Forest bathing | Just 1 hour from Fukuoka! A relaxing activity to experience in a World Heritage forest

Yakushima, a remote island in Kagoshima Prefecture, will celebrate its 30th anniversary of being registered as a World Heritage Site in 2023. The island is surrounded by rich nature, including Jomon Cedar trekking and Shiratani Unsuikyo Gorge, which is said to have been the setting for the Ghibli film "Princess Mononoke" and was the inspiration for director Hayao Miyazaki's visit◎ Trekking, mountain climbing, marine sports, and other activities are famous, but did you know that a new forest activity has recently become secretly popular...? ! It's forest bathing! ...What is it? Many people are wondering🤣 Simply put, it is a retreat experience where you can enjoy the rich forest with all your senses🌳 [Recommended for the following people] ・I want to experience the forest of a World Heritage Site! ・But trekking and mountain climbing take time and are physically exhausting😂 ・I want to be healed rather than being active ・I also recommend it for those who want to heal and take care of themselves after daily fatigue💡! This time, I participated in a half-day tour with a custom-made plan, and the 4 hours flew by! It was my first experience, but it was a time to carefully face each thing and feel various things around me that I tend to overlook in my daily life 🌿 The grandeur of nature was so amazing that it was truly extraordinary! Along the way, I was given snacks and was able to face not only nature but also myself... Of course, I didn't have any muscle pain and it was very healing ♡⁡ It is an activity that is not introduced in guidebooks yet, but please try it ♡ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ・Reservations are required before traveling to Yakushima! ・The main tour is a one-day tour where you eat lunch in the forest ・The healing effect of the forest is said to be scientifically proven...! ・You can enjoy the scenery like Ghibli even though you are walking in the forest without getting tired ♡ ・One-day tours are the main tour, but you can make a tour to order according to your wishes ◎⚠︎The departure time in the morning is early, so you may not be able to make it in time for breakfast at the hotel!
