Hotels near Nami Island
1 Namiseom-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea
Nami Island is a small crescent-shaped island in the Bukhan River, reached by a five-minute ferry or a zipline from Gapyeong Wharf. It became famous across Asia as a filming location for the 2002 drama Winter Sonata, and its tree-lined avenues of ginkgo, maple, pine and tall metasequoia are among the most photographed autumn scenes in Korea.
Colour usually peaks from late October into early November, when the ginkgo lanes carpet the paths in yellow. The island has bike hire, cafés and small galleries, and it gets very busy at weekends. An entry ticket includes the ferry, and the zipline is an extra.
The Garden of Morning Calm, a large arboretum about 30 minutes away, is famous for its autumn maples and makes a good pairing.
Pro Tip: Take an early weekday ITX train, catch one of the first ferries, and walk the metasequoia lane before 10:00, when day-tour buses arrive. Reserve ITX seats in advance at peak season.
