About Shinrinyoku (森林浴、Forest Bathing)

Shinrinyoku, literally translated as “forest bathing,” is a wellness practice that originated in Japan in the 1980s. It is not about exercise or hiking, but about slowing down, walking gently through the forest, and opening all five senses to the sights, sounds, and scents of nature.

Spending time in the forest has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and boost the immune system. The calming effect of trees and fresh air allows the mind to relax and the body to recover from the busyness of daily life.

Today, Shinrinyoku is gaining international recognition as a way to reconnect with nature and improve well-being. Joining a forest bathing tour in Japan offers not only health benefits but also a chance to experience the culture where this practice was born.
