Bijarim Forest

Bijarim Forest is located in Gujwa-eup, Jeju City, and is easily accessible from central Jeju. The forest is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with last entry typically around 5 p.m. Entrance fees are modest, around ₩3,000 for adults and ₩1,500 for children and teens. Trails stretch over 3.3 kilometers and are generally flat, making them suitable for most visitors, including families. The forest features notable spots such as the Lovers Tree and photo-friendly clearings, offering moments of reflection amid the greenery.

Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the trails are natural and sometimes uneven. Arriving earlier in the day allows for a more relaxed experience before closing hours. Respecting the environment is important; staying on marked paths and avoiding littering preserves the forest’s tranquility. Jeju’s weather can be unpredictable, so a light jacket is recommended during spring and autumn. The forest is ideal for photography, with soft morning and late afternoon light filtering through the canopy, creating striking natural scenes.

Bijarim Forest is easiest to reach by car, with a drive of about fifty minutes from Jeju City and free parking available at the entrance.
