Yusuhara is a land filled with special artefacts that resulted from the worldview and aesthetics of people “living as a part of nature”, the nature-human relationship and wisdom of a kind that flourished in Japan before the Meiji Restoration. This legacy of coexisting with nature forms the background of the many wellness activities that visitors can enjoy in Yusuhara.
You can choose to stretch out to Matsubara, the beautiful and most southern part of Yusuhara, to re-discover a “mindful” self by walking through a beautiful pass that runs through the forest (Kubotani Therapy Road). Or, enjoy a countryside drive around Yusuhara and experience the diversity of nature that spreads across the southern slope of the Shikoku Mountains, ranging over 1,200 m in height. Or perhaps you would like to treat yourself to a relaxing drink or meal in one of Yusuhara’s beautiful cafes or restaurants after a soul-cleansing soak in the natural hot spring.
