Why the Forest — and Why Now?

Schools and Groups

While today Forest Adventure welcomes across different generations as a place to play and learn in nature, the concept originally began in France as a risk-management training program.

The forest provides a powerful non-ordinary environment that stimulates the senses, frees the mind, and encourages deeper communication.　Away from daily routines, participants naturally engage with one another and gain new perspectives.　Under the principle that “your safety is your own responsibility,” participants work together to overcome challenges.
Through these shared experiences, trust grows, communication becomes more genuine, and teams discover new strengths.

Our programs also aim to share the value and joy of forests. By experiencing nature firsthand, participants develop a deeper appreciation for forests and the importance of sustaining them for future generations.

Group Programs in the Forest

We offer a range of group programs that provide unique outdoor experiences in natural forests for companies, schools, and various organizations. Private bookings for groups are also available.

Please note that available courses and participation requirements may vary depending on the park. For details, please check the information for each location.

Tree-Top Adventure Courses

Participants wear safety harnesses and navigate authentic tree-top adventure courses built among the trees while operating their own safety equipment.
These activities can be enjoyed across generations, making them ideal for groups across different generations.
Participation requirements may vary depending on the park. Private bookings for group programs are also available upon request.

Forest-Based Team Building

This experiential outdoor training program is designed to strengthen teamwork by solving a variety of challenges in the forest.
By combining activities on the ground and in the trees, participants are encouraged to communicate, collaborate, and support one another as a team.

Forest Education Programs for Schools

Guided by our philosophy “Play in the Forest, Sustain the Forest,” Forest Adventure offers outdoor learning programs that combine tree-top adventure experiences with environmental education.

Students not only enjoy exciting activities in the forest, but also learn about the challenges facing Japan’s forests and the importance of sustainable forest management.
By starting with the feeling of fun and adventure, the program encourages students to develop a deeper appreciation for nature and a lasting interest in the environment.

Team-building activities can also be incorporated into the program.  Please feel free to contact us to discuss program options.

Our learning booklet (only Japanese) is aligned with the Japanese elementary school curriculum (Grade 5 Social Studies: Forests and Forestry). It can be used for field studies, SDGs education, and inquiry-based learning programs.

Corporate Team Building in the Forest

Do these challenges sound familiar?

• Limited communication within teams
• Lack of initiative among employees
• Barriers between departments

We offer experiential outdoor training programs designed to strengthen teams through real challenges in the forest.  In nature, people step away from daily routines and reveal their authentic selves. By actively participating and learning through experience, participants gain insights and skills that cannot be developed through classroom training alone.

Programs can be customized for different group sizes, fitness levels, and age groups, making them suitable for new employee training, leadership development, sports teams, and organizational team building.

Testimonials

• “A junior employee who rarely spoke up during meetings naturally took on a leadership role during the forest activities. After the program, he began sharing his ideas more confidently in team discussions.”
• “The program helped us communicate with colleagues we don’t usually talk to. The reflection time afterward was especially meaningful and left a strong impression on us.”
