Background of Program Development

The Obo Misaki Nature Park, where this program is implemented, is a rare environment overlooking the forest promenade and the Pacific Ocean, and is a place where you can feel the nature of the four seasons. In autumn, you can enjoy scenery that is different from other seasons, such as deciduous leaves and flowers blooming at this time. In addition to seeing the nature of Minami Boso, we devised this program because we wanted you to engrave it deeper into your heart as a memory of your trip through your five senses, such as fragrance and the feel of leaves.

2. Tour the healing space woven by the forest and the sea


Obo Misaki Nature Park is also known as a forest therapy base certified by Minamiboso City, and is a special place where you can feel the relaxation of your mind and body by entrusting yourself naturally. From the observation tower, you can see the Miura Peninsula, Mount Fuji, and Oshima, and you can enjoy a superb view that combines the sky, the sea and the forest. Mr. Izumi proposes a healing moment, such as sitting on the lawn in front of you and taking a deep breath.

3. Find your favorite plant and make original craft card

While strolling along the forest road, you can pick up deciduous leaves and flowers that your customers are interested in, and put them in a frame to make original craft cards. It is an experience that can be enjoyed from children to ADULTS, such as differences in color, shape and texture depending on the leaves, color of a single leaf varies depending on the location, and leaf veins can be seen when held over the sun. It is one of the pleasures to find colors and plants unique to autumn.

What is "Musubibito"

Considering urban and tourist centers around Japan as "Omoya" and lesser-known areas one step ahead as "Hanare", "Grand Mercure Minamiboso Resort & Spa" is a hotel located in an area full of unknown charm that can be said to be "Hanare". We call a trip that is familiar with the superb view of nature and the traditions and culture rooted in the region, "#Hanare Journey" and advocate it as a new style of travel. The original experience program "Musubibito" will make this "#Hanare Journey" more memorable. People who protect tradition and culture and communicate the charm of the region are called "Musubibito", and under the guidance of this "Musubibito", you can experience the charm of various places.
