Misugi Forestry Experience

Thanks to forestry, Misugi used to be in good financial shape and the increasing number of cheap imported wood, however, caused the forest industry to decline and the population of young people to decrease.
Under such circumstances, Miura Rinsho, one of the forestry experts, works in Misugi with respecting traditions while also innovating. They will tell a story about the forest industry, moon phase harvesting, etc. and take you into the forest to show you how to cut down trees, operate heavy machinery and shave off the bark of the trees.
*Subject to change due to seasonal availability.

Forest therapy Tour

Misugi was chosen as a forest therapy base only in Tokai area, and the physiological and psychological relaxing effect of forest environments in Misugi is scientifically proven. Misugi proposed Health Tourism and provides 12 courses where you can walk through the untouched nature with a local tour guide or a forest therapist.
The power of natural forests has the skin-beautifying effect as well as improves immune functions. Soaking in a hot spring (in Misugi Resort!) is believed to enhance these benefits. Nothing is as pleasant as a walk in woods!

Misugi Nordic waliking

Nordic walking, gaining attention rapidly these years, is a total body version of walking and is performed with specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles. Nordic walking’s concept was developed on the basis of off-season ski-training activity.
