Open your five senses and become one with the forest
Forest bathing ”Shinrin-yoku”, has gained worldwide attention as a way to enhance well-being, and Japan is known as its birthplace. Yakushima, with its ancient cedar forests and mystical atmosphere, offers the perfect setting for this transformative experience.
Open your five senses and take a leisurely walk in the great nature of Yakushima. We offer you the experience of becoming one with the forest as you close your eyes and listen to the sounds of the forest, smell the leaves and soil.
This tour is ideal for those who want to slow down and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the woods. It’s also perfect for those seeking to bring the essence of the forest back into their daily lives, carrying its peace and vitality long after their journey ends.
