I have another forest bathing tour which have been popular over the past few years. It is relaxing and entertaining, involving some walking exercise. At the same time, I was also feeling an increasing demand for forest bathing which focuses more on the senses and requires less walking. After researching several different locations in the Hakone area, I found this forest which is ideal for the new yet authentic Shinrin-Yoku experience. In this activity, no need to walk up or down. The site is mostly flat so that anyone can join without much worry. In between your busy sightseeing days, you can stop by the lakeshore in Hakone to refresh your body and soul.

What To Expect

We will visit a beautiful forest which have been protected together with a legendary Shinto shrine by Lake Ashi. In a peaceful corner of this forest, I will help you feel the forest using your five senses, to immerse yourself in the time that flows over hundreds of years. In the end, by getting a sense of the value of the forest which have been so important to Japanese people and culture, you will have a better idea of what Shinrin-Yoku in Japan is about.

Didn’t know anything about forest bathing before this experience. Aki was the perfect guide to get started with and the lakeside forest in Hakone was such a spectacular location—spiritual and historic with understated natural beauty. This was just the right level of immersion into nature without being too physically exerting. I felt so welcomed into a tradition that I was previously totally unfamiliar with. We did this tour on the last day of our trip to Japan and I felt like I returned with a newfound sense of connection to nature and time. We would absolutely use Coconuts Hike Japan again on our next trip—highly recommended.
