Why do I sometimes want to seek out nature such as the sea or mountains? I believe that this is probably a signal that your body wants to release something that has accumulated unconsciously in your daily life. After all, nature is important to us. Having said that, there are unfortunately few opportunities to interact with nature. Why not take a trip just to relax in nature? What we recommend this time is a stay on a remote island in the Seto Inland Sea in Hiroshima. Why not go on a happy island trip where you don't try anything and only value your feelings?

Even if you want to relax surrounded by nature, don't you put it off because you're busy? That casual thought is surely a sign of SOS sent by the body. In that case, listen carefully to yourself. Just like having foliage plants and cut flowers in your room can heal your heart, everyone naturally heals and gains power. That's why, when you're looking for nature, get close to that feeling and go on a journey surrounded by nature.

To relax in nature, go to a remote island inn in the Seto Inland Sea of Hiroshima
