• This professional nature restoration, adventure, and retreat experience takes place amidst the sea, forests, streams, and waterfalls of Chinen, Nanjo City, in southern Okinawa. The purpose of this tour is not just to "see and play" in nature. We will clean the beach to tidy up the sea, open our five senses with forest bathing, and help create a forest that revitalizes the land. Then, working together with our companions, we will climb a stream and head towards a hidden waterfall. At the waterfall, while feeling the power of the water all over our bodies, we will quietly contemplate what we "want to let go of" and what we "want to cherish from now on."
• Beach cleanup experience
• This program is designed for residents of Chinen and those involved with Okinawa, offering opportunities for local rediscovery and interaction. Participants will walk along the coast and through the forests surrounding Seifa Utaki, participating in beach cleanups and forest maintenance activities. While engaging with the local nature, culture, and history of prayer—things we often overlook—participants will also learn about the challenges the community faces, such as aging and environmental conservation. It's not just about enjoying nature; by helping to maintain the community with your own hands, you'll cultivate a sense of attachment and pride. After the activities, there will be time for dialogue, providing an opportunity to build new connections and friendships with the community. This experience will allow you to feel that Chinen is not just a place to live, but a place to grow together.
• Forest regeneration activities, seaside meditation, sacred site walks, interaction with local residents, creating a third place.
• Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and rejuvenate your mind and body in Chinen, a sacred place in Okinawa. Spend time by the sea overlooking Kudaka Island and in the tranquil forest, participating in beach cleanups and forest maintenance activities. Time spent in harmony with nature is also time to rejuvenate your own inner self. While immersing yourself in the culture of prayer and the view of nature, you will remember the "sense of being alive" and "connection" that are often forgotten in the city. Recommended for solo travelers and those at a turning point in their lives.
• A mental reset, connections with friends, discovering a second place, and reconnecting with nature.
