Reachable within 1-2 hours from Seoul, they're perfect even for travelers with tight schedules. Wonju offers majestic natural views around Mount Chiaksan alongside Guryongsa Temple, a historic sanctuary with 1,500 years of history, making it a popular destination even among Koreans. Cheorwon is famous for the breathtaking Hantangang River Columnar Jointing Trail, designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark. If time permits, we recommend visiting the DMZ, the world's only remaining division site. For those planning a rental car journey, we recommend using LOTTE rent-a-car's Seoul Station or Incheon Airport branches.

Service desks are located inside both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, saving time without the need for separate shuttle buses or transfers.
