Visit Imjingak Pyeonghwa-Nuri Park and the Bridge of Freedom. Next, tour the DMZ, Third Tunnel, and Dora Observatory. This tour will begin with a trip to Imjingak Park, which is located 7 km from the Demarcation Line. The park holds a lot of symbolic and sentimental value for residents of both nations since it serves to commemorate the families that were separated due to the division of North and South Korea. With over 400 exhibitions about North Korea, Imjingak Park is one of the few places in the world where you can learn about the elusive nation. Located in the park is the Freedom Bridge, which connects the two nations and was once used by South Koreans who returned to their nation after the signing of the armistice. After Imjingak Park, you’ll pass through the Unification Village and make your way to the DMZ Theatre and Exhibition Hall, where you’ll learn about the history of the war and the division of Korea. Next up is a tour of the fascinating Third Infiltration Tunnel. The tunnel was dug up by North Koreans to infiltrate South Korea and launch a surprise attack. After the tunnel, you’ll make your way to the Dorasan Observatory. This is where you can use binoculars to catch a rare glimpse of the mostly hidden North Korea. Evening back to Seoul and overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 9 Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka Morning, after breakfast (as per train timing), proceed to Hiroshima by bullet train (2 hours). Arrive in Hiroshima and proceed to the Peace Memorial Museum, consisting of two buildings. The museum surveys the history of Hiroshima and the advent of the nuclear bomb. Its focus, though, is on the events of August 6: the dropping of the bomb and its outcome in human suffering. The personal details displayed are quite upsetting and serve to remind us that we should not take peace for granted. The move to Peace Park Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park is one of the most prominent features of the city. Even visitors not looking for it will likely stumble upon the large park of over 120,000 square meters. Its trees, lawns, and walking paths are in stark contrast to the surrounding downtown area. Before the bomb, the area around what is now Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot’s target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities. Now proceed to Itsukushima Shrine. The centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima is the source of both the island’s fame and its name. Formally named Itsukushima, the island is more popularly known as “Miyajima”, literally “shrine island” in Japanese, thanks to its star attraction. The shrine is known worldwide for its iconic “floating” torii gate. The shrine and its torii gate are unique for being built over water, seemingly floating in the sea during high tide. The shrine consists of multiple buildings, including a prayer hall, main hall, and Noh theater stage, which are connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea.
