About Fureai Forest

Q1: What kind of facility is it?

Inagi Fureai Forest is a Sound Youth Development facility. It is an outdoor facility (free of charge) used by elementary schools within the city and Sound Youth Development district committees as a place for educational activities and nature experiences.
On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from mid-March to June and from October to November, when there is no scheduled use, the facility is open to the general public and available for use by Inagi City residents. Overnight stays are only permitted when elementary schools within the city or Sound Youth Development district committees use the facility for educational activities or nature experiences during district or school open periods. Overnight stays are not allowed for the general public.

Q2: Can we have a barbecue?

There is a stove for cooking rice in a mess tin as part of educational activities, but it is not suitable for barbecues. We recommend bringing your own barbecue set.
We lend out utensils such as plates, pots, knives, and cutting boards. Please prepare your own ingredients and fuel (firewood or charcoal).
However, bringing in and consuming alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

Q3: I would like to use the Fureai Forest.

Anyone, whether from inside or outside the city, can use the facility on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays during the general open period.
However, if you wish to use the facility with a group of 10 or more people, please check in advance whether your desired date and time are available (contact the Children and Youth Division by phone), and apply using the reservation form below at least one week in advance. The total number of users for all groups combined is limited to 50 people.
