The tree top pathway is barely 3 metres and not really at much of a height. The trails are poorly marked and it is hard to tell if one is on the correct trail path or not. Even the easy trails are very narrow so one has to be very sure of foot to do these. If it has rained and the paths are wet, it gets slippery and dangerous. Dont attempt the medium or hard ones unless you are in good condition. Even though I do trails regularly and am in pretty good physical condition for my age, it got really tricky for me on the medium difficulty trail. I did all trails across two days except the hard one. The picnic area is nice and open but the trails, even the easy ones are not safe for children. Toilets are open 7am to 7pm (if I remember correctly). That said, the forest area is definitely worth seeing and experiencing. If you sight an eel, they are beautiful creatures. The 800 year old miso tree is interesting. At the top, the experience of being in that dense foliage is wondrous. Gloves recommended so you can hold on to the trees as you go up and down. Or walking sticks for seniors.
