  • Wow! Stunningly beautiful. We were fortunate to visit on a quiet day in Autumn and this temple ranks among the best in Korea. Highly recommended. One thing to note is that you can eat down in the car....  more

  • Very beautiful village and temple along the river. Worth stopping there! Plenty of restaurant at the start if needed.

  • I enjoyed a hike around the temple but the temple itself was a little dissapointing. There are so many new buildings, cars parked everywhere that the atmosphere is more of a "lived in quarters" than a Joseon era temple. I think for example Buseoksa Temple was better, but that's just my opinion.
  • Visited Oct. 2nd, 2022. I loved the view, walk, forest, temple. You can buy good wodden scent cooking chopstick. I suggest you don't buy drinks from gift shop, not terrible but not good.
