Way out along the mountains overlooking the beaches of the little town of Gotsu, there are ninja lurking in the forest…
…or at least, you’ll feel like a ninja as you make your way through “Adventure Forest,” an obstacle course that is free for both children and adults to use, and provides a good workout no matter what your age. There are occasional challenges in addition to the course of 20 local mythology themed (or at least, name-inspiring) obstacles, and although there are detours for all of them, where’s the fun in that? I did them all and had a great time, but I wish I made use of some of those small muscle groups more often–they get so overlooked when you’re not climbing ropes or scaling trails of logs!

If the view at the end is like that, I’d do it!

There were a few glimpses of the view along the way, but it worked its way up to better and better views. : )

It was! : ) Seeing as three of us were first-timers we took our time and had many laughs along the way, but my friend who lives near there will sometimes run the whole course in 45 minutes for a challenging workout.
