Two Powers, Two Creativities
From racing machines that roar through the circuit, to bikes and cars that make people's lives more enjoyable, and even the humanoid robot "ASIMO", Honda has created "things" that amaze the world. The origin of Honda as a company lies in the challenging spirit of creating things. Each and every one of us cherishes our dreams and ideas of "wouldn't it be fun if there was something like this, something that would make many people happy", and we challenge ourselves every day to create new products and technologies.
And what supports "Honda of manufacturing" from the foundation is two powers, two creative abilities. One is "imagination" and the other is "creativity".
When we trace back the source of these two creative powers to the depths of human activity, it may be the power of "awareness". In our daily lives, we may wonder "why" or feel curious, and we may feel "interesting" or "fun" in a straightforward way. In other words, "sensitivity" is the parent of imagination and creativity. And this "power of awareness" and "flexible sensitivity" will undoubtedly play an important role for the new generation that will lead the next era.

Contradiction between nature and civilization
Next to Hello Woods, there is a huge circuit with an area equivalent to 15 Tokyo Domes. On race days, the sound of engines may disturb the peacefulness of the quiet forest. While we strive to provide the best entertainment for motorsport fans, it is a fact that Honda has a significant impact on the natural environment of Motegi. The conflict between nature and development is a common issue in modern society, and for Honda, it was a major challenge to determine how to balance this contradiction and promote activities in Hello Woods.
Producer Takahiro Sakino of the forest said this.
"We can no longer abandon civilization. And we must value nature even more. There is no longer a choice between the two. We are living in the midst of such contradictions. So what should we do? Let's recognize those contradictions and interact with nature. Let's move forward while balancing nature and technology. And let's think hard about what balance will benefit the world and people. Flowers bloom and birds sing alongside the roads where cars race. Let's pay attention to those flowers and birds. There is no other path to take."
"Play" and "Learning" Mechanism
As humans, by playing in nature and feeling the presence of life, our five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) become lively and active, and our five senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching) become sharpened. At Hello Woods, there is a "system" that brings out the instincts and sensibilities that humans naturally possess, and by further experiencing them, we discover treasures such as individual emotions and wisdom.
First, start by showing interest. The Hello Woods way of thinking.
At Hello Woods, we start by getting people interested in nature.
This leads to the power of "awareness" and further becomes "wisdom" through various experiences.
The mechanism of "play and learn" is made up of participants, fields, casts, and programs.
