You can take bus or drive a car from Chuncheon and it takes about 30 minutes away on the road. Since it is not so far from Seoul, many couples and families spend would like to spend their weekend by coming to visit.

A focal point of Namiseom Island that you need to highlight is that there are no telephone poles. It is because all of the electric wires were installed underground to keep the natural nuances of the landscape. The 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees around the isle makes it as one of the best place in the world to explore.
