From Seoul: DMZ Tour with Expert Guide

With a heart that awaits unification
Imjingak Peace Nuri Park

Imjingak is a place dedicated to the hope of reconciliation and unification between South and North Korea. A premier peace tourism site in South Korea, it displays a train that once connected the peninsula’s northernmost reaches before Korea’s division. As one of the closest points to North Korea, it draws separated families and defectors during holidays or special occasions to ease their longing.

Home to the U.S. military monument, where the pain of war remains vivid, Imjingak has transformed into a multifaceted destination with Korean War exhibits, amusement areas, and a peace gondola. A flagship stop on the DMZ tour, it embodies a wish for peace rising above past pain.
 

The Korean War is not over yet

In this tour, you can explore a path 265 meters into the Third Infiltration Tunnel. Dug by North Korea for a surprise infiltration of the South, it allows you to witness its stark conditions—temperature and humidity—and sense the strained ties between the two Koreas. Designed to move 30,000 troops per hour, it feels profoundly threatening.

Rest assured, three concrete barriers now block any further invasion routes from the North.

North Korea, A Land Close Yet Far, Seen Firsthand

Just steps from the Third Tunnel lies Dorasan Observatory. It stands as a key unification and security tourism site at the northernmost point of the Western Front Military Demarcation Line.

Equipped with dozens of telescopes, it provides clear views of North Korea’s Kaesong City, Songaksan Mountain, and landmarks familiar to many, like the Kaesong Industrial Complex and Kim Il-sung statue. Witness North Korea firsthand, beyond what you’ve seen in the media.
