The Forest Adventure Park is a zipline obstacle course in the forests of Tokyo. When we arrived, it was pouring rain. We were asked to wait on our bus until the rain subsided or until the park was closed due to weather. The whole bus was extremely disheartened. At the final hour, when the park was about to make the decision to close, the rain let up and then stopped completely. Thank goodness!
We started the course with a lesson in how to use the ziplines and harnesses. The entire course was unsupervised, except for a few safety personnel on the ground. Learning to lock yourself into the zipline properly was important to your survival. After the introduction course, the fun started. The entire course was in the tree tops. You moved from zipline to zipline by going through various obstacles. One obstacle even included a free fall into a rope net.
We had so much fun! I got so dirty from falling back first into sawdust piles at the end of each zipline. These zipline parks are all over Japan, so maybe we'll try the one in Okinawa when we go there in two weeks!

There was lots of rope ladder climbing.

That looks like so much fun! I am going to have to keep a keen eye out for something like that here. I have done indoor rockwall climbing and they have a few other obstacles there but nothing this cool!
