Overlooking the East Sea, Naksansa Temple is a serene coastal temple with over 1,300 years of history. Famous for its peaceful atmosphere, scenic ocean views, and the towering Haesugwaneumsang (Goddess of Mercy statue), it's a perfect place to relax, reflect, and enjoy Korea’s spiritual heritage.

Fans of BTS will recognize this beloved seaside bus stop from their album cover and the “Spring Day” music video. Originally the backdrop for a 2017 photoshoot, the local government reconstructed the stop in 2018, adding purple benches, member standees, and photo zones to recreate the iconic scene

[TOUR A/ TOUR B]
This is the iconic spot where Ji Eun-tak first meets Kim Shin (the Goblin) while holding a birthday cake. The long stone breakwater and the ocean backdrop have become a must-visit romantic photo spot.

Stop 4

[TOUR B]
Nestled high in the Taebaek Mountains, this charming sheep ranch invites you to stroll scenic trails, feed friendly sheep, and snap photos at a rustic wooden shack. Come summer it's lush and green; in winter it's a snowy, alpine wonderland.
