I’ve been to Naksansa Temple twice, one in the summer and once in the autumn and been beautiful both times. Lovely paths to the buildings and then out to the cliffs overlooking the sea. A must visit in Gangwondo.#추천웰니스관광지 #wellnesskorea #wellnesstourismsupporters #한국관광공사

Excellent and beautiful location in front of the ocean. The temple is very nice and pleasant. The big Buddha statue is magnificent and the views from above are unforgettable.

This temple offers some beautiful views as it is on the edge of the sea and close to the mountains. Lots to see as you walk the temple grounds. We arrived close to sunset and spent about a little over an hour seeing the sights. We could have easily spent more time, but the setting sun limited our visit. My two kids (age 8 and 5) enjoyed it and were very intrigued by the inside of the temple with all the Buddha statues. The hike around the grounds was not difficult as judged by minimum complaining by my kids :) Beautiful during sunset and wasn't too crowded. Very peaceful place with great views of the sea and the mountains.

The temple, located by the sea, was reconstructed after a fire in the mid-2000s. The temple ground is huge, and one can easily spend an afternoon strolling around. I am glad that I took a day and traveled out of the Seoul metro area and enjoyed the natural beauty of this country.

This temple boasts gorgeous views of the sea and mountains in the backdrop. If you follow the full suggested walking tour, it can take more than an hour. It makes for a quiet stroll without the busloads of tourists. Try to go on a day with clear skies or you won't get the best view/photos.

There is big parking lot outside so no worry if you're driving. Shops selling dried seafood and some eateries alongside the parking. After the gate, it's a long walk through garden. We were there with our mother who had been having problems with her knees after all the long walks from almost all attractions here in Korea. So, she preferred waiting for us at the gate. We thought we'd be back in half an hour. Despite our half walk half run and quickly paying respect to the standing buddha and rushing back to our mother, it took us over an hour !!
Sweeping bird's eye view up there was spectacular though.

Best thing I have visited in Korea, as good as the War Memorial Museum in Seoul.
Beautiful location overlooking the East Sea, well worth the uphill hike to get there. Most of the paths have ramps as well as stairs, and was achievable even by our 80-year-old family member. Plan on at least an hour to see the minimum, but can easily spend much longer and see all the sights.

Our young guide, Kay, from "This is Korea-Private Tours" told us that Naksansa Temple is a popular spot for young lovers to watch the sunrise. Korean people also come here during the New Year. It is a beautiful temple by the sea! We spent several hours walking around the paths to the temples and Buddhist statue. Many Buddhists were visiting and praying. The sounds of the chants were soothing. The paths were well kept and easy to walk to the different areas with lots of foliage and flowers along the way. We tried Korean tea drinks made from fruits and herbs. They were refreshing and served with a chewy and slightly crunchy Korean rice cake.
