Experience

Even in the hot summer sun, the air is cool as soon as you step into the forest.
Walking under the natural canopy of trees, surrounded by the silence and coolness, will instantly lighten your body and mind.

The "Wild Bird Forest Nature Watching" tour in the Karuizawa Hoshino area is an experiential tour where you can feel the breath of nature while walking through the forest with a guide. The tour takes about two hours and is a gentle walk of about one kilometer one way. Even small children and first-time visitors can easily experience the charm of the forest.

As you walk along the path bathed in sunlight filtering through the trees, you can hear the presence of squirrels, beetles, and the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
Time flows in nature in a slightly different way from everyday life.

With family, friends, or even three generations of parents and children.
Why not spend some time surrounded by the coolness and tranquility of summer in the forests of Karuizawa?
