Japan's nature therapy directly on the Rhine
Forest bathing in Bingen against everyday stress
Forest bathing comes from Japan. No wonder, because almost 70 percent of the Japanese islands are covered with forests. Here, the combination of recreation and nature therapy has been around for a long time. It is called "Shirin Yoku". But in Japan it is not just a hobby, but is increasingly being researched, promoted and prescribed as therapy.
