Aokigahara Healing Forest Walk
青木ヶ原樹海
4.4Est. 120Fujikawaguchiko, Chubu
Local Pick
Overview
Guided forest therapy walks through a lava-formed woodland at Mount Fuji's base.
A unique lava-formed forest at the northwestern base of Mount Fuji, where guided nature therapy walks follow marked trails through a dense canopy of hemlock, cypress, and hardwood trees growing over 1,200-year-old lava flows. The forest's unusual geological formations, lava tubes, ice caves, and root-wrapped rock, create a landscape unlike anywhere else in Japan. Guided wellness walks focus on mindful observation and forest bathing techniques.
Local tips
Always go with a certified nature guide. The forest is dense and trails can be disorienting. Book through the Fujikawaguchiko tourist office for accredited forest therapy guides.
