It takes at least 6 hours drive from Seoul to this village, maybe it takes too long to reach this village, so we recommended you visit other famous places along the way from Seoul for at least 2-3 days. Apart from the rice terraces, Jeonju Hanok Village, Damyang Bamboo Garden, Boseong Green Tea Plantation and Yeosu Maritime Cable car are very very popular and beautiful places to visit.
