Kids walk in Yatsugatake, Japan

The other day, when I told about going to do a walk with kids and some of their parents during one of the online gatherings,

@Dr Nicolene du Preez

asked me to share some photos. The walk was last Friday in what I jokingly call my backyard. I am surrounded by a beautiful natural area. The name of the mountains is Yatsugatake, Eight Peaks. The mountains are what is left of a volcano that blew its top about 3 million years ago. The group consisted mainly of high school girls, and three parents. I integrated some ecotherapy activities and told them about nature and the processes of nature to make them aware of the different aspects of the mountains and nature in the area.

For them, the river with waterfall was the pinnacle of the walk... Oh, and the soft serve ice cream at the end of the walk. 😋
