Itinerary
Imjingak Park, located 7 km from the Military Demarcation Line, is now at the forefront of tourism related to the Korean War. Imjingak was built in 1972 with the hope that someday unification would be possible.
From this observatory, tourists can overlook North Korea and various locations including Gaeseong, Songaksan, Kim Il-Sung Statue, and Cooperation Farm (Geumamgol).
The 3rd Tunnel was discovered by South Korea in 1978. It spans over 1,635m in length, 2m in width, and 2m in height and is located 52km from Seoul. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 soldiers could move through the tunnel per hour.

I Love Souel
The guide explained it clearly and I was able to have a valuable experience at each famous spot. It was a very valuable time to get to know history firsthand.
DMZ Tour
It was a valuable experience to see North Korea, which I would never normally see. It was interesting and easy to understand the explanations given by the guided tour guides! Photography was prohibited in North Korea.
DMZ Half-Day Sightseeing Tour - Japanese Guide
Our guide, who is good at Japanese, explained to us attentively. From the observation decks of the Third Tunnel and the Demilitarized Zone dug by North Korea, we could feel what North Korea was like.
