When a new year begins,
we always promise ourselves to do better.
To be more diligent. To be healthier. To do more.
But perhaps what we truly need is not to “add more,”
but to take time to clear away
the thoughts and fatigue that are constantly in our minds.
Incheon Tour, instead of rushing from one attraction to another,
invites you to take a pause and simply rest while you travel.
✔️ Total duration: Approx. 5–6 hours
✔️ Transportation: Driving + light walking
✔️ Recommended for: Solo travel, New Year’s trips, healing & wellness journeys
Let go with every step in nature
Begin your journey with a relaxing walk
through crisp air filled with the scent of nature.
Selected as one of Incheon’s wellness destinations,
the Healing Forest at the foot of Manisan Mountain
features gently sloped wooden deck trails,
making it accessible and enjoyable for visitors of all ages.
Speak less and focus solely on your breathing as you walk,
and you will find your once-cluttered thoughts
gradually settling into clarity.
If you wish to restore both body and mind in nature,
we highly recommend joining the forest experience program,
offered on weekends.

A space to clear your thoughts and rediscover yourself
After lightening your heart with a walk through the forest,
it’s time to clear your mind as well.
Seejum Bookstore is an independent bookstore
nestled in a quiet corner of a village on Ganghwa Island,
offering a peaceful space where anyone can sit and read freely.
You don’t have to finish an entire book.
Simply flipping through a few pages
or gazing out the window
can become a moment of true rest.
The bookstore also offers a 1-night, 2-day book stay program,
ideal for those who wish to slow their journey down even further.
Enjoy true tranquility to gather your thoughts
On a wellness journey,
a temple is a place you simply cannot miss.
Jeondeungsa is one of the oldest temples on Ganghwa Island
and is widely known as a renowned temple-stay destination.
As you follow the forest path and climb the steps toward the Main Hall,
see the thoughts that have accumulated over the past year
begin to gently settle.
Walk through the serene temple grounds
and create a space within yourself
to be filled with new intentions for the year ahead.
A place to prepare for a new beginning
Conclude your journey of letting go and clearing space
at the serene shores of Dongmak Beach.
Take a slow walk along the wide stretch of sand,
or simply gaze at the waves rolling in —
either is enough to gently bring the day to a peaceful close.
As you listen to the sound of the surf,
pause and reflect on the mindset you wish to carry into the year ahead.
In that moment, it can become a gift in itself.
