Appi Kogen Beech Forest Exploration Tour
Enjoy and learn about the wonderful nature of Appi Kogen!
The beech forest spreading across Appi Kogen is full of charm throughout the four seasons.
Our guide will introduce you to the pastures that once served as grazing lands and the second-growth beech forests selected among Japan’s Top 100 Forest Bathing Locations, sharing stories of Appi Kogen’s past and present.
From June to July, the beech forests and their surroundings come alive with diverse flora and fauna. Visitors can encounter the Ezoharuzemi cicada, the mysterious ghost plant, and vibrant meadow blooms such as the Japanese azalea and lily of the valley.
