Slide Forest

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the area of long slides and play equipment built into the hillside, known as the signature attraction of Showa no Mori. Because the slope itself is used, the slides are long, and walking back up to the top afterwards makes the round trip good exercise in itself. There are many trees around, so you can wait your turn in the shade, which is a real help in midsummer. There is adventure-style equipment as well, so children of different ages can each find something to suit them. Working up a sweat here before the afternoon water play makes the moment you step into the water feel especially good.

Tips

Slides can leave you hot or dirty, so a mat to sit on and a change of clothes are reassuring. Play equipment can get hot in summer, so touch it first before letting children play. Take frequent breaks in the shade and keep drinking water while you play. Wear trainers you can move in, and prepare separate water shoes so the switch goes smoothly.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The shaded morning hours are the easiest time to be active
