Lake Shikotsu Forest Therapy
Experience forest therapy in the primeval forest on the shores of Lake Shikotsu. Refresh your mind and body in the forest filled with phytoncides.
The primeval forest on the shores of Lake Shikotsu is designated as a certified forest therapy road, where you can experience guided forest therapy walks. In the forest where giant trees hundreds of years old stand, phytoncides—volatile substances released by trees—are said to bring relaxation effects. By walking through the forest while practicing deep breathing techniques and natural observation using all five senses under the guidance of a guide, you can expect effects of stress reduction and improved immunity. After the therapy, warming your body in the Shikotsu-ko hot springs is the standard course.
