When was the last time you threw caution to the wind and just went all out?<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, it’s such a long time ago that I barely\u00a0remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s as if becoming an adult meant learning the art of restraint, dialing down those moments when we used to give everything our all.<\/span><\/p>\n

I realize now that the days I ran as fast as I could, fell down, and cried were glorious days. That’s why I went to a place that is reputed to be somewhere I can enjoy with all my might.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>So where did this quest for adrenaline take me?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Forest Adventure Misato!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in the heart of Misato Town, southeast of Kumamoto City, lies “<\/span>Forest Adventure Misato<\/b>” \u2013 a sanctuary of greenery, an arena where nature calls you to play.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Originating in France, this chain of <\/span>eco-friendly<\/b> outdoor parks invites you to blend into its natural beauty and test your mettle against its challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon arrival, the first stop was the registration desk. They’ve got you covered with all essentials, including rental shoes, making it a breeze for impromptu adventurers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Protective gloves are a must for the journey ahead, and I opted for the park\u2019s own.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only practical but also a charming keepsake!<\/span><\/p>\n

No Experience? No Problem!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Once harnessed, it’s time for a quick run-through on how to enjoy the park safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The cardinal rule of Forest Adventure,” as we’re told, “is that <\/span>your safety is in your own hands<\/b>.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

And trust me, it’s a moment of utmost seriousness \u2013 no room for goofing off here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

After the briefing, it’s time to put theory into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Before heading to the real deal, there’s a practice area to get the hang of things. You can practice as much as you need until you feel ready, easing the nerves of even the most anxious participants. Still, everyone approaches the course with a bit of trepidation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But that was just a warm-up!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Pushing Limits in the Great Outdoors<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Forest Adventure Misato is one of over 30 Forest Adventure parks nationwide, but not all parks have an <\/span>Adventure Course<\/b>. The Adventure Course here is the most challenging of all, offering a level of difficulty not found in every location.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Main Attraction No. 1: Japan’s Longest Zip Slide Across a Dam<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Let’s begin the first stage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>This lofty platform right in the heart of the park.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I cross<\/span> the Midorikawa Dam<\/b>, which has a scenic view in front of me,<\/span> with only one rope!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Facing us was <\/span>the Midorikawa Dam<\/b>, ready to be crossed with nothing but <\/span>a single rope<\/b>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The park sits on the banks of the Midori River Dam. In fact, the location was chosen specifically for Forest Adventure because of its potential to host Japan’s longest zipline that crosses over a dam!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
