History

Anthropologically, nature therapy appears to have existed since the dawn of time in many cultures and tribes. In modern times, for example, the concept of Shinrin-yoku (???) was introduced in Japan in the early 1980s and may be regarded as a form of nature therapy. In Japan, Shinrin-yoku has become established across all prefectures with more than 60 Forest Therapy Camps by the end of 2016.
