[2025 Jeju Attraction] Travel guide for Bijarim Forest (updated Dec)

In the Jeju dialect, got means forest and jawal means bush. Together, gotjawal signifies the diverse plants that grow atop land formed following a volcanic eruption. Bijarim, a Jeju gotjawal, is home to 2,900 nutmeg trees ranging from 500 to 800 years old. The entire forest has been designated as a natural monument. Two walking courses, one shorter and one longer, comprise the Bijarim Exploration Course over volcanic ash and clay that is easy to walk on. On either course, visitors will pass the New Millennium Nutmeg Tree that is over 800 years old and two entwined trees called the Love Nutmeg. Visit on a rainy day for even more picturesque scenery

📍Jeju Glencoe 1202 Bijarim-ro ▪️I was disappointed that there weren't any flowers in Jeju during August, but Glencoe was holding a festival called the "Summer Hydrangea Festival." ㅎㅎㅎ ▪️The hydrangeas were literally everywhere, and it felt like a picnic, so it was wonderful. ㅜㅠ ▪️The hydrangeas were so endless, I felt completely immersed in the flowers. ㅎㅎ ▪️The entrance fee to Jeju in the summer is 4,000 won, so I highly recommend it. ㅎㅎㅎ #JejuTravel

#HydrangeaFestival 📍BijarimFrontRoad Before entering Bijarim, the hydrangeas on the road in front are so pretty! This side has a sky-blue hydrangea field, and it was the most abundant and pretty! 📍Cafe Gamtanam I came across a hydrangea field while looking at tangerines,,.*_* Gamtanam with pretty purple hydrangeas! 📍Jongdalri Hydrangea Road The best driving course!!! Hydrangea fields are spread out on both sides of the road, and it was a road that was pleasing to the eye! There were various sky-blue and white colors! In fact, you can easily see hydrangeas in Jeju even if you don't go anywhere! If you want to find a tall hydrangea field that reaches up to your head, I recommend Bijarim and Honinji!

When the sky becomes gloomy due to the drizzling rain and the emerald sea loses its color, I recommend Bijarim🌳. The smell of moist soil rising warmly after being hit by the rain and the sight of sunlight shining down through the densely packed trees, only shining brightly in some places, is indescribably fantastic. Should I say that only the part where the sunlight 🌞 touched felt wonderful? It was a hot, humid, and damp summer day, but Bijarim was cool and I was able to feel nature for the first time in a long time. 🌳 If you don't have a good place to go in Jeju Island on a rainy day, how about Bijarim? #vacation #jejuislandtravel #jejuisland #jejuislandhotplace #intheforest #forest #rainyday #withnature #summercapture #jejuislandtravel

#TravelItinerary ♿️ Barrier-Free Healing Itinerary for Everyone (The Flatness of the Songi Trail) Bizarim is a barrier-free healing destination, accessible to families with strollers, wheelchair users, and even the elderly with knee problems. One of Bijarim's greatest strengths is that most of the trail is covered in red pine cones (volcanic ash). This pine cone path is dust-free and cushioned, making it easy on the knees. The short A Course is particularly flat and steps-free, making it easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. We visited with our elderly parents this time, and they were delighted to be able to walk through the forest without the tiring effort of a typical hiking trail. The path to the "Millennium Zelkova Tree" is also well-maintained and flat, allowing for easy exploration. However, some sections of Course B are paved with stones, so we recommend checking the course map in advance and focusing on Course A. The forest entrance is conveniently equipped with spacious and accessible restrooms and parking. Bijarim was a true "forest for all," designed to allow people to fully experience the beautiful forest's energy, even if they were physically or physically challenged.

'Slow Walking' Schedule Recommended by Forest Healing Experts (Health-Focused) Recently, I have been very interested in forest healing and planned a schedule to use Bijarim as a space for 'slow walking.' The cedar forest, with an average tree age of over 300 years, is imbued with strong life energy. My goal for this schedule was to 'synchronize with the forest.' First, I spent 5 minutes at the forest entrance taking deep breaths to shake off the city's air. Then, without looking at my phone clock or pedometer, I walked very slowly at a pace allowed by the forest. While walking, I focused on the sensation of my feet touching the red pine path and maintained diaphragmatic breathing, inhaling for 4 seconds and exhaling for 6 seconds. This slow walking, which lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes, provided a profound sense of calm that was incomparable to my usual brisk walking. Especially in the deepest part of Course B, I experienced hugging a tree to directly receive its energy. It was not just an act of walking but a feeling of becoming one with the trees, noticeably reducing my stress levels. For travelers who prioritize health and psychological stability, I strongly recommend trying a 'slow walking' schedule in Bijarim to harness the vitality of the forest.

🌧️ The charm of Bijarim deepens on rainy days (Enjoy the serene atmosphere) Some may avoid traveling on rainy days, but Bijarim truly shines in its unique charm when it rains. Despite the gloomy weather, I visited Bijarim with an umbrella in hand. The sound of raindrops hitting the thick leaves of the nutmeg trees, the earthy scent of the moist soil, and the intensified unique aroma of the nutmeg trees filled the forest. The rain-soaked red volcanic soil path appeared even more vibrant, and the moss on tree trunks and rocks glowed in a vivid emerald hue. The heightened saturation of the forest created a dreamy and mystical atmosphere. Thanks to the sound of the rain, the noise from other visitors was muted, making it feel as if this forest was the only place in the world. While concerns about wet shoes and clothes are understandable, the flat volcanic soil path minimizes the risk of mud splashes or slipping (though caution is needed on rocky sections). A rainy day visit to Bijarim feels like walking while listening to gentle classical music. The refreshing sensation of the moist air touching your skin offers a unique healing experience that can't be felt on other days. Be sure to bring an umbrella or raincoat and immerse yourself in the tranquil and atmospheric charm of Bijarim.

🧘♀️ Solo Meditation Trekking (The Art of Slowing Down) As a solo traveler, Bijarim provided me with the perfect space for meditation. Walking alone in the forest allowed me to focus solely on myself. To fully experience Bijarim, I chose the longer 2.2km round-trip course and intentionally walked at a slow pace. By slowing down and observing my surroundings, I noticed the intricate details of the forest that I had previously overlooked in my busy life. From tiny wildflowers whose names I didn’t know, to vines climbing tree trunks, and tree roots breaking through the ground to form unique shapes—everything felt like a work of art. Deep within the forest, I turned off my phone and jotted down my thoughts and feelings in a small notebook I had brought along. The tranquility of the forest created the perfect environment for listening to my inner voice. The red pine needle path, in particular, provided comfort to my feet throughout the walk, making it ideal for deep contemplation. My solo walk in Bijarim was not just a simple trek but a time for self-healing and recharging—a 'forest therapy' session. If your travel goal is to organize your thoughts and enjoy complete relaxation, plan your own solitary meditation schedule in Bijarim.

💖 A Romantic Trek for Couples Promising Eternal Love (Yeonriji Spot) Bijarim Forest is one of the most romantic places where couples can vow their love. Walking hand in hand along the path formed by lush Torreya trees that resemble wedding arches is a magical experience. Especially, the 'Yeonriji (Intertwined Branches)' tree located midway through Course B is a must-visit spot for couples. Seeing the two tree trunks growing together as one, we also wished for eternal love. The forest trail is serene and not crowded, allowing for quiet, intimate conversations. The subtle scent of Torreya trees in the air makes it a perfect place to capture lovely photos. Photos taken with the soft light filtering through the trees as a backdrop turn out beautifully without the need for filters. During our walk, we had a small event where we found and gifted each other little leaves or stones. We recommend completing Course B rather than the shorter Course A to share a deeper connection in the heart of the forest. The tranquility of the forest calms the mind, creating a magical space where you can focus more on each other. If you want to create unforgettable memories and take beautiful photos with your loved one, make Bijarim Forest your first destination.

#TravelItinerary 👨👩👧👦 Nature Learning Experience with Kids (Complete Course B) For families with elementary school children, Bijarim Course B (2.2km) is a wonderful nature education experience. Don't let the length of the course overwhelm you. The gentle slope, covered with red pine cones (volcanic debris), reduces the risk of falls and provides a comfortable, cushioned walk. Our family walked the Bijarim Forest trail with a "treasure hunt" theme. We explained how the fruit of the Bijarim tree comes from, why the moss is green, and the story behind the two-branched tree (yeonriji), which is a love tree. The two hours flew by without a moment of boredom. My child was particularly awed by the "Millennium Bijarim Tree" in the center of Bijarim, judging its age. There are also small benches and pavilions scattered throughout the forest, perfect for a break with a snack and a drink. Although the forest offers some protection from the sun, there may be mosquitoes and bugs, so it's recommended to bring long sleeves and bug repellent. It was also a perfect educational experience, teaching children how to protect nature without damaging the forest. Beyond simple observation, we completed a valuable family itinerary where they could experience and learn about nature with all five senses.

#TravelItinerary 📸 A Photographer's Journey Capturing Light and Shadow (Light Utilization Course) Bizarim is a hidden treasure trove for photographers. While ordinary travelers might hike for healing, my goal was to capture "light." The tunnels formed by the arching branches of the zelkova trees in Bijarim, in particular, offer the most dramatic backdrops created by natural light. I highly recommend visiting between 10 and 11 a.m., when the sunlight reaches the forest floor for the longest time. This is when the contrast between the red pine path, the green zelkova leaves, and the shadows cast on the ground is at their peak. Look for a cluster of ancient trees just off the main trail. Here, the vertical zelkova trees fill the frame, creating a majestic effect. Macro photography of the tiny creatures, like moss and ferns, growing on the tree trunks is also a delight. The "Millennium Bijarim" tree in Bijarim is so impressive in its size and majesty that it's worth trying out a composition where you place a person beneath it to capture the sense of scale. Even while circling the 2.2km B Course, I found myself setting up my tripod at a spot I liked and lost track of time, absorbed in the process. Capturing Bijarim, a perfect natural studio, in photos is a must-do on any Jeju trip.

#TravelItinerary A Phytoncide Healing Walk in the Millennium Forest (Course A Focus) Bizarim is not just a forest; it's a living, breathing history. The moment you pass the ticket booth and enter the Red Pine Tree Trail, you'll feel your mind clear from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Course A, a short trail, is perfect for travelers with limited mobility or limited time. The essence of this trail is the unique phytoncide scent emitted by the Bija tree. Unlike the refreshing cedar forest, this subtle, rich scent penetrates deep into the heart and purifies the lungs. I visited around 9 a.m., and the sunlight filtering through the leaves and illuminating the pine tree path was breathtaking. The trail is flat and well-maintained, making it easy to walk, but there are some stone paths, so flat shoes are recommended. Take a leisurely stroll along Course A, taking time to sit on a bench and close your eyes, listening to the birdsong. In the tranquility of the forest, you'll find true inner peace. Although the trail is only 1.0km long, I recommend taking a leisurely 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully absorb the forest's energy. On the way back, I enjoyed the lingering scent of the forest at a small cafe near the forest entrance, enjoying a healthy drink made with Jeju-grown bija fruit. Bijarim is the ultimate healing sanctuary, purifying both body and mind.

This is my 40th visit to Korea, and this time I came to Jeju Island alone! My goal was to see the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. First, I'd like to see the Buddha statue, the symbol of Jeju Island. These figures are scattered throughout the island, making them very cute, and various parts of the city are great photo spots. *If you're coming to Jeju Island, I recommend taking a taxi or renting a car! There are no trains! I chartered a taxi this time. Prices vary depending on the company, but I hired someone who charged 160,000 won for four hours. The price seemed a little higher because the driver spoke Japanese. I have a basic level of Korean, but I wanted to learn more about history, so I hired someone who spoke Japanese. Due to time constraints, I was taken to Halla Mountain and Pijarim (비자림). Halla Mountain is a cultural heritage site, and the scenery was beautiful. I highly recommend it. I think Pijarim is a very comfortable place for nature lovers. There were couples, but many people walking alone, so I think solo travelers can go there without worrying.

#Travel Guide Bizarim is a dense forest of zelkova trees located in the quiet eastern part of Jeju Island. It is a natural forest made up of about 2,800 old trees. Some of the trees are over 500 years old on average, and the silence and mystery felt within it are a great comfort to people tired from the city. The air in the forest is very clean and cool, and just walking around is healing. It is especially cool in the summer thanks to the shade of the forest, and warm in the winter, so it is great for walking all year round. The path is flat, so anyone of any age or gender can walk without difficulty. In this forest that has preserved its natural state, you can only hear the sounds of birds and the wind, and it is a great place for deep meditation or contemplation.
