Jeju Olle Trail Route 7-1@100km, Part 1 of 3

By urban farmer -

#Route7-1 #GoingExtra #Clocking124km

We have completed enough distance to get the mini 100km certificate. We also fell in love with Jeju Olle Trail and decided to revisit. Hence 437KM is our next target. 

We will probably plan to complete everything in total 3 trips. With that in mind, it makes sense for us to cover more this trip. 

We did route 7-1 immediately after we picked up our 100KM certificate. Took a bus to the start point at Seowipo Bus Terminal and trekked clockwise back to Jeju Olle Tourist center.

Route 7-1 is a 15.7km route and estimated to be done in 4-5 hours leisurely. We had a heavy breakfast with the intention to skip the mid day lunch and complete the route by 2 or 3pm.

#JungsanganVillage #EongttopokpoWaterfall #GoeunsanMountain

After walking past the Jungsangan village and the Eongttopokpo waterfall, we were greeted by the Goeunsan Mountain Forest path. Beautiful, scenic and therapeutic. 


At the top of Goeunsan Mountain, we are greeted with the paranomic view of Seowipo & the coast.


#Tangerines #GiftsOfLove

Going down slope and we were greeted with more tangerines, both plantations and just homes with lots of orange lanterns. 

Was gifted 5 huge freshly harvested tangerines by a friendly Korean ajumma. We had to stop her from snipping more tangerines from the trees and passing them to us. She was so friendly. Out of respect, we will not post her photo, just her fruits. They were so good.

Trekked and very soon we reached the Bongnimsa temple and Hanon craters visitor center. 




Very soon, we came to the end of the route, Jeju Olle Tourist Center.

#Chill&Relax #WrappedUp #R&RStarts

Chill and relax at the Jeju Olle Tourist Center. This trip we stayed at a hotel nearby ( there are many around). Given a choice again, we will opt to stay at Olle Stay. It is centrally located and just across the street from the tourist center.


It is a wrapped and this concluded our part 1 to Jeju Olle Trail. Now our time to relax. Will be back.

Our Eco Lodge

By urban farmer -

The Rational #whydothis The first step towards sustainability is really about acquiring less.  We seek to reuse as much as we can, whatever that is already onsite. Recycle and reuse required lots of planning and coordination on the planner/builder part. The person needs to really think out of the box too. It is always easier and less work to just outsource, pay someone to just bulldoze the whole place, throw away all the old,  acquire new and restart. But let’s walk the talk. Being eco friendly starts from OWN. Do the little thing right. This lodge that we have built uses at least 80% of recycled materials. Things that are brand new are mostly for structural building, due to safety concerns.  Sharing Our Thoughts These are some  up-cycling  little tricks we did. We will expand and add the details for each item Monthly.  Stay tune! #Infrastructure #lookgoodpart  #Plantingessentials #usuallyneglectedpart Tricks #1: Recycled bottles as support for gutter...

We came, however with 3 objectives in mind, to explore the Nunobiki herbs garden, explore the Kobe city on foot and finally to have a taste of the kobe beef.  This article focus mainly on the edibles. From Osaka, take a train to Sannomiya Station in Kobe. The journey is about 1hr. There are clear signages leading to the garden. Take the rope ride all the way up to the top station, No. 5 on map, explore and trek downwards is what typically recommended to visitors. #HerbsKiosk #AtTheTop #PrettyView Upon alighting, you will be greeted with beautiful garden of herbs kiosks as well as stunning view of the surrounding.

Japan Kansai & Kanto Regions Note: The views in this blog is purely the impression and views of the author, Wan Ying. Others views may varies. No part of the write-ups from this site can be reused in any way without written permission from the blog writer. The first trip to be documented for this travelblog series is for Japan! This is the itinerary.  15 days total. We did more R&R at the start due to some last min planning challenges. This typically will be after all the heavy lifting. Conclusion, we still prefer R&R at the end. Next round, we will stick to that. These are the areas we visited this round. We landed in Tokyo Narita airport. Visited Chiba prefecture for the eco run & cultural exchange ( part 1). Next, travel by bullet train to Osaka. Be a tourist at Osaka and kobe (Part 2) went on to trek in Nara prefecture (Part 3). Finished off our tour in Kyoto then back home through Narita airport. **beautiful japan region picture from https://www.kyuhoshi.c...
