DMZ Tour from Seoul: Explore with a Professional Guide

With a heart that awaits unification
Imjingak Peace Nuri Park

Imjingak is a space created with the hope of reconciliation and unification between North and South Korea. As a representative peace tourism site in South Korea, a train that ran to the northernmost part of the Korean peninsula before the two Koreas were divided is on display here, and as it is one of the regions in South Korea closest to North Korea, it is also a place where separated families and settlers who miss their families visit during holidays and anniversaries to soothe their longing.

Imjingak, where you can still feel the vivid pain of war with the U.S. military participation monument and other war memorials and war relics, has been transformed into a complex tourist facility with exhibition halls related to the Korean War, amusement facilities, and a peace gondola. It is a representative attraction of the DMZ tour, which means adding a wish for peace on top of the pain.

The Korean War is not over yet

On the tour, you can experience a course that goes 265m deep into the Third Tunnel. It is a tunnel that North Korea actually dug to carry out a surprise attack to infiltrate South Korea. You can see it for yourself and feel the temperature and humidity of the tunnel, which gives you an idea of the cold relationship between the two Koreas. It is said that it was built to be able to move 30,000 troops per hour, which makes it feel even more threatening.

Don't worry, we have currently installed three concrete walls in the North Korean direction to block any further invasion routes!

North Korea, a close but distant country seen with your own eyes

Near the 3rd Tunnel is the Dorasan Observatory. The Dorasan Observatory is located at the northernmost point of the Military Demarcation Line on the Western Front and has the title of a unification security tourism site.

This observatory, which has dozens of telescopes installed, offers a clear view of North Korea's Kaesong City and Songaksan Mountain, including the Kaesong Industrial Complex and the statue of Kim Il-sung, which we are familiar with. It will be an experience of witnessing with your own eyes the North Korea that you have only seen in the media.
