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, where you can feel the nature of the four seasons. In autumn, you can enjoy different scenery 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 want you to engrave your heart more deeply as memories of your trip through the five senses, such as fragrance and the feel of leaves.

3 points of this plan

1. "Musubibito" Mr. Kaori Izumi will guide you


Born in Chiba Prefecture. Participating in the Outward Bound School when I was a student, I was fascinated by the charm of nature. I love to see the scenery of nature such as the blue sea and powerful trees, and I have acquired a health tourism attendant qualification because I want to meet many customers and share various experiences in nature.

◾️ Ownership qualifications

・Sharing Nature Game Leader Certified Nature​

2. Travel through the healing space woven by the forest and the sea


Obosaki 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 to nature. From the observation tower, you can see the Miura Peninsula, Mount Fuji, and Oshima, and you can enjoy the superb view of 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 you care about yourself 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 leaf, color of a single leaf varies depending on the location, and leaf veins can be seen when held in the sun. It is one of the pleasures to find colors and plants unique to autumn.

What is "Musubibito"?

Grand Mercure Minamiboso Resort & Spa is a hotel located in an area full of unknown charm that can be said to be "Hanare" when urban areas and tourist centers around Japan are regarded as "Hanare". The trip that is familiar with the superb view of nature and the traditions and culture rooted in the region is called "#Hananari Journey" and is proposed as a new style of travel. The original experience-based program "Musubibito" will make this "#Hanari 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.
