Sky Walking in Forest Adventure

Forest Adventure is the most exiting place in Okinawa. We went to Forest Adventure in Onna on May 12. That day was rain in the morning. So, we felt down. However, when we arrived, the weather changed to sunny.

We went to there by Jumpei's car. It took about 50 minutes from Meio university. On the way to Forest Adventure, we lost our way because the main office was changed so be careful about that. We went from the parking area to the information desk by free bus.

We have to bring 3,800 yen for each person to experience the attractions. That price was a little high for university students. However, we had had a ticket which discounts 500 yen for one person. My friend gave it to us. So it cost 3,300 yen. We felt lucky. We also got the ticket so if you go to Forest Adventure, we are going to give it to you.

Most of the Participants were U.S. soldiers in Okinawa. The staff can speak English so foreign students can understand how to play with fun and safety. We think people who want to make foreign friends should go to Forest Adventure. In Forest Adventure there are 10 attractions: Zip Slide ride, Amazon Rope Bridge, Tibetan Bridge and others. First we wore a harness and then we received some explanations so that we can play safely. After that we started to play on the attractions. We used a pulley to slide in most of the attractions and the length was about 50m or 100m for each attraction. So we were scared the first time but once we rode it, it was really fun and refreshing; we screamed and opened our arms.

One of the 10 attractions was an advanced course. The attraction was like becoming Tarzan: we had to jump holding a rope and then let go of the rope to grab another rope. We were really scared. One American girl also hesitated to jump. Especially Jumpei was afraid of doing it. The attraction made him petrified. Then, not only her family but also people who don’t know her like us cheered for her. It was impressive for our hearts.

We have three reasons that we want foreign students to visit here. First, the view is really beautiful. There are many attractions as we introduced before and you can see the East China Sea in the distance while playing with the attractions. Second, it is very fun. You will definitely get thrilled but it is really refreshing. Third, Forest adventure’s staff can speak English. So foreign students can ask anything. You can experience nature in Okinawa. Then you can see a beautiful beach and forest.

We have some things that we want you to know. First is about your belongings. You should bring only these: towel, cell phone, drinks and the least money because there is not any locker. Therefore, you are better off leaving other things in your car. Second is about your clothes. You cannot play wearing a skirt and for your footwear you have to wear shoes. Furthermore, the clothes should not be new because maybe you will sweat and get some dirty marks such as mud and wood shavings. Third is about while playing. Before you start attractions you will wear a harness which is an implement that helps playing safely. After you wear it you cannot go to the bathroom. So please remember it so that you will not get trouble with bathroom stuff. Moreover, you may wear sunscreen but it is often useless because you will sweat and lose it. And finally, on the previous evening, you should go to bed early so that you can enjoy athletics.

The place was surrounded by nature and has lots of nature. For example, a blue sea and a big forest. When we experienced it, we felt like becoming a Yambarukuina flying above the sea. Forest Adventure is loved by not only kids but also adults. You can play in nature and some staff can speak English so you can play safely. Furthermore, you can make good memories there with your friends.

We hope you have a nice day in Forest Adventure.
