9am to 12pm in the morning for [Gangwon-do Foreigner Taxi Tour - Sokcho Sokcho Nature Tour with mountains and sea]
参加させていただきました。
The courses written when applying
Setsukayama -> Sokusa Sightseeing Fisheries Market -> Sea Fragrance Walking Path -> Sokusa Beach
It was.
このコースに決めた理由は、3時間で山と海の両方に行くことができ、自然をたくさん味わえるからです。
The reason I chose this course is because I can go to both the mountains and the sea in 3 hours, and I can enjoy a lot of nature.
First, in the morning around 8:40, we arrived at the tourist information center in front of Tsukeso Expressway Terminal. It was pitch black from the outside, so we waited until 55 minutes. Then, a driver-looking person went inside, so we casually followed and went in. I had seen in other people's blogs that they 'consult and decide on the course to go around,' but we didn't have such time, so we just followed the course that was written.
The time limit for the course is 3 hours, but it seems you can extend it by 1 hour by paying ₩20,000.
記念に束草の扇子をいただきましたが、いつのまにか写真を撮られていました。笑
①Snowy Peak Mountain
58 minutes from departure, the first destination was Mount Seoraksan (Soraksan).
From the driver, 'First, we will head to Yuzawa-san, the scenery is very beautiful,'
There was nothing in particular to talk about. We continued climbing the winding mountain path.
（When asking about meeting places and time required through the tour, I used a translation app to communicate.）
Also, the taxi we were riding often waited for the customer to get off at that spot.
9:20 AM arrived at the entrance of Yukitakeyama. Asked the driver to 'please contact me when you come back.'
言われましたが、私が使用していたのが受信機能のみのeSimで発信ができないことを伝えると
'Please come back in about 1 hour,' they responded. From here on, I started asking what time I should come back before getting out of the taxi each time.
When I think about climbing up and down the mountain in 1 hour, I realize I need to hurry a little, so I walked quickly.
There was a gate at the entrance, but there was no need to buy a ticket or anything special.
5 minutes walk, and you will see the cable car boarding area. Round trip for one person is ₩15,000.
On weekdays, about 90% of the people were elderly Koreans. I watched them with a smile, thinking they were lively.
The cable car seems to depart about every 15 minutes.
Almost a five-minute one-way trip will take you up along a near-vertical cliff. Get off the cable car and walk along the promenade (climbing path?)
Walking. There were also people dressed casually, but sometimes the sidewalk was not maintained and rough
ところもあったので、歩きやすい靴の方が良いかと思います。
There were also some places, so I think it's better to wear comfortable shoes.
After walking for a while, the end came into view. The actual summit is probably in a different location, but
Reached the limit reachable by cable car. What was a little scary was that the rope was off-limits
Quite simple, some tourists were also being warned by someone who seemed to be a staff member.
After a short break, we will continue down the same path. I think we spent about 10 minutes at the summit.
The weather was not bad, and the view was quite clear.
Eventually we got back to the taxi about 1 hour + 5 minutes after the promised time...
② Sokujo Tourism Fisheries Market
When I got in a taxi, the driver asked me in English, 'Nice view?' so I answered, 'No, thank you' and laughed.
Next, we headed to Sokuso Sightseeing Fish Market. We arrived around 10:40 and were told to come back in 30-40 minutes.
Stopped by the restroom at the Toyama Fisheries Center, so didn't have much time, but
Somehow I managed to complete one lap.
It was lunchtime and I was hungry, so I bought some shrimp tempura. 8 pieces for ₩10,000.
Crunchy but not greasy, very easy to eat.
Steamed bun shop gave up lining up in a long queue. The number of shops I want to try again has increased.
Every store had amazing TV coverage for advertising, LOL
One more, the Dekopon juice produced in Jeju that many people passing by had looked delicious, so I bought one as well.
それも買って飲みました。めちゃくちゃ味が濃厚でした。
③Ocean Scented Walking Path
Arrived at the market in about 5 minutes.
This time it was said, 'It takes 3-40 minutes to walk the promenade. I'll be waiting at the goal.'
When I look up a little, I see Lotte Resort Soka Tower towering.
It's a pleasant walking path with a breeze blowing.
After walking for a while, I saw a chair that I had seen through the screen.
Korean drama 'Boyfriend' starring Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo sat on this chair.
Upon closer inspection, it said 'Chair photographed with boyfriend' under the chair.
The scene where the protagonist Jinyuk (Mr. Park Bo Gum) was working at the Sooksoo Hotel
Actual filming location. 'That chair is really there!!!!' Very excited...!
Asked the person walking ahead to take a photo and they took it nicely!
Something in target language
There were several benches like this along the walking path, so we were able to take a break and feel the scent of the sea without having to keep walking.
It was really nice weather.
④Lotte Resort Tsukisou
This hotel is also a location for 'Boyfriend', but it is not originally included in the course.
ただ、もう来る機会があるか分からないのとすぐ近くにあるということで、
Driver was asked if he could take us to the entrance, and we received an OK.
Located on top of a hill, so it's a tough distance to climb on your own, but the taxi was really appreciated...
While climbing up the hill, in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Japan's Prime Minister Abe
7 days stayed and told me.
Indeed, Sokcho and Pyeongchang are both in the same Gangwon Province, but they are not that close in distance.
それでもLotteri Resort was chosen as the accommodation, due to the good views or luxury hotels.
ということが絡んでいるからかな、なんて思ったり。
「Boyfriend」ではトンファホテルという名前で登場しました。
At the entrance, there is a distinctive human-shaped object. I had the driver take a photo there.
いつか泊まってみたい...笑
Someday I want to stay... lol
⑤ Sokcho Beach
Finally, to the last location. The tour ends here, so when you get off, it's time to say goodbye to the driver.
たしかギリギリ11時50分で3時間以内に終わったはずなのですが、
an additional ₩20,000 was requested to be paid.
As far as I can see in the translation, I thought it was a tourist tax, but it ended up taking a little longer
They took me to unexpected places, so I paid without much resistance.
There is no entrance called an entrance, but the conversation was about the PyeongChang Olympics,
オリンピックキャラクターのオブジェ前で降ろしてもらいました。
Olympic character in front of the object was dropped off.
Say goodbye to the driver here. He was quiet, but he took us to all places smoothly, so it was good. After that, we took photos with the sand sculptures, rode on the Ferris wheel Sokcho Eye to see the wonderful view, and were able to spend a relaxing time.
By the seaside, it was cool and comfortable with low temperatures, contrary to the expected humidity. It was a pleasant 3 hours.
For the first time, I participated in this tour, and even though there was little time, we visited some famous spots.
たくさん廻ることができてとても楽しかったです(^^)
It was very fun to be able to turn a lot (^ ^)
Also, I would like to participate in tours in another region.
