Kasuga Primeval Forest is a sacred area with a history of over one thousand years. However, as a result of a number of factors, it is currently facing a situation in which conservation is necessary. On this tour, you will be able to walk through a normally restricted area and to observe the measures being taken to pass the Kasugayama Primeval Forest on to the next generation. You will also walk along the former approach-way to a temple located within the primeval forest - and encounter a large tree that is hundreds of years old. (The route may be changed if the weather is deemed dangerous.) What kind of problems are occurring in this forest? What is necessary to connect the present of Kasuga Taisha and this sacred precinct to the coming one thousand years? As we proceed on the tour, let us hear from the staff of The Society for the Future of Kasugayama Primeval Forest, an association which is actively conserving and managing the forest. Now, what will you notice, and what kinds of things might you discover? Would you like to change your perspective a little - and experience walking in this ancient forest?
