In this phytoncide-rich forest, you can join barefoot walking programs or guided forest group tours while enjoying the beautiful natural landscapes. The 'healing' farm features an 'Air Cafe,' where you can drink pour-over coffee while enjoying the fresh air; a hammock resting area; a lawn lying experience; a tropical greenhouse featuring succulents; and a foot bath area. The farm was chosen by the Korea Tourism Organization as a wellness travel destination. You can purchase phytoncide products and Hinoki cypress saplings researched and developed by the farm. 
It takes approximately 1.5 hours to look around and experience the farm. This is a place recommended to tourists who want to experience 'healing' moments in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
