Experience a Temple Forest Walk and Onsen in Hakone near Odawara, Kanagawa

You’ll meet at Odawara Station and travel by train into the quiet Odawara forest area in Kanagawa for a guided forest-bathing journey through an ancient cedar forest and past a 600-year-old temple; your Shinrin-yoku facilitator leads slow breathing and sensory invitations so you can notice bark textures, rustling leaves, forest aromas and shifting light at an unhurried pace, with time to pause and absorb the surroundings, then enjoy lunch at a local temple chaya and finish the day relaxing at a secluded onsen in the woods - please note train fare, lunch and onsen admission are not included in the Viator price and are paid separately during the tour.
