Bijarim Forest on Jeju Island offers you a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Home to around 2,800 nutmeg trees (Torreya nucifera), many of which are between 500 and 800 years old, you will find it considered one of the largest and oldest single-species forests in the world. The shaded walking paths and calm atmosphere make it a pleasant place for you to enjoy a quiet stroll. With its ancient trees and cool, clean air, Bijarim is a relaxing stop for you when looking to enjoy Jeju’s natural scenery at a slower, more thoughtful pace.
