Inagi Fureai Forest Frequently Asked Questions

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 local elementary schools and youth development district committees as a place for educational activities and nature experiences.
Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from mid-March to June, August, and from October to November are open to the public and available for use by Inagi City residents. Overnight stays are only permitted when local elementary schools or youth development district committees use the facilities for educational activities or nature experiences during district or school open periods. Overnight stays are not allowed for the general public.

Q2: Can I have a barbecue?

There are stoves for cooking rice in a mess tin as part of educational activities, but they are not suitable for barbecues. We recommend bringing your own barbecue set.
We lend out tools such as plates, pots, knives, and cutting boards. Please prepare your own ingredients, fuel (firewood or charcoal), and drinking water (boiling is required for the facility's tap water).
However, bringing in and consuming alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

Q3: I would like to use the Fureai Forest.

During the general open period, anyone can use the facilities on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, regardless of whether they are from inside or outside the city.
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.

Since December 2014, due to construction on the metropolitan road, the entrance on the Wakaba General High School side has been closed. Please use the entrance on the Odara Street side.
