About
Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest in Agematsu Town is the birthplace of “forest bathing” and a hidden gem, making it an ideal summer escape. More than a simple walk, guided forest bathing encourages deep relaxation by engaging all the senses, with expert guides sharing insights into the forest’s ecology, history, Shinto connections, and therapeutic benefits.
Half-day programs include a guided forest walk, a visit to the forest museum, and a ride on the scenic forest railway. Full-day programs add time on additional trails and, depending on availability, a forest yoga session for deeper relaxation.
