Walking through Ocean Sounds and Giant Trees: A Special Forest Bathing Experience

About this event

This is a special forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) experience exploring Ohayashi, one of the Kanto region's premier giant tree forests, together with a certified forest therapy guide. The Manazuru Peninsula is a small peninsula jutting into Sagami Bay, and Ohayashi at its tip is a lush forest where 150,000 black pines planted by the shogunate in the Edo period have flourished under restricted public access for over 350 years. Described as a "forest of giant trees floating on the sea," this location provides a unique healing experience filled with negative ions created by forest phytoncides and the sound of ocean waves. By freeing yourself from the stresses of modern society and sharpening your five senses, you can fully appreciate the fragrance of trees, the chirping of wild birds, the sound of the wind, and the beauty of fresh greenery and autumn foliage. With support from the forest therapy guide, tuning into nature's rhythm and receiving the full healing power of the forest and sea is expected to enhance your body and mind's innate natural healing abilities. Accessible in just 2 hours from central Tokyo, it is an ideal program to escape the urban bustle and refresh both body and mind.
