$2 Day Trip from Busan to the MOST ICONIC Temple in Korea, Tongdosa 통도사
This is the ultimate Korea travel guide to Tongdosa 통도사 , the most iconic temple in South Korea. This day trip from Busan to Tongdosa cost us less than $2.00 and became one of my most memorable moments here in Korea. Talk about worth every penny! If you are visiting Busan, Korea then this temple is a MUST SEE!
Tongdosa is one of the largest buddhist temples in South Korea, but it is historically the most important temple, as this was the temple that helped Buddhism to become mainstream in Korea within the Silla & Goryeo time periods. Tongdosa is one of the Unesco world heritage sites and contains several of Korea's national treasures.
This temple also offers a korea temple stay program for foreigners. We didn't stay here over night, but we did still manage to try out some temple food! Tongdosa offers lunch absolutely for free to everyone who visits! ( if you make it here during meal times ) This was my first time trying out temple food and it was delicious!
Tongdosa is a Korean Buddhist temple which is located at the base of a gigantic mountain, and as you hike further up, you'll discover hidden temples that have incredibly beautiful views, and each are uniquely designed. This was actually my favorite part of the day! Korea is such a beautiful country! There are roughly 20 or so hermitages ( smaller temples ) built into the mountains. In todays video, we went to 3 of the hidden temples. 비로암 Biroam, 자장암 Jajangam, 극락암 Geukrakam. If you'd like to know how to hike to each of the temples, feel free to ask me in the comments below!
Hidden temple #1 - Geukrakam ( 극락암 ) - Geukrakam Hermitage was first founded in 1344
Hidden temple #2 - Jajangam ( 자장암 ) - Jajangam Hermitage is named after the founder of Tongdosa Temple, Jajang-yulsa and this temple predates the construction of Tongdosa Temple
Hidden temple #3 - Biroam ( 비로암 ) - Biroam Hermitage was first founded in 1345 during the Goryeo dynasty and is only 500m north of Hidden temple #1
Tongdosa temple itself was built in the year 646 AD, and much of the buildings still currently standing were built between the year 1500-1700.
That being said, the temples themselves may not feel as grand as some of the newly built ones, but these have so much more character and history.
If you decide to take a day trip to Tongdosa by public transportation, take subway line 1 to the very last station ( Nopo Station ) and from there it will cost you 2800₩ ( roughly $2.00 ) for your bus fair right to the front gates of Tongdosa
So if you're looking for things to do in Busan, then Tongdosa is the perfect addition to your korea travel itinerary because here you'll get to experience the beautiful nature surrounding Korea, as well as visit some of the historic sites where history has was made.

Enjoyed your videos, why'd you stop posting ? 😢
Thanks for sharing this!
Hello what's best time of year to visit , when dose summer start there ?
i have a problem reserving tickets since blueline website only accepts korean cards
absolutely nice temple ua-cam.com/video/EoKUVZDgWO8/v-deo.htmlsi=EuiK7x8_I3IaTi1t
We've just been there a month ago, the Temple is👍🙏 very beautiful and magnificant
Impressed brother
How are you guys? It’s been long time since you guys didn’t post new video. Still living in busan. ?
Hi! Thank you for this beautiful video. I have a question. We want to take the Blueline sky capsule @ Mipo station all the way up to Cheongsapo station. Walk a bit around there and taking back the train from Cheongsapo station back to Mipo station. Is this possible? Can you get a ticket where you just buy the sky capsule + back with train from Cheongsapo to Mipo?
More vlogs please!
We enjoy your channel. Please add more! 😊
Visiting Busan in June! So glad found this channel! Amazing content and makes foreigner feel easier to manage around Busan!
Leaving Busan tomorrow. Nice boat ride last night to see light show on the bridge, fireworks. Tonight walked over to see the night cherry blossoms behind Daewoo apartments. Great photos - even better than daytime pics. Too old for nighttime partying for this old gal!
Great video! I will plan to visit in October 😊👍
Omg lollllll 😂😂😂
Just came across your video by chance and really glad it came up on my feed. All the locations look amazing and hopefully I will plan to go and visit them all in the near future. Thank you!
Thank you for this.
Gamcheon village and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. Its a must see areas.
Good video, what equipment do you use? Cameras/mics/drones, etc....
LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much, now I am putting this place on my list… how is the hike? Easy, moderate/challenging? Do I need a car to go from temple To temple?
I am planning a trip to Busan and your Video is the best one regarding the Haeundae Blue line train! I’d like to ask you one question: In the video, you got on the beach train at Cheongsapo twice, heading to a different direction. Is that allowed for people who buy the free use ticket?
I'm going to Busan next wee to catch cherry blossoms and this video is the most helpful one so far. Thanks a lot for the effort!
We’ll be staying at Fairfield. And when I checked kakaoapp, everything is in 1hr commute
Are you staying at Fairfield in Haeundae or songdo?

Hi there from Australia, I have been doing extensive research on Cherry Blossoms 🌸 in Busan and I must say your Vlogs rates up there amongst all the hours I have sat through. Keep it up 👍. One small improvement, can you link a pin in your info box so we know where we are heading to on Naver map! Much appreciate it. Keep the videos coming, you guys are natural at it!
good that i get to see your videos. Going to Busan for cherry blossoms and deciding where to book hotel is a total headache. these are all very helpful in my planning.
Hi do you know where I can see cherry blossom in Korea in may?
해운대는 진짜 최고
Great video, really helpful! Going to Busan in early May and cant wait to explore the city already
Hello did you just walk all around your way to all the places you’ve shown on the video… NO taxi or public transport??? it would be big help… coz we are going to Busan we usually get lost or find it hard to locate places ha ha but your video seems it looks easy to go to one place to another…. is it all walking distance??? thanks
Your videos are really great!!!! Thanks for all the nice tips!!!
Hi, which one is the closest from Jagalchi market?
Thanks for the great video! This is my itinerary for a day while I’m in Busan this summer, except that I will be also visiting Songdo Bay, Gamcheon Village and Jagalchi Market. Hope it’s not too much to do in one day!
メチャいい感じのメキシコ旅行
Please keep doing your videos! They have been so helpful for our visit and I’m Korean! New subscriber.
Thank you so much for that haha really appreciate it. New videos on the way soon!
Thank you! Great videos. I’ll be staying with a family and then moving to the Westin. This video is very clear. I’m coming for, I hope, cherry blossom time. I’ve heard I can’t use T money card for subway in Busan. Can I use my US credit card or do I need Korean money? Can I walk to the cherry blossom street in Marine City from the Westin. I’m 75, traveling by myself, so restaurants (Korean food) on the main street off Haeundae beach you show would be appreciated ! Thank you.
Hey Becky, thank you so much ! That’s the best time to visit! Not too warm or cool, and it’s certainly the most beautiful time of the year here. I’m not too sure about that, but my American cards generally work everywhere here, but I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to convert and bring a little Korean won. There is a good and inexpensive $ conversion shop right on the main strip of Haeundae as well if needed. Yep you can walk from marine city, shouldn’t take longer than 10-15 minutes or so. If you don’t mind walking slightly uphill, Dalmaji hill is also quite nice + has some cute cafes if you’re into that. The one besides gwangalli beach is even more spectacular, and there is a good chance that you’ll visit that area anyways since it’s the 2nd largest attraction here. So that’s personally the one I’d recommend you visit if you only had to pick 1 based off of ease to get there & come back + the sheer abundance of mature cherry blossom trees. If you need any tips feel free to ask anytime !
@@SomewhereinKorea thanks for that information. I’m a hardy 75 year old and walked a lot along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and trails in the Wicklows so will relish all the walking even uphill.
Very nice video and info
Thank you so much !
I don't usually leave comments but your videos are an exemption. I stumble upon your Busan videos and made me subscribed to you. Your videos are very informative and super love the Maps as it is really helpful. I'll surely used it as my guide. Thank you so much and Keep up the good work!!!!
Hey Vanessa thank you so much !! I really appreciate that :)
Hello! May I have the name of the deep fried pork restaurant please?
깡돼후 야시장 - 57, Bupyeong 1-gil, Jung-gu, Busan :) enjoy! I couldn’t find the English name , but if you have a hard time finding it, if you find this dukbokki restaurant - leegane tteokbokki busan - then the pork restaurant is just a few steps away
@@SomewhereinKorea thank you so much!!
@@SomewhereinKorea I ate there last week, the pork was so good!! Thanks so much for the recommendation!
I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos! I especially love how you set out a map of the area so that we can get our bearings. It's really helpful! Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you so much !! Really appreciate it. If you need any Busan travel tips feel free to ask anytime !
