    The Best Moment of This Trip

    #7 Yudalsan

    The Best Moment of This Trip

    I had already spent a lot of energy on Goha Island. The health stairs, walking paths, and the coastal deck were not exactly a brutal course.It would be more honest to say that my physical strength has simply declined.My body is no longer what it was when I was younger. But my travel style is […]

    The Closest Place to the Sea

    #6 Goha Island

    The Closest Place to the Sea

    The cable car that departed from the Buk-hang stationarrived at the Goha-do station about 15 minutes later. If I had lined up right away after getting off,I could have gone straight to Yudalsan,but since it was my first time on Goha Island,I wanted to look around first. Goha Island is an island located in the […]

    From Bukhang to Goha Island

My style has always been to make my own routeand walk wherever I feel like walking. Well, to be fair,I am already a middle-aged man. I heard that the Mokpo Marine […]

    The Shrine Where Japan’s Creation Myth Lives

    #2 Kirishima Jingu

    The Shrine Where Japan’s Creation Myth Lives

    This trip wasn’t meant to be for sightseeing, but there was one place I really wanted to visit — Kirishima Jingu. It’s not easy to reach by public transport. There is Kirishima Jingu Station nearby, but buses run very infrequently, and the last one leaves quite early. So I had been thinking that someday, when […]
