Turning Unused Land into a Place for People to Gather and Enjoy Experiences “GyroRide,” which has logged over 40,000 riders to date, makes its debut at a trade show to propose its nationwide rollout

Life Base Camp, a general incorporated association that operates “Nasu Gyro Ride Park” in Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture(Representative Director: Atsuki Nakamura), which operates “Nasu Gyro Ride Park” in Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, will make its debut appearance at “Leisure & Outdoor Japan 2026,” to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, November 25, to Friday, November 27, 2026.At the venue, the organization will set up a test-ride course for its original off-road electric stand-up two-wheeler, the “Gyro Ride,” and will seek to introduce the machine to tourism, lodging, and leisure facilities nationwide, as well as recruit sales partners.

This experiential activity has been operating in the forests of the Nasu Highlands for over four years and has been ridden by more than 40,000 people in total. We are proposing it as a new attraction that makes use of existing terrain, such as forests, lawns, and park paths.

■Proven track record in facility development and operation, cultivated over more than four years

Approx. 3,000 tsubo: Forest grounds (approx. 10,000 m²)

Over 40,000 total riders: Total number of riders since opening

*Opened in August 2022. The facility’s total annual visitor count is approximately 15,000 (including attached facilities such as lodging and dining).

Despite being located deep in the woods—a remote and hard-to-reach area far from major tourist destinations—Nasu Gyro Ride Park has proven its strong ability to attract visitors who come specifically to experience the Gyro Ride itself.Over the past four years, the park has accumulated a total of over 40,000 riders, establishing expertise ranging from facility development to safety management and operations. Based on this track record, we propose a new visitor attraction model that transforms underutilized land across Japan into “destinations people will go out of their way to visit.”

■ A New Activity: “Utilizing Land to Attract Visitors”

Although Nasu Gyro Ride Park is located in a forest away from the center of the tourist area, it is a facility where customers come specifically for the Gyro Ride, and it has been featured in various media outlets, including “ZIP!,” “Hiruobi,” “Mezamashi TV,” and “Asa Ichi.”We are now offering the operational know-how we’ve cultivated in Nasu to facilities across the country.

・Makes use of existing terrain

Courses are designed to suit the site’s environment and features, such as forests, lawns, garden paths, and slopes. This allows for implementation without relying on large-scale land development.

・New Revenue Stream

In Nasu, we offer sessions for 5,800 yen for 30 minutes and 9,800 yen for 60 minutes (tax included). It can also be combined with existing services such as lodging, BBQ, and cafes.

・Fun for all ages

Features automatic balance control and intuitive operation. We operate this as an experience that can be enjoyed by everyone from approximately age 5 to adults—including families and three generations.

■ What Is “Gyro Ride”?

“Gyro Ride” is our organization’s original electric stand-up two-wheeler designed exclusively for off-road use. Equipped with automatic balance control and large 19-inch off-road tires, it can travel across a variety of terrains, including forests, grassy areas, unpaved surfaces, and snow.Thanks to its excellent dust- and water-resistant performance, it withstands rain and snow, allowing for operations that are largely unaffected by weather or season. It also features the environmental friendliness and quiet operation characteristic of electric vehicles, letting you enjoy the ride while taking in the sounds of the surrounding nature.As the manufacturer, our organization provides comprehensive support—from domestic assembly and inspection to post-installation maintenance—ensuring a system that allows for long-term, worry-free operation.

*Not for use on public roads. Use is limited to private property and other suitable locations.
