🇰🇷 My first trip to Busan! 2 nights and 3 days packed travel report ✈️
This trip was to Korea's Busan! It was my first time in Busan, and when I arrived at the airport around 2:00 PM, my first impression was, 'Compared to Incheon Airport, there seem to be slightly fewer shops.' Still, that made it more compact and easier to navigate!
From there we took a taxi to Seomyeon, which was our base this time. After arriving at the hotel and unpacking in the room for a bit, I first filled up with my favorite gimbap!
By the way, I definitely recommend staying in Seomyeon✨ It’s Busan’s busiest downtown area, so you can find anything nearby. Whether you need a place for breakfast or a convenience store, you won’t have any trouble if you stay here!
On the afternoon of day 1, I enjoyed shopping around Seomyeon at MUSINSA, Olive Young, and SPAO. After that, I popped into a casual spot and tried Busan’s famous milmyeon, which was absolutely delicious!
On day 2, we start with breakfast at a diner near the hotel.
I planned to have a light meal so I ordered a set of guksoo and steamed dumplings, and it was an amazing bargain at about ¥700 per person! The owner was so kind, and my stomach and heart were full from the morning, I felt truly happy.
After that, I took a taxi to get the acai bowl I’d been craving from YOAJUNG, and after enjoying the long-awaited flavor, I headed to the famous Haeundae beach.
I went in September, and the breeze was really cool, making it an ideal season for sightseeing. After popping into a nearby CD shop and browsing the streetfront stores, I sat on the beach and enjoyed the slow-moving time.
I also tried ice cream at Baskin Robbins in Korea for the first time, and the way they name their flavors was totally different from Japan, it was fun just to look around! At night I had amazing chicken at Kyochon Chicken near the hotel, and the second day ended with me fully satisfied.
On day 3 I visited an area called Nampo-dong.
We spent the morning hopping between cute clothing shops and enjoying shopping! The cafe I wanted to visit opened at 11, so we wandered around the area until then and went inside right at opening.
Here I had a shaved ice dessert made with a whole peach, and the ice itself was milk-based, melting in my mouth with deliciousness! The shaved ice sweets are only available in summer, so it really made me feel the season, thinking 'I'm doing something summer-like,' and reminded me how great summer trips are.
After that, we headed to another beach to enjoy the sparkling, beautiful ocean views. We spent the rest of the time eating our last meal at a nearby shopping mall and picking up a few more souvenirs.
Also, this time I went to a dermatology clinic and received a lift-up treatment called 'Tensela'. Honestly, it was pretty painful, but the results were visible immediately, and I was very satisfied with how it turned out!
My flight was in the late afternoon, so I arrived at the airport around noon. I had my last airport meal, then flew back to Japan.
Busan has a lot of tourist spots packed close together, so it’s a great place to recommend to people who are new to Korea with confidence! If you’re planning a trip to Busan, I hope this post helps you.
