Purpose: This study investigated the experiences of wheelchair users participating in forest healing activities through barrier-free tourism on a specially designed forest trail catering to disabled and elderly individuals. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and effects of forest healing activities among wheelchair users and examine how these emotional responses to forest landscapes differ based on the number of visits.
 Methods: The target participants for the survey were individuals with disabilities who utilized wheelchairs for mobility. The structured questionnaires were collected and analyzed. ANOVA with Scheffe’s test was employed to assess differences in means among the variables.
 Results: The results indicated that natural scenery was the most favored factor among wheelchair users engaging in forest healing activities. Participants displayed a significantly positive emotional response to the natural surroundings, with an average affective appraisal score of 4.33. The frequency of visits was found to have a statistically significant influence on emotional evaluation, as higher visit numbers correlated with higher emotional ratings. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that the recovery experience, encompassing the sense of security and relief from psychological tension provided by the natural scenery, increased significantly across different visit groups (once visit, 2-9 visits, and 10 or more visits).
 Conclusion: It is implied that more frequent engagement in forest healing activities strengthen the recovery experience and improve stress coping abilities. These findings highlight the importance of expanding barrier-free forest trails to enable diverse and frequent forest healing experiences for disabled and elderly individuals.
