the time limit. I camped at a place where I always come snowboarding in the winter. It was a very strange feeling, but I like it in the summer too, because I can enjoy the sunshine in the summer. You can drive in, but it's a very, very steep slope, so I don't think you can get there smoothly unless you have a 4WD. At the foot of the mountain, there were many people taking part in snowboarding events that are held in the summer, and it was very lively. We took part in a different athletic event. That's for another article. #outdoors
