At Iwate Children's Forest, you can play both inside and outside. Inside, there is a tower called ``Noppi'', which stands tall and is called the Tower of Adventure. A "toy bath" with lots of toys. The "Job Train" allows you to enjoy jobs such as working at a post office or a beauty salon. "Yom Yom" allows you to read many picture books. There are many spots where children can see their eyes shining.

The Job Train is popular with girls who like playing house. You can become a Japanese sweets shop, a sushi shop, a photographer, or a train conductor. When you become a postman, your job is to actually deliver mail to all parts of the building. Children can be seen running around the building and working hard.

For children who like doodling, we recommend the doodle corner. You can freely draw graffiti on the extremely long wall. Movie theaters have a lot of cute cushions. Many children sit on those cushions and get absorbed in watching movies.

There is a bicycle generator, and if you pedal hard enough, a light next to it will turn on. It's a heartwarming spot to see children rowing desperately.

You can rent the tent and all the tools needed for a barbecue. Many people think that it is especially difficult to carry barbecue equipment. You can rent it for around 3,000 yen including the usage fee. This convenience is also the reason why barbecue is gaining popularity.

At the campsite, you can also try making pizza in an authentic stone oven. There is also a tree house that is popular at the moment, as well as wooden swings.
