Have you felt refreshed when you entered a forest or relaxed in a park with trees?
 "Forest Therapy" is the scientifically proven effect forest bathing can provide. Forest therapy helps you maintain a healthy body and mind and prevents disease as you enjoy the forest.
In comparison to urban areas, stress hormones decrease in the forest, and the body's immune system improves by spending three days and two nights at a forest resort. This effect has been shown to last between 7 and 30 days. Even day trips have been shown to have an effect that lasts approximately a week. 
Oita City became a certified forest therapy base and forest therapy road by the NPO Forest Therapy Society in March 2012. Physiological and psychological experiments proved that the forests of Oita have healing effects.
There are many types of forests and roads that are suitable for forest therapy. We would like to introduce courses that are accessible by public transportation so that people who do not have cars can also enjoy forest therapy.

* You can check where you are located and the course route by displaying the map of each course.
