Miyazaki Area Guide | Nishimoro Forest Skate Park
Skateboarding in Nature
NISHIMORO FOREST PARK is located in the middle of a cypress forest surrounded by the Kirishima mountain range only about 1 hour drive from Miyazaki city. There is a pump track that has been built in using the natural features and flow of the forest. Great for both skateboarding and biking.
Upon entrance of the park there is a good size mini ramp built under a shelter for use on rainy days. The main part of the skatepark is built on a flat section in the forest and has a good selection of features.
There is also a trampoline, slack-lines and various hammocks located around the forest park.
