Lake Shidaka / Lake Kagurame Nordic Walking Tour

Wellness Tour: Heal Your Mind and Body While Visiting Local Power Spots

We will pick you up at Beppu Station and drive to Lake Shidaka in Beppu City.
After a simple Nordic walk lesson at Lake Shidaka, after visiting the power spot “Shidaka Hakuryu Shrine,” we will go on a Nordic walk to “Lake Kagurame.” You will experience “forest bathing” along the way.
After that, we will travel by car, visit the miraculous “Hnou-Honome Shrine Chugu (Mitake Gongen),” and then be sent to Beppu Station or your accommodation.
Our guides are qualified Nordic walking instructors and forest therapy guides, making this a tour that anyone can easily experience.

◆ Shidaka Lake – One of Beppu’s “Three Famous Scenic Spots,” located inside Aso Kuju National Park. A truly beautiful oasis.
◆ Forest Bathing Experience – Lie down by the lakeside, breathe deeply, and enjoy meditation surrounded by nature.
◆ Nordic Walking – A fun, low-impact activity that eases stress on the knees and hips. Perfect for all ages, from kids to seniors!
