Full Description

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.

After a gentle half-hour walk through the quiet woodland, we will arrive at a peaceful corner surrounded by towering cedars and sacred stillness. Here, your certified guide will help you awaken your five senses. Feel the textures of moss and ancient bark, listen to the breeze through the canopy and the soft rustle of unseen life, and breathe deeply the rich, calming scent of the trees. Through simple invitations to slow down and observe, you will be guided to let go of distractions and immerse yourself in a rhythm of time that has flowed silently for hundreds of years.

By the end, you will carry more than deep relaxation. You will have touched a living piece of Japan’s spiritual landscape, sensing why this forest has been woven into Japanese culture for generations. You will leave with a genuine understanding of what Shinrin-Yoku truly means in the land where it was born. The experience concludes back in Moto-Hakone.

Full Description

In this Half-day Hike Hakone Hachiri tour, you will start from Hakone Yumoto Station.

You will hike 2-3 hours along the old Tokaido highway some on cobbled paths and some on forest trails between Hakone Yumoto and Lake Ashi. Some part of this path is off-the-beaten track and we normally have the forest for ourselves. This part of the Hachiri has the best preserved cobbled path and more primitive forests. You will hike past the wood crafting village of Hakone – Hatajuku and we skip the steepest part of the trail by bus and reach a teahouse that has a history of 400 years. After an energising amasake, we will continue our hike to Lake Ashi where if you are lucky, you can have a picture with Mt Fuji and the lake view. The Hakone checkpoint is our last stop where you will understand the significance of Hakone in the history of Japan. At the end of the tour, you can then catch a bus or a ferry (pirate ship) to your next destination at around 1pm.
