I ground every single day before work. It relaxes me and keeps my stress low and I feel more relaxed.

I've become fascinated by discovering nature within just 15 minutes of home—and how easy it is to overlook or forget the world we're not currently experiencing.
Recently, I cycled to a nearby woodland to capture some photos on film, then rewound it and rode into town to shoot again over the same roll. They didn't turn out exactly as I'd planned (I must have loaded the film half-a-frame differently the second time!), but I'm intrigued by the unexpected overlaps.
What do you see first—the streets or the trees? The textures of brickwork or the bark?
I appreciate both worlds, but I'm pretty sure more of us need to visit the trees more often!

Introduction
Japan’s remote islands are ideal for wellness escapes, offering serene natural beauty far from the mainland's bustle. These islands—Yakushima, Okinawa’s outlying islands, and Ogasawara—provide unique wellness experiences that help visitors connect with nature and rejuvenate. In this article, we will explore these remote islands as perfect destinations for relaxation and wellness.
Yakushima: A Nature Lover’s Paradise
First, let’s visit Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage site off Kyushu. It is famous for its ancient cedar forests and rugged mountains. The island is often described as a “natural spa,” where the forest itself offers a sense of healing and restoration.
Visitors can enjoy forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku), which involves walking through the forest to connect with nature. Additionally, the onsen at Hirauchi Kaichu Onsen, a seaside hot spring accessible only during low tide, provides a unique experience of soaking in mineral-rich waters while listening to the ocean waves. For a deeper wellness journey, Sankara Hotel & Spa offers luxury accommodations and spa treatments inspired by the island’s natural elements, ensuring guests leave rejuvenated.
Okinawa’s Outlying Islands: Tropical Wellness
Next, we explore Okinawa’s outlying islands, known for their long-living population and healthy lifestyle. These islands, including Miyakojima, Ishigaki, and Iriomote, feature pristine beaches and clear waters, making them ideal for relaxation and wellness retreats.

The First Forest Bathing - 4th September 2025
Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice of immersing yourself in nature using all your senses to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. It involves slowing down, observing the natural world with your senses, and breathing deeply, rather than focusing on exercise or reaching a destination.
