Bijarim Forest
A protected grove of old nutmeg-yew trees in eastern Jeju with a compact forest trail and a notably quiet, shaded atmosphere. It suits travelers who want an easy nature stop between bigger east-Jeju sights, including families and visitors who prefer a walk over a steep hike.
Checked Visit Jeju visitor information on 7 October 2026. Bijarim Forest is open year-round, with last admission at 17:00. The trail is listed as under an hour on average but of moderate difficulty, so comfortable shoes are advisable.
Why go
Come for the dense canopy and the feeling of walking through a mature island forest rather than for viewpoints. The official visitor page lists a straightforward trail setting, so it works well as a slower stop on an east-Jeju road trip. Pets are not permitted and food other than bottled water is restricted.
