2025 Wonju Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

The nearly 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Wonju, Gangwon Province, transforms into a stunning golden sphere each autumn. Known as a "living fossil," this ancient tree stands out against the red maple forest, creating an unforgettable autumn landscape. Legend has it that the tree sprouted from a monk’s staff, and locals believe a white snake lives within, so visitors are advised not to touch it. Located about 130 km east of Seoul, it’s easily reachable by both private and public transport. 📍Address: Gangwon-do, Wonju-si, Munmak-eup, Bangye-ri, 1496-1 KR #voyagevibes

If you're visiting Tongyeong with your partner, it's great to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but I also recommend stopping by the Park Kyung-ri Memorial Hall to enrich your cultural and literary knowledge together.

It offers a meaningful experience as you can trace her footsteps and legacy. 📚 📌Location: 173, Sanyangjungang-ro, Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam

Introducing Museum San located in Wonju. Gangwon-do is very easy to get to from Seoul and is much closer, but Wonju is somewhat neglected compared to the famous tourist destinations in Gangwon-do. Museum San is one of the big reasons to visit Wonju. Designed by famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, ​​this place, which BTS RM also visited, is a work of art in itself. This place, which has various themes, shows new and surprising things every time you walk along the road. In particular, the birch forest was amazing, and the various sculptures that blend in with nature were also very cool. The works in the main building of the museum are also amazing, and you shouldn't miss Nam June Paik's works. It's also great to enjoy delicious coffee at the cafe located in the main building while taking in the scenery. It's best to travel by car. Come to Wonju Museum San and have a great experience.

#Heart-pounding summer vacation Wonju ✨️Gamaksan✨️ is a mountain located on the border between Bongyang-eup, Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do and Sinrim-myeon, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do (altitude: 886m). It spans Myeongam-ri, Bongyang-eup and Hwangdun-ri, Sinrim-myeon, Wonju-si. There was Gamaksanseong Fortress, and unlike other mountain fortresses in Jecheon, this mountain fortress does not have a river. It extends from Chiaksan Mountain to the north and connects to Seokgiamsan Mountain to the south. The Jungang Expressway and National Road No. 5 pass through the west side of the mountain. Just below the peak is Baekryeonsa Temple, founded by Master Uisang in 662 (the second year of King Munmu of Silla), and behind the temple are two rocks called Dongja Rock and Seonnyeo Rock. It is a mountain where you can drive to the temple near the peak. If you drive to the peak, you can climb to the peak in 30 to 40 minutes. 🎯Gangwon Wonju-si Shillim-myeon Hwangdun-ri San 35 #Gamaksan #Wonju #Wonju travel #Wonju hiking

I visited the Park Kyung-ni Literature Museum in Wonju, Gangwon-do. It is a literature park that invites you to the yard where the former home of Park Kyung-ni, a representative writer of the Republic of Korea, and a statue of the writer are located. I walked leisurely along the walking paths named Pyeongsa-ri Madang, Hongi-dongsan, and Yongdurebeol. Corn and peppers were growing on the ground, as if waiting for the hands of a forgotten owner. The "Park Kyung-ni Literature House" and book cafe, where you can learn about the life of Park Kyung-ni, are filled with the writer's handwritten writings and books. Come to the Park Kyung-ni Literature Museum for a vacation to rest your heavy heart during the hot summer. The Park Kyung-ni Literature Park is free of charge. Nearby are the Wonju Sogeumgang Swinging Bridge and Skywalk, and the Sogeumgang Grand Valley where you can enjoy the spectacular view of Sogeumgang. Address of the Park Kyung-ni Literature Museum: Toji 1-gil, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do #Free Accommodation Event

Its a must see if you visit Wonju. Surprised, The new suspension bridge that is 2 kms right after the blue bridge, following the path extension. It was a unique experience! The view is breathtaking in both bridges! Be prepared to to climb hundreds of steps to reach the first bridge, but it's worth every step to get there! Suggesting arranging to have at least 4 hours to spend for the whole walk. The whole area is still under renovation. They are building a cable car, which eventually make things much more easy. #mytripvlog #breathtaking #mountainview #nature

#ForeignVibes I'm going to Wonju for fun! My friend, who always called Wonju a boring city, was proven wrong when they took me to a cafe that was absolutely lovely and beautiful. It's a brand new cafe that hasn't even posted 100 pictures on their feed yet, so it's a super fresh and trendy spot. The owner's touch is evident in every corner of the cafe, and there are even vintage props that are so pretty they'll make your eyes spin. And don't even get me started on how delicious the brunch was, it was packed with so much goodness. If you have any plans to travel to Wonju, be sure to stop by Yongso Makseungdang! ☕️ YoonA's Homemaking 📍 1st Floor, 88 Seongnam-ro, Shinlim-myeon, Wonju-si 🕰️ 10:30-19:00 (closed every other Wednesday) 🚘 Parking available

I went to Museum SAN in Wonju, a place I've always wanted to visit❤️ A vertically long museum designed by architect Tadao Ando. The water and concrete in the midst of the rich nature are impressive✨ But it was frozen💦 It seems that it snowed the day before, so there was snow in the stone garden⛄ But it was nice to see so much snow, too😊 The museum also has a paper gallery of the paper company Hansol, which displays the paper-making process and works✨ There is also an exhibition of James Tarla, which costs extra, but it was a strange experience of light and space... like being in a dream (no photography allowed) There is also a cafe in the museum, so it was nice to have a leisurely cup of tea in front of the spreading nature☺️ 📍 999-13, Wolsong-ri, Jijeongjeong, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do (강원도 원주시 지정면 월송리 999-13) [Road name address] 260, Oak Valley 2-gil, Jijeongjeong, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do (260, Okkuri 2-gil, Gangwon-do) Closed on Mondays, January 1st, and the day of Chuseok (Lunar New Year) #Overseas travel #Gangwon-do #Korea travel #Art museum

Let me introduce you to a cafe where you can take a great photo with Shasta daisies in full bloom. It was a great place to take photos because it had a variety of flower fields with fresh and artificial flowers, pretty outdoor seats, and a photo zone. The famous lavender photo zone is artificial, but it looks great in photos👀 Shasta daisies were so pretty because they had a space with a canopy and a space that felt like emotional camping in the fresh flower field. The artificial flowers were also beautifully arranged, so I think the best thing about this place is that you can take a great photo anytime on a sunny day☺️ It was in full bloom around the end of May, so save it and go🤍💛 ⏰ Every day 11:00 - 21:00 🚗 426 Hwanggol-ro, Socho-myeon, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do 📍 This photo was taken on 2021.05.30, and the daisies were in full bloom. 📍 You can write your name on the table next to the counter and rent a bouquet. There is a mini studio space next to it that anyone can use, and you can also rent props, so it's really great for taking photos. 📍 Please give your drinks in a cute basket. Thanks to this, you can take pictures with a picnic feel. #CafeRecommendation #HotPlace #CafeRecommendation #ShastaDaisy

A short trip to Wonju. Although i base in Seoul for my South Korea Autumn trip , almost everyday I went out to some small city to enjoy natural beauty of South Korea . Just 90 mins bus ride away Seoul and packed with beautiful nature and beautiful small town - Wonju. I am obsessed with all famous suspension bridge where famous Korea drama movie place ( It’s ok not to be ok ) and that is the longest suspension bridge in South Korea connected between two Rocky Mountains in Sogeumsan Valley. Such a beautiful place to chill and relax yourself with Mother Nature, and good exercise for the person who like hiking as well. The scenery are breathtaking and so lovely. Just bought bus ticket from Seoul to wonju at Seoul bus terminal ( 8100 🇰🇷 won= 8 sgd ) and very comfortable ride . And from opposite bus terminal can take bus to Sogeumsan valley and it took about one hours plus, with less then 2 sgd . Hope you all enjoy the bridge like me !! #naturelover #solotravel #bridgeswithaview

👉🏻 Everyone who booked the same time slot at Ganhyeon Station will get on the train together, get off at the next station, and ride the rail bike to depart. ⚠️ If you get off early, you can ride the one in front, but if you're late, you'll have to wait until everyone in front of you has departed and keep your distance from the one in front, so it'll take a little longer to wait. After boarding, stand on the left side of the exit and get off first to get off quickly (Be careful not to get hurt, so be safe.) ⚠️ If you want to go slowly and leisurely, it's better to ride the bike in the back. It's different for everyone, but every time I've been, everyone in the front has gone fast. 👉🏻 There is a parking lot, but it's narrow, so everyone parks in front of the parking lot and on the side of the road. ✨ It's great to go with family or a lover, enjoy the natural scenery, and feel the breeze. You get to talk to each other a lot!! I really enjoyed it ✨ It was a rail bike, so I pedaled hard, but it was a fun experience. There were tunnels here and there, and there were sections where lights came out and there were sounds, and the mountains were so pretty Gangwon Wonju-si Jijeong-myeon Ganhyeon-ro 163 Wonju Rail Park #Wonju #Rail Bike #Wonju Travel #Wind #Unique Date #Travel

I visited a cafe in Wonju with my mom before winter ended and before school started!! It's a cafe that's really popular on Instagram and that my friends recommended, Stone Creek. It's located in Jijeong-myeon, and it's like a glacier in Northern Europe...? and they even do ice climbing there. First of all, it's amazing that I can see such a sight in Korea, not abroad, and I was satisfied because the outdoor seating is really wide and it's a perfect cafe to go on a nice day. However, the price is... 🥵 Americano was around 6-7 thousand won, and other sweet drinks were 7-8 thousand won. Address: ✔️1101 Jijeong-ro, Jijeong-myeon, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do ✔️Parking available ✔️10:30-19:00 (every day) It's spring now, so the ice is melting, so go there soon and make some good memories!!
