Overview

Pick-up and drop-off within Yoshino Town only!
Experience Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing) in Yoshino, home to Nara Prefecture's first certified therapeutic forest and a region renowned for its spiritual mountains and rich natural heritage. During this immersive experience, you will walk through peaceful forest trails, visit a refreshing waterfall, enjoy tea surrounded by nature, create your own aroma spray, and relax in a hammock beneath the trees.

Unlike a typical hike, this tour focuses on mindfulness, relaxation, and connecting with nature through all five senses. Led by a local English-speaking guide, guests gain insight into Japanese wellness practices and the deep relationship between the people of Yoshino and their forests. This experience is perfect for families, couples, nature lovers, and wellness travelers seeking a peaceful escape from busy city life while discovering a unique side of rural Japan.
