Hiking

It is registered under the Ramsar Convention as a "wetland of international importance, especially as a habitat for waterfowl."

Shakyo (Sutra copying)
More on Ohio Pen
Shakyo is the act of writing Buddhist sutras with ink and brush. It is popular not only among Japanese but also foreign tourists as a Japanese cultural experience. Shakyo, which involves carefully copying Buddhist sutras one character at a time, can only be accomplished with a high level of concentration. One of the most notable benefits of sutra copying is "mental stability." It has been found that beta endorphin, with analgesic properties, promoting a "sense of well-being," is secreted when performing sutra writing and chanting. Nikko-zan Onsen-ji Temple and Chuzenji Temple offer Shakyo experiences. In addition, visitors to Nikko-zan Onsen-ji Temple can also take a relaxing bath at the temple. This is extremely rare in Japan!
