The Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology such as the IC tag and IC card has grown to the key technology in the IT industry. Combining with the network system, this technology realizes very convenient systems that are characterized by easy user interfaces. The distribution industry utilizes this technology for the traceability of foods, and the museums utilize for the management of visitors and the interpretation of exhibitions. This paper presents the recent status of RFID technology and gives some examples of practical application together with new ideas. As the application is not yet developed for the forestry information, the applicability of RFID technology is considered to the forestry management and forest products.
