Taura Ume no Sato - Part III: Ninja Training

As I was saying, a year round attraction at Taura Ume no Sato is the playground, or the Ninja Training Course:

Stefan and Dougie went at it backwards, Edmund Hillary style, rappelling down the mountain...

Backpacks in tow...

Eaton and Ian went about it start...

To finish.

As they pass...

Ian climbs the rope tube

And slowly makes his way down...

The traffic jam he caused...

The near exit...

Smiling at the standing ovation he got from all the parents (not just us!) 

Not so happy about Stefan passing him...

Phew!

 

 Monkey on a wire

Monkey on the monkey bars

Zipline!!!!

They climbed the railing to be able to sit on the rope... The other kids just held on.

 

Climbing up the grass hill.  So steep.  So tired.  Must bear-walk
