About
Primeval forest of ancient maples and cedars, crossed by trails leading to waterfalls and statues.
This protected ancient forest shelters centuries-old trees with gnarled trunks and dense vegetation. Mountain trails pass waterfalls and Buddhist statues scattered throughout nature. The atmosphere is calm and conducive to contemplation, especially when light filters through branches.
