Sweat and refresh - I experienced the Nordic Walk for the first time. It was tough, but it turned out to be a great exercise using muscles I don't use every day!

Nordic Walking Tour - I had a really good time joining the Lake Shidaka and Lake Kagurame Nordic Walking tour, and the guides were very friendly, explaining everything in detail. That was my first time using Nordic Walking poles, so the guides firstly explained how to adjust the poles according to my height and how to use them properly. The forest bathing experience was also a nice experience to feel nature. And then we continue the tour, visiting the shrine. That was a relaxing experience.

Nordic Walking & Forest Bathing First Experience 🌿 - I joined a guided tour to Shidaka Lake and Kagurame Lake. This was my first time trying Nordic walking and forest bathing, and I really enjoyed both. The guide are really kind and friendly and explained how to use the Nordic walking poles. I really enjoyed forest bathing. Just slowing down, breathing deeply, and paying attention to the nature around me was surprisingly refreshing. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a light outdoor activity with beautiful scenery and a chance to relax in nature.

Wellness tourism and walking tour - I took a Nordic walking for Lake Shidaka and Lake Kagure..The service was really good and the hosts are really kind and patient. They even provide some snacks, juice and water. There was also forest bathing section where you just lie down on grass and feel the sounds of nature around Lake Shidaka. They even guide us to some temples around the area. It was such a great experience to relax my mind, exercise my body and feel the nature of Oita.
