I visited the Kamakura tears tour twice with the participants, which is planned and supervised by a tears teacher , a tears therapist (a crying therapist) Hidefumi Yoshida.
I would like to report on that experience.
This tour also means that Yoshida is from Kamakura city, so he thought about what he could do in his local Kamakura with the crying therapy (Ruikatsu), and suggested it to travel agency LINORE, It has been realized.
The crying therapy is activity that consciously cries to relieve stress. Emotional tears (the tears of emotions) have been brain-scientifically proven to relieve stress.
Kamakura has beautiful scenery that makes you cry.
Kamakura is the place where the word "scenic" is exactly described. The spectacular view cannot be seen without tears.
Speaking of Kamakura, it is a temple. In the ubiquitous shrines and temples, there are still stories of inspiring episodes and crying luck.
I participated in two monitor tours under the guidance of Yoshida, which is understandable only because of the locals.
By the way, this tour is available for pre-order on July 9th (crying day).
I participated in a preview tour on July 24 and a tour with general participants on July 30.
