Namhae-gun Jodo and Hodo ... Renowned as Perfect Islands for Travel

Enjoying the Beautiful Coastline and Sea

‘Jodo and Hodo’ in Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam, have been selected as five “perfect islands to visit” where visitors can enjoy autumn and local festivals.

Namhae-gun's Jodo and Hodo have been selected as autumn islands you want to visit.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Korea Island Promotion Agency select and announce “islands you want to visit” each season to promote islands that are great for tourism.

The autumn islands selected this time are Gyodongdo in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon; Daebudo in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi; Geumodo in Yeosu-si, Jeonnam; Jodo and Hodo in Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam; and Chujado in Jeju-si.

Jodo and Hodo are islands visible as if within reach from Mijo Port in Mijo-myeon, the southeastern tip of Namhae-gun. Jodo is located right in front of Mijo Port, and Hodo lies to its southwest.

On both islands, visitors can enjoy picturesque coastlines and blue seas, and they are especially popular as great places for walking.

There are walking trails along the coastline where visitors can comfortably stroll for about an hour while enjoying beautiful scenery, making these islands ideal for tourists seeking a quiet and relaxing break. Currently, a ferry operates between Mijo Port and the two islands.

The Korea Island Promotion Agency is holding an event open to anyone visiting the autumn islands, offering prizes through a lottery. Travel information for the five islands selected as autumn islands can be found on the website “Korea Tourism Organization’s Korea Travel Online.”
