FOREST ADVENTURE ROPES COURSE
Take a trip to Forest Adventure and swing from the canopy like a real-life Tarzan. Cling onto climbing holds or inch up wooden ladders to scale impressively tall trees. Navigate from branch to branch as you swing on ropes and glide through the air on zip lines. Test your balance on rickety bridges, swaying rings and spaced-out, wooden platforms. Those inclined to falling can rest assured knowing their harness will catch them.
Since invention in the 1990s, outdoor parks have sprung up all over the world drawing in people of all ages and interests; nature lovers appreciate the chance to get outdoors and city dwellers enjoy the thrill. Similar in feel to an amusement park but without the carbon footprint, the innovative courses built within the trees offer guests a stimulating, physically challenging and fun experience.

Visit the Shibazakura Festival to witness the blooming Shibazakura flowers — phlox moss fittingly nicknamed lawn cherry blossom. The average-looking moss transforms every April and May, carpeting the ground in beautiful flowers. Located within the Fuji Five Lakes area, the festival venue provides guests with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji as the vast Shibazakura flower field is displayed in the foreground. Take in the 800,000 vibrant hues of pink,
white and purple plants and explore the festival stalls selling pots of pink moss, Shibazakura-themed souvenirs and local produce. Then, drive along scenic roads to reach Mount Fuji’s Fifth Station. Stand half way up Japan’s tallest mountain at 7,546 feet above sea level. Purchase souvenirs at the charming shops and visit Komitake Shrine to get an aerial view of the nearby cities and Lake Yamanaka.

AERO CLUB & FLIGHT TRAINING CENTER
FLIGHT SAFETY Flight safety is the Yokota Flight Training Center’s primary objective. The following practices and procedures are recommended for flight safety: • Increase pilot awareness on causes of accidents. • Improve safety culture within the aviation community. • Improve pilot training (e.g., weather briefing, equipment, decision-making and human factors). • Improve the quality and substance of weather briefs. • Enhance the flight review and/or instrument competency check. • Develop and distribute mountain-flying technique advisory material. • Eliminate the pressure to complete the flight when continuing may compromise safety. • Ensure aviation activities operate as safely as possible. This means flying with airworthy aircraft that’s been properly prepared and is operated by competent airmen. • Comply with all applicable regulations and limit the risks inherent to flying as much as possible. Our Goal: No accidents. The Yokota Flight Training Center encourages increasing knowledge of safe aviation among customers, members and staff to produce an environment where safety is top priority and second nature.
