If they use the forest bath as a means, I see value in it. If they use it as an end, I see it as just another chore.

If you are a city person, and doing this illuminates a sense of connection to the earth, and you can build on it daily, then yes. Get a banzai tree and take yourself into it every day.

If you must go pay for a trip to this particular place in order to lower your blood pressure periodically, then no. If you can not afford it, are you distraught?

Can the flow of traffic not be seen as a burbling brook? Is the spacious sky not omnipresent?

Fashion.
