Overview

Forest Adventure Odawara is an outdoor high ropes course situated within a protected forest area in the foothills of the Hakone mountains. The park utilizes natural cedar trees as anchor points for its various aerial obstacles and zip lines. It offers multiple courses graded by difficulty, ranging from beginner-friendly paths to high-altitude challenges. The site is part of the larger Forest Adventure franchise in Japan, which prioritizes minimal impact on the local ecosystem during installation. Participants are fitted with full-body safety harnesses and a continuous belay system throughout the duration of the courses. The facility integrates into the hilly Kuno terrain, requiring a moderate level of physical fitness to complete the longer circuits. Safety briefings are mandatory for all participants before accessing the higher platforms.

Insider tips

Wear long sleeves and trousers even in summer to protect skin from rope friction and forest insects.

Arrive at least 20 minutes before your scheduled slot for the mandatory safety equipment fitting and briefing.

Bring a secure strap for glasses or sunglasses as they can easily fall during aerial segments.

What to avoid

Do not attempt the high-difficulty courses if you have a significant fear of heights, as exiting once you have started is restricted.

Good to know

Generally closed on Thursdays, though this may vary during public holiday weeks.

Etiquette

Closed-toe sports shoes are mandatory; sandals and high heels are strictly prohibited for safety reasons.
