About This Tour

Nishikawa timber was once a premium wood used in Tokyo’s architecture, its name reflecting origins west of the city and deep ties to Tokyo’s heritage. Managing centuries-old trees in harmony with the forest is an art, and these foresters are “mountain artists,” shaping nature with care and tradition. In an internationally certified private forest, normally closed to the public, enjoy the aromas of three types of wood. Learn about thinning—a vital practice for healthy forests—then try log cutting yourself. Find a tree that speaks to you, relax beneath its canopy, and savor a quiet moment. Join a hands-on craft: use a pyrography pen to inscribe a kanji of your choice on a wooden piece shaped like Edo Castle. This unique creation becomes a smartphone stand and a meaningful souvenir. Located in Hannō, just an hour by train from Tokyo, the area offers easy access to Chichibu, Kawagoe, and Moomin Valley Park—an ideal nature escape close to the city.
