Roughly translated as Nutmeg Tree Forest, Bijarim let us have a refreshing walk, surrounded by trees of 500-800 years. I enjoyed the serenity, unique kinds of bird chirping, and the smell of Bijarim only nature can provide. We also saw a tree that was planted in 12th century, and it was unbelievable to see how the tree can endure such a time. It is also an easy walk, as there is no uphill and no scorching sun directly at your face. Lastly, I appreciated the plant/tree information descriptions in Korean but wish there were one in English for other visitors.

After visiting this place, I found it hard to understand why this place was so highly rated (averaging 4.6/5 at the time of this review), and resonated more with those who mentioned this place was basically nothing. Even if you are a nature lover, there are plenty of other places you should first explore before travelling to check this one out. There is a dirt path which is starting to show its age, and a boardwalk at some parts. The nature parts were a mess to look. A couple of reviews show manicured terrains, those are at the start before the main walk. The highlight of the ‘forest’ is supposedly the Millennium Nutmeg tree, photographed, which is less than impressive. Imagine the rest of this place. There is also a nominal entrance fee.

* Note: if you're driving in Jeju, you should download the Naver maps that has english navigations guidance available; google maps does not provide navigation in Korea. If you require driving tips/guide in jeju, go to my profile and look for my review for lotte rent a car auto house. * To be very frank, this forest is just like another other forest. However it has a history that Kings of jeju use to go there to breathe in the air and feel revitalise. I would recommend here only if you have ran out of attractions to visit in jeju.

A short and lovely nature walk among nutmeg trees. There is a path that takes you inside the forest, trees are labeled and marked for information. You can hear birds chirping as you walk, it's very relaxing. I have seen many visitors walk barefoot, they said it's good for blood circulation. Overall, enjoyed our walk and it was one way to relieve stress. There's cafés and a small restaurant putside by the parking lot for some refreshments. Fee was 2,000 won per adult.

I really liked this forest because it's a nice, relaxing walk in a beautiful surrounding among trees that are hundreds of years old. It's very cheap admission (I think around 2,000 won for adults) and takes about an hour to an hour and a half to walk through. The total course is 3.2km if you walk the whole route. It's a very easy walk, but some parts are loose rocks, so wear appropriate foot wear.

Went in feb2024 (Korean winter). Some trees were bare with no leaves. It’s a dirt path through a forest. Don’t expect any wow-factors. Maybe it’s nicer in spring or summer when there are more leaves. It’s a quiet calm walk and that’s about it. I would only come here if I had no where else to go and it was along the way anyway. Not a big deal if this was missed on your Jeju itinerary
