Nami Island: A Place Where Walking Alone Brings Comfort

A Day of Kindness to Yourself Away from the City

Sometimes, you don’t need to travel far to find a place that calms your mind. For me, Nami Island was such a place.

From the moment I stepped onto the ferry crossing the river to the island, the air felt different.

⛴️ The Journey Begins Before You Even Reach the Island

Even the time spent waiting for the ferry at the dock was filled with excitement. The distant view of the forest and the serene scene of the ferry gliding across the water created a sense of anticipation. Though the ride only lasts a few minutes, the feeling of entering an island brings a unique thrill.

As soon as you step off the ferry and onto the island, the atmosphere changes. The breeze feels gentler, and the sunlight seems warmer.

🌲 A Path Where Every Step Becomes a Scenic Moment

The paths are neither complicated nor confusing. You simply walk wherever your feet take you. Following the Metasequoia Road, surrounded by tall, straight trees, you feel like the protagonist of a picturesque scene.

Take a seat on one of the benches scattered along the way, gaze across the river, or follow a squirrel as it scurries by. Time seems to slow down in these moments.
