Kumano Kodo Hiking Trail Japan

When we first started hiking the Kumano Kodo I was awe struck by the amount of Japanese cedar trees you hike through. It’s hard to put into words but the feeling of being immersed in nature like that is such a good feeling. After a while my wife and I started calling it “forest bathing”. As if the trees around you are clearing off all the bad “juju” you have on or in you. I thought I would want to listen to music with my headphones but I was completely content with the sounds of the forest and my feet walking on the trail.
