On December 17, 2025, the second day of the trip followed this route: Baramkkot Haenyeo Village Naksan Branch, Naksansa Temple, Goseong Unification Observatory (Goseong Unification Observation Tower), the DMZ Museum, Delpino The Ambrosia, and Naerincheon Service Area.
Baramkkot Haenyeo Village Naksan Branch and Naksansa Temple were not my first visits in 2025.
Baramkkot Haenyeo Village Naksan Branch
At “Baramkkot Haenyeo Village Naksan Branch,” the prices of the dishes ordered were as follows: abalone stone pot bibimbap 18,000 KRW, abalone spicy soft tofu stew 15,000 KRW, oyster soft tofu stew 14,000 KRW, perilla seed seaweed soup 13,000 KRW, squid sundae 16,000 KRW, and a bowl of steamed rice 1,000 KRW.
I think the prices are generally expensive. In particular, squid sundae costing 16,000 KRW feels quite pricey.
Still, if I were to eat near Naksansa Temple, this is the restaurant I would choose.
The street address is 3029-3 Donghae-daero, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea.
Naksansa Temple
The parking fee at Naksan Uisangdae Parking Lot is 5,000 KRW. This parking lot is located right in front of the entrance to Naksansa Temple. It is also the place you can drive up to by car as close to the temple as possible.
It was raining, so I toured Naksansa Temple in the rain.
Let’s take a look at the indoor exhibition as well.
Goseong Unification Observatory (Goseong Unification Observation Tower), DMZ Museum
To visit the Goseong Unification Observatory, you must submit an entry report. First, you need to go to the Unification Observatory Entry Reporting Office. You can register as a visitor through an app and pay the admission fee and parking fee on site. Then, at the Security Education Center next to the reporting office, you are required to watch a security education video. However, there was no one checking whether the video was actually watched. After the video ends, you can proceed to the Unification Observatory.
The admission fee for the Goseong Unification Observatory is 3,000 KRW, and the parking fee is 5,000 KRW.
You can stop by the DMZ Museum on the way out after visiting the Unification Observatory. Admission is free. It is well done.
Delpino The Ambrosia
The street address of “Delpino The Ambrosia” is 10F, Sono Felice Delpino EAST, 1153 Misiryeong Yet-gil, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea.
I ordered a lemonade, which cost 12,000 KRW. I did not find it particularly delicious. The drinks are expensive, but it is a great place to take photos with Ulsanbawi Rock in the background. It is one of the best viewpoint cafés for Ulsanbawi.
Naerincheon Service Area
I ate yubu udon at the Naerincheon Service Area on the way toward Seoul. The broth was bland for my taste. Still, the price was satisfactory.
