4 Weeks in Japan and 2 weeks in South Korea

Posted by Merry Jo Binkley on January 17, 2021 at 3:57am

Since we can't travel yet I'm doing a lot of planning. I'm mapping out 4 weeks in Japan and 2 weeks in South Korea. I'd love to hear your experiences.

What are the must do's?

What are the off the beaten track things you have done and seen?

Any places you stayed that you would recommend? 

Thank you, Merry Jo

    Hi JoAnn

    I lived in Seoul from 1972-1975 so got to both the DMZ and to Jeju Island a couple of times.

    If you haven't been to North Korea, or even if you have, you might like the DMZ tour. It has been quite a while since I went but at the time it was organized through the USO in Seoul. Don't forget that Jeju Island is a separate TCC territory if you are interested and can fit it in.
