In this tour, you will connect with nature through ’Shinrin-yoku’ (Forest bathing). We will walk through a forest of 600-year-old trees, where the air is pure and the energy is timeless. You will learn how to engage in mindful practices to awaken your senses and restore your inner balance. Set within the sacred grounds of a Buddhist temple, this forest is home to trees that have thrived for over 600 years. Learn about the temple’s rich history and the spiritual significance of these majestic trees as you explore the tranquil trails. After your forest immersion, enjoy a nourishing traditional Japanese lunch at a restaurant within the temple grounds, where each dish is crafted to harmonise the seasons and promote well-being. In the end, you will complete your journey with a visit to a traditional Japanese onsen in the forest, where the warm waters and peaceful surroundings deepen your connection. This is an invitation to heal, recharge and reconnect with the natural world.
