This hands-on learning facility provides information on forestry and the opportunity to spend time in the woods getting close to nature. It's near the site of Kururi Castle heading south on National Route 410 from JR Kururi Station. You can join woodworking programs with dedicated machinery in their practical training room. The lobby has an exhibit with traditional toothpicks and armor worn during the Kururi Castle Festival. Their eatery serves chiffon cake and dishes made with wild game. Walk down the promenade to the arbor and take in the seasons with rhododendrons in spring and colorful foliage in fall.
