Eco-Therapy to Heal Body and Mind

For those weary of the daily grind of the gray city, Jeju's forests and sea become a natural remedy. Step into Bijarim, a thousand-year-old forest, and even your soul feels cleansed. From the peaceful mid-mountain roads and a beautifully tended herb garden to coastal cliffs overlooking the vast open sea, slowing down along the way lightens a body and mind worn down by stress. In the space left behind, a clear, warm energy fills in.
