* Geumsansa Temple, the place where the sorrow of King Gyeon Hwon of Later Baekje is contained 1. Geumsansa Temple Overview It was founded during the reign of King Beop of Baekje during the Three Kingdoms period and is said to have been rebuilt by Jinpyo during the Unified Silla period. It is famous as the place where King Gyeon Hwon, who founded Later Baekje, was confined by his eldest son, Singeom. During the Imjin War, the entire temple was burned down by the Japanese army, and major records were lost. It was rebuilt during the reign of King Injo of Joseon and remains to this day. 2. Representative Artifact: National Treasure No. 62, Mireukjeon It has a typical three-story wooden pagoda style, and it is said that Jinpyo originally enshrined an iron Mireuk here. In particular, it is expressed on the explanatory stone that King Gyeon Hwon was confined by Singeom here in Mireukjeon. This is also well depicted in the KBS drama . 3. Designated as 1 National Treasure and 10 Treasures Geumsansa Temple is home to 10 treasures, including National Treasure No. 62, Mireukjeon Hall.

📍Moaksan Mountain: Guimyeon, Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do - Moaksan Mountain is a mountain that spans Guimyeon, Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do and Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si!

The most recommended place on the Jeonbuk travel course! You can enjoy a beautiful view in a fairy tale cabin made by Japanese Mr. Mizuno himself, and eat original onigiri. This is Mizuno's Tree House, a Gimje cafe and accommodation.🤎 The cabin, which is hard to experience anywhere else, has a Ghibli feel and is also like a fairy tale space. It's scary to go up, but the sky you see from that small space is really touching! Sunset time I really recommend it. And the interior space of the cafe is cute and lovely. Since it's also a place to stay, there's a warm home feeling in every corner. Onigiri eaten on a kotatsu is delicious🍙 - - 📍Mizuno's Tree House 🧭49-5 Daedong 1-gil, Mangyeong-eup, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do ⏰️11:00-18:30 (Regularly closed every Tuesday and Wednesday) #Cafe with a good view#Gimje cafe

This is a place that I really want to keep to myself, but at the same time, I want everyone to know about. It feels like a fairy tale space has come to life, and the tree house that Mr. Mizuno personally built, step by step, is truly an amazing place. Three years ago, the trees were still green and green, so it was pretty, but winter has its own charm of being dry, so I definitely recommend you to visit in all four seasons. We also thought that cherry blossoms would bloom in the spring, so we wanted to go again. A cabin that helped me overcome my fear of heights🏡 It was a moment of utmost happiness, as if I had fulfilled a fairy tale romance. It was sunset time, so the sunset view was perfect. Highly recommended as a Gimje travel course🪵 - - 📍Gimje Mizuno Cinetree House 🧭49-5 Daedong 1-gil, Mangyeong-eup, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do ⏰️12:00-18:00 (Closed on Tue and Wed) #Winter travel#Gimje travel#Mizuno Cinetree House

I came here in early fall 3 years ago, but I couldn't see the inside because there were no seats, so I regretted it and tried again this time. I succeeded! It was a semi-outdoor seat with a terrace? But thanks to the kotatsu, it was warmer than I thought. I recently learned about kotatsu, one of the Japanese heating cultures, and I was happy to experience it right away. The Mizuno president himself recommended that the outdoor seats be nice because it would be warm because it was a kotatsu👍 There are two wooden attics inside, so Mizuno Cinetree House is a real fairytale-like space! This is a real outdoor cabin, but it's also great for an indoor date. The drip coffee and onigiri that he personally made for you are a must! You have to eat it🍙🍘 - - 📍Mizuno Cinetree House 🧭49-5 Daedong 1-gil, Mangyeong-eup, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do ⏰️12:00-18:00 (Regularly closed every Tuesday and Wednesday) #Winter travel#Gimje#Gimje cafe#Mizuno Cinetree House

If you go in the summer, the European hydrangeas and zinnias are pretty, and if you go in the fall, the pink muhly blooms. The cafe itself has a large garden and a fairly large flower garden, and it was very well managed so that you could see pretty flowers in every season. In particular, the European hydrangeas were so pretty during the day and at night because they felt like a flower path was spreading out from the entrance of the cafe. The cafe has a pretty exterior and even has a stepping stone photo zone, so it's a great place to go for an outing! Right now, there are 3 large trees installed outdoors, so it's full of the end-of-year atmosphere, so it's perfect for a Gimje travel course♥️ - - 📍Gimje Today Here 🧭50 Sangsa-gil, Geumgu-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do (Across from Moda Outlet) ⏰️10:00-21:30 #Flower viewing#European hydrangeas#Gimje cafe#Garden cafe

#Christmas Cafe “Today Here” located near Jeonju As it is a large cafe, there are plenty of seats and many places to look around. In particular, there are many photo zones, so I took a lot of pictures! I ordered a green tangerine ade, and the drink was delicious, and the cake was delicious! Above all, the lights on the tree turn on a little after sunset, and it was really pretty:)

#Christmas There are so many places that are serious about Christmas these days, and this is one of them! It's a large cafe called "Here Today" It's located in Gimje, and as it's a large cafe, the seats are spacious There are a lot of bakery products, and the photo zone is completely filled, so I came here without realizing how much time had passed:)

📍Kimje Mizuno's Treehouse This is a Kimje cafe run by Japanese Mr. Mizuo who lives with Koreans! He made it from zelkova trees in the neighborhood, and it started as a playground for children and is now a cafe. It was a special cafe with a unique visual that you can take a million pictures of. ㅎㅎ #Kimje #Jeolla-do travel

📍Neulsup Cafe: 30-8 Cheongdo 4-gil, Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do If you go when the autumn leaves are changing color, you can see beautifully colored maple trees all over the Neulsup~ The cafe is set up like a botanical garden everywhere, so everyone walks around while getting drinks in takeout cups! There are also several buildings, and one of them is a greenhouse botanical garden :) Each space is pretty, so if you have a chance to go near Jeonju, visit this cafe once ㅎㅎ #Let's go on a trip#Hot place#Couples#Date course#Cafe recommendation#Gourmet tour#Safe travel#City travel#Cafe#Life shot spot#Fall foliage trip#Fall foliage spot#Greenhouse cafe#Botanical garden#Jeonju#Gimje#Emotional cafe

📍Mizuno's Tree House: 49-5 Daedong 1-gil, Mangyeong-eup, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do I usually like unique and fun things, so I really like going to unique places! And I found this cafe and it was such a fun place that I took all my friends there ㅎㅎ When I actually went there, I thought, "Huh? There's only a cabin, so where's the cafe?",, If you go inside the cabin and go around the bend, you'll find a cozy cafe! The owner couple built all the cabins and buildings themselves, so it's not an ordinary cafe! It's such a unique and fun structure, so I recommend visiting at least once 👍 I took a picture of the cute puppy Kkomul when I left last time 🐶 #HotPlace #CoupleTogether #CafeRecommendation #RestaurantExploration #SummerCapture #DateCourse #JeonjuTravel #GimjeCafe #GimjeTravel #UniqueCafe #UniqueDate

#Drive Course In the fall, enjoy the autumn foliage around Geumsansa Temple while driving for about 2 hours. A course where you can enjoy the autumn foliage just by driving for parents who have difficulty walking. In the spring, you can also enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Location: 49-5 Daedong 1-gil, Mangyeong-eup, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do Price: Mizuno Coffee 7,000 won / Yaki Onigiri (2) 7,000 won Information: Open 12:00~18:00 / Closed every Tuesday / Parking available Mr. Mizuno, a Japanese, was fascinated by the charm of Hanok after coming to Korea and built a house to live in with his family, which became a hot topic and is now operated as a cafe. There are many hidden spaces in the cafe, and there is also an attic, which makes you feel like you have entered a fairy tale and become a child again. It may not be as green as the picture now, but it is still quite spacious and has a lot to see, so it will be a travel destination you will not regret. #GimjeTravel #HotPlace #CafeRecommendation #TreeHouse #MizunoCityTreeHouse #PlacesToVisitInGimje #GimjeCafe #GimjeDate #UniqueCafe

- Location: Moak-gil, Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do - Cultural property viewing fee: Adults: 3,000 won/Children: 1,000 won - Geumsansa Temple, famous for its autumn foliage, is filled with tourists in the fall. There is a three-story wooden pagoda, Mireukjeon, built in 766. The elegant architectural style and balanced pillars look stable. There is a stone statue of Mireuk Yeorae, a nationally registered cultural property, inside the temple, but photography is prohibited. The sarira pagoda of Geumsansa Temple Five-story Stone Pagoda, Treasure No. 25, is also well preserved. The old temple has faded in color with the passage of time. Its appearance matches well with the dreary winter season.

This is a cafe located in Gimje, a quiet city in the wide Honam Plain next to Jeonju^^ I tasted delicious hazelnut coffee and black sesame cake ㅎㅎ By the way, they give you cookies as a basic service here. Location: 112 Yochon-gil, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do ⭐️Pets allowed 🌿A quiet and spacious cafe with a natural feel

#summervacay Checked out Geumsansa Temple in Gimje, and it was such a peaceful little adventure. The temple’s got this super calm energy, surrounded by trees and mountains that make you just wanna slow down and breathe it all in. The buildings are beautiful, especially the main hall with the big golden Buddha. It felt both grand and totally down-to-earth at the same time. There’s history here, but it doesn’t feel heavy or overwhelming. Just super chill and kinda magical in its own quiet way. The paths around the temple are easy to walk and perfect for wandering without a plan. I saw a few monks walking around, and the sound of the wooden temple bells in the breeze? Instant calm. Geumsansa isn’t flashy or crowded, which made it even better. If you're into peaceful vibes, pretty architecture, and a dose of Korean history without the stress, this is your spot. Bring comfy shoes and let the place work its quiet magic.

#summervacay Went to Moaksan not really knowing what to expect, just heard Geumsansa was cool. Turns out, it’s really cool. Like, “wow this place feels ancient and peaceful and I should probably whisper” kind of cool. The temple is tucked right at the base of the mountain, and it's gorgeous. Gold Buddha, detailed rooftops, trees everywhere, it’s a whole vibe. After wandering around the temple grounds (and pretending I was calm and wise), I started the hike up Moaksan. It’s not crazy steep, but it’s enough to get the heart going. The trail’s forested and chill, with little workout stops and a bunch of shaded spots for water/snack breaks. The views at the top? Legit. You can see the whole valley and it’s just super calm up there. Like the temple energy follows you up the mountain. 10/10 would recommend for a slower, more mindful kind of hike. Start with the temple, hike it out, breathe deep, feel like a mountain monk for the day.

#AustraliaFlightEvent DetailedLocation: 340-1 Daeseok-ri, Seongdeok-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do I visited the 'Haehak Leegiseonsaeng Birthplace' located in Gimje-si. The flowers were blooming beautifully in front. I was able to see the inside and I was able to learn a lot from the explanation, which was nice.
