In addition, the site is equipped with water supply and sewage systems, as well as a sports dome and a swimming pool that were used for programs.

The site is located 30 minutes from Shin-Yamaguchi Station on the JR Shinkansen line, which is capable of carrying a large number of passengers.

For the all day off-site module, water activities such as sailing, wind surfing, snorkeling, rafting and fishing were carried out at the pool and on the nearby coast.

A half day on-site module was also available, with beachside activities such as volleyball, soccer, sand biking, tug-of-war, and water gun fights being carried out at the beach.

A full day module programme, it was an attempt to foster better understanding of the surrounding nature, bringing appreciation to the environment.

This programme provided a venue for learning about the development of fuel cells and other energy sources for the future, ecological problems, robotics and automotive technologies.
