When to go

There is no weekly closing day here — you can come any day of the week.

Counting foreign visitors to Damyang-gun, Jeonnam over twelve weeks, Wednesday is the quietest day you can actually go and Thursday the busiest — a difference of about 33%. These are district-wide figures rather than a headcount at the gate, so treat them as a tendency.

Opening hours are 09:00 to 19:00. March-October: (Last admission 18:00) November-February: 09:00-18:00 (Last admission 17:30). Tour groups tend to arrive mid-morning and again after lunch; the first hour after opening is normally the quietest stretch of any day.

What it costs, and what to bring

Adult admission is ₩3,000 — Individuals: Adults 3,000 won · Teenagers 1,500 won · Children 1,000 won Groups: Adults 2,400 won · Teenagers 1,000 won…. By the standards of most countries this is very cheap, and it is charged at the gate rather than online, so there is no need to book ahead.

Cards are accepted. Foreign Visa and Mastercard work almost everywhere in Korea, and contactless is normal.

English signage is partial — enough to find your way, not enough to explain what you are looking at. The Korean name above is worth showing to a taxi driver or a passer-by; it works better than pronouncing it.

Getting there

There is no subway station close by. A taxi or an intercity bus is usually the way in — show the Korean name above to the driver.
