Introduction
* Destination suggested by KTO Tokyo Office
Korea, a popular East Asian destination for Japanese tourists, boasts stunning natural landscapes year-round. Yet, it’s the autumnal colors in Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do that truly captivate visitors with their breathtaking blend of golden ginkgoes and fiery maples amidst the rugged mountains. Goesan, renowned for its fall beauty, draws admirers from both within Korea and across the globe.
As the KTO Tokyo Office suggests, “Each of Korea’s seasons unveils a distinct charm, but it is during autumn when the country really shines. The air is crisp, the skies are clear, and nature is awash with a kaleidoscope of falling leaves. For those seeking to experience this spectacular display, we highly recommend a trip to Goesan in Chungcheongbuk-do. Locations such as the ginkgo-lined roads of Mungwang Reservoir and the serene valleys of Hwayanggugok offer peaceful retreat to rejuvenate both body and soul.”
