Following the resounding success of the Magical Forestry Tour in 2019, bookings are being taken for the 2020 Magical Forestry Tour (May 10-15, 2020). Again led from Sydney by Richard Snashall, guests travel to the beautiful Kii Mountains of Wakayama, staying at a small family run hotel in the village of Kawayu Onsen. The Magical Forestry Tour offers guests the opportunity to become part of local life for 6 days (5 nights) joining in activities with hotel owner/farmer/forester and the family on their own land. These include tea harvesting, processing and (of course) tasting, rice growing, forestry, Japanese cooking, calligraphy and zen meditation. Guests will be able to enjoy hiking the breathtaking Kumanokodo, visiting local shrines and temples, and relax in the hotel'ss private hot spring onsens (baths) or even dig a personal onsen in the smooth pebbles next to the Oto River. Much of the delicious fresh food served at the hotel is grown by the family. The Magical Forestry Tour will be a relaxing, rejuvenating and personal experience for a small group.
Guests book their own airfares to Kansai International Airport (near Osaka), joining Richard and the group on May 10, 2020, and of course are encouraged to extend their stay in Japan.
Tour inclusions:
Return transport from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to the village of Kawayu Onsen
