[For Groups of 10-40] Exciting program along SDGs for Team building

This program allows you to move your body in the fresh air in the deep mountain and achieve the team building, as well as contribute effort to solve the regional issues in Hiroshima. 
 


Strongly recognizing that we, ourselves, are also part of the nature, let’s learn about it, and strengthen your teamwork, while circulating the works of nature.

We are sure that its experience should be a strong encouragement in your daily life after that.

In this program, we mainly ask you to help doing “Tree Thinning” to create a rich forest by cutting trees that are unnecessary or better to be out.
To cut down a tree safely, you must work under meticulous calculations and ordered rules. Above all, at the moment of a dangerous that a tree fallen, accurate communication with buddy is indispensable.

In the quiet mountains, the signals between teams are echoing. And the moment when a big tree of 7 m or more makes a noise and collapses while making a wind, is masterpiece.


Why is this “Tree Thinning” needed, by the way?

Fresh air is indispensable for human life. And it is the trees in the mountains that generate that fresh air.

Those trees are able to create a continuous natural cycle by getting thinned out appropriately.

Keeping enough space around the straight tree allows it to reserve the sun light and grow. In addition, in the land where leaves fall, it is possible to maintain an ecosystem in which microorganisms live, insects live, and animals live.

Also, healthy land can store rainwater well and plays a major role as a green dam. And the rainwater that has passed through this land contains nutrients and consequently it leads to the creation of a rich sea. Hiroshima's oysters, which boast the highest production in Japan, are supported by these mountains.

At certain time, national policy had focused on planting trees, but the decline of industry and depopulation has led to the abandoned forests being destroying the natural ecosystem. Let's work together on local issues through thinning work to protect the local area from animal damage and disasters.

While in this activity, you will notice yourself, being right in the process to the Sustainable Development Goals.

And after going through the hard work with your mates, will you get a great sense of accomplishment.

Hiroshima Flower Festival

Cycling the Tobishima Kaido

When you hear the words "Setouchi Cycling," all you imagine is the "Shimanami Kaido"? With many islands in the sea of Hiroshima as well as many bridges spanning them, the area is full of places suitable for cycling. Here, we would like to introduce the Tobishima Kaido (Tobishima Sea Route). The Tobishima Kaido can be accessed from Kure City, which is closer to Hiroshima City than Shimanami Kaido. The route includes seven bridges of various sizes connecting the mainland with seven islands, and the shortest distance is about 30 kilometers. Of course, it can be made shorter if you prefer.

One of the highlights of ...
