The report highlights Japanese tourists flocking to South Korea, with 3.22 million visitors last year. The Korea Tourism Organization, in collaboration with the Japan Association of Travel Agents, curated a list of 30 must-visit scenic spots in South Korea, based on factors like accessibility and local cuisine. The destinations are divided by season and region, with summertime having the highest number of spots. Notably, the list excludes Seoul to promote regional tourism. Highlights include spring spots like Gyeongju's Daereungwon, summer attractions such as Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, and winter destinations like Pyeongchang's Daegwallyeong Ranch. The tourism efforts aim to draw Japanese visitors to lesser-known areas, balancing tourist distribution beyond Seoul and the metropolitan areas.
