From Seoul: Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival & Gangcheonseom Private Tour

Depart from Seoul
for the Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival

Meet at the Seoul pickup point at 9:30 AM and travel comfortably to Yeoju by vehicle. As a private group tour with an English- and Chinese-speaking guide, you can enjoy the day at your own pace with your group.

Stop at Yeoju Premium Outlets and Gangcheonseom

First, enjoy lunch and shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlets for about 1 hour. A food and beverage voucher (KRW 10,000) for the outlets and a reusable shopping bag are included.

Next, head to Gangcheonseom Island on the Namhangang River for about 1.5 hours of free time. Ride a free multi-person bicycle along the ginkgo-covered paths and take Polaroid photos.

Enjoy festival programs at the Silleuksa area

In the afternoon, spend about 4.5 hours at the Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival around the Silleuksa Temple tourist area. Against the backdrop of the historic ferry crossing, the festival offers rural and traditional programs such as giant cauldron bibimbap, roasted sweet potatoes, a sweet potato record challenge and a wishing path. The bibimbap experience fee is included, while dinner is at your own expense.

Cross the suspension bridge to take in views of the Namhangang River, and take an optional ride on a traditional Hwangpo sailboat.

Watch Nakhwanori light up the night sky

The highlight of the festival is Nakhwanori, a Yeoju folk fire performance. From 7:00 PM for about 20 minutes, sparks fall like a shower of flowers through hanging hanji paper. After the festival, return to Seoul, arriving around 9:30–10:00 PM.

※ Tour times and itinerary vary by tour date. On some dates (Private Package B), Nakhwanori is not included and a bicycle experience on Gangcheonseom runs from 3:30 to 5:00 PM.
※ Festival programs such as Nakhwanori and the ginkgo foliage may change depending on weather and local conditions, and viewing is not guaranteed.
