​In the hot season, head to a natural athletic course created by lava. Kannabe Highlands is home to Kannabe Volcano, the newest volcano in Kinki and the only one with a crater remaining. ​Trek through the river, using your whole body along the lava flow that was formed when lava solidified after it erupted about 25,000 years ago. Along the way, you can go close to a waterfall, grab onto rocks to move forward, feel the water pressure, and it's just like natural athletics! One of the things to enjoy is the outdoor break time, where you can relax in a secret place. *There are beginner to intermediate routes, so you can choose a course that suits the physical ability of the participants.
