Next, you will visit the Easter Weaving Room and witness weavers utilizing traditional techniques to produce beautiful hand-loomed textiles. Bespoke pieces like placemats, rugs, clothing, and accessories are sold at the adjacent shop.

Some of these are said to be infused with good energy and bring good luck to those who touch them. After forest bathing, you’ll be served with a sumptuous lunch followed by an indulgent 2-hour traditional massage at a Wellness Spa Treatment facility in Camp John Hay.
