Make your own bow and arrow (Handicraft)

Wood chopping
This is something which you probably do not experience in your evey day life in Japan. It is very popular with adults. All meals at Gankoyama are cooked with the wood we chop ourselves.

Cooking lunch in a wood fire stove
We have a wood fire stove which is made from an old oil drum. You make a fire in it using the wood which you have chopped with our axe. This stove is simple but very powerful and cooks very good pizza or roast vegetables.

Sleeping in a hammock
You can read or sleep in a hammock in the forest in your free time. It is guaranteed to make you feel refreshed.

Tree climbing
Gankoyama is surrounded by trees you can climb. You do not use any special equipment when you climb trees at Gankoyama. You only use a rope and stick which is the traditional Japanese way to climb trees. |

Sleeping in a tree house
Gankoyama is not a camping area; you sleep in a comfortable tree house. Our tree houses are actually designed to be lived in. They all have privacy and lights in the rooms. You can even recharge your digital camera battery there. You can bring your own sleeping bag or if you do not have one, you can borrow one of ours.
