Highlights
This is a forest bathing journey combining a peaceful cedar forest, a historic temple, lunch and an onsen. We meet at Odawara Station and travel by train to the forest area, where a 600-year-old temple stands among centuries-old cedars. Along the temple paths, your Shinrin-yoku facilitator leads slow breathing and sensory invitations: noticing bark textures, rustling leaves, forest aromas and the changing light. The pace is unhurried, with time to pause and take in the surroundings. We then have lunch at a local temple chaya. The day finishes at an onsen in the forest. Train fare, lunch and onsen admission are not included in the Viator price and are paid separately during the tour.

Itinerary
We will enjoy a stroll in the forest in this temple. The forest has huge trees of over 500 years old and it is a forest that heals your mind and body. Lunch is in a Chaya in the forest area that provides Japanese lunch. Their Japanese confectionary is famous among the local people. The healing onsen is also in this mountain where we will enjoy the water that has healing water after lunch. You return to Odawara station after onsen at the end of the tour.

About Odawara
Odawara is a castle town on Sagami Bay in Kanagawa, at the foot of the Hakone hills, with a rebuilt castle, fish paste and pickled plums.
Odawara was the stronghold of the Later Hōjō clan until 1590, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi besieged the castle and ended their rule, and it was later a post town on the Tōkaidō road. The castle keep, rebuilt in 1960 within moats and stone walls, holds a museum, and cherry trees and a small park surround it.
