While many visitors race across Lake Ashi on a pirate ship or rush between ropeway stations, our shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) session invites you to do something radically different: STOP. We don't just walk through the forest; we immerse in it. Our sessions are held in secluded pockets of the lakeshore that most tourists don't see. Here, the only sounds are the gentle lapping of the water and the rustle of the trees. This isn't a hike; it's a chance to finally hear the silence that Hakone is famous for.

Itinerary
Join us for a 3-hour Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing) experience led by a certified facilitator. We will meet in Moto-Hakone before being transported by car to the trailhead, leaving the bustle behind as we approach a forest protected for centuries alongside a legendary Shinto shrine by Lake Ashi.
