If you want to see hydrangeas at Honinji, you need to go now~

In mid-June, Jeju is basically hydrangea heaven—hydrangeas are in full bloom, and you can spot them everywhere~

As you drive along the roads, you’ll see hydrangeas blooming by the roadside, and countless garden cafés are filled with them too.

There are also lots of newly opened cafés and fresh hydrangea spots these days.

Today’s pick is Honinji, one of the east-side hydrangea hotspots—and even better because it’s free~

Honinji is a place where the marriage myth of the 3 divine men and the 3 princesses from Jeju mythology has been passed down.

This season, it draws lots of visitors thanks to the hydrangeas that fill the entire area.

With hydrangeas in bloom and the charm of a hanok-style setting, it’s popular not only with locals but also with travelers.

People say there are as many visitors as hydrangeas if you go on the weekend—but~

If you miss this window, you’ll have to wait another year, so of course everyone comes, right?

Honinji39-22 Honinjiro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si

This is the site associated with Jeju’s founding myth. According to legend, it is where the three divine ancestors who pioneered Tamna—Go, Yang, and Bu—first met the three princesses from Byeongnangguk and held their wedding ceremony. Around the pond, myth-themed sculptures and walking paths are laid out, allowing visitors to naturally experience Jeju’s founding legend while enjoying beautiful scenery in every season. In spring, canola flowers and cherry blossoms bloom, and in summer, water lilies and lotus flowers come together to create an even more stunning view. A meaningful place to understand the roots and history of Jeju people, it’s also a great stop to pair with trips to Seongsan Ilchulbong and Seopjikoji.
