2. history
Nami Island originally became an island only during floods, but in 1944 As the Japanese built the Cheongpyeong Dam , the water level of the Bukhan River rose and it became a complete island . The origin of the name of Nami Island, which was also called Namseom, which means front island, was naturally settled due to a long-standing folklore that General Nami, a military commander in the early Joseon Dynasty , was buried in a pile of stones on a hill in the north of Nami Island. According to Dasan Jeong Yak-yong 's books, such as Cheonwugihaeng (穿牛紀行) and Sansusimwongi (汕水尋源記), you can find a record of calling Nami Island as Namiseo (南怡嶼) along with these folklore details.While島 (do) refers to a large island , 嶼 (seo) refers to a small island where people cannot live .
Friendship Story between Min Byeong-do and Min Byeong- gal Min Byung- do , the founder of Nami Island Amusement Park , built a burial mound around a pile of stones and erected a memorial stone to comfort General Nami's soul and honor the general's spirit in the early days of Nami Island 's construction in 1965 . After writing, 'Iljung Kim Chung-hyeon' wrote the letters. The one on Nami Island is Heomyo (虛墓), and the administrative tomb of General Nami is Gyeonggi-do . Hwaseong City It is located in Namjeon-ri, Bibong-myeon .
During the Joseon Dynasty, if a person was executed for treason , their descendants were forbidden to build a tomb . So the real graveyard is Hwaseong-gun It was secretly built at Mt. 145, Namjeon- ri, Bibong-myeon, and if the tomb was officially revealed, the tomb would be damaged and in some cases, the officials could be killed . That is why he tried to preserve the original tomb by creating a false tomb.
In modern times, Nami Island has become famous as a tourist destination. Since the 1970s, along with Cheongpyeong Amusement Park in Gapyeong-gun and Jungdo Amusement Park in Chuncheon, it has been in the limelight as an amusement park along the Bukhan River. In particular, from 1979 to 1989, the MBC Riverside Song Festival was held on Nami Island. In the 2000s, thanks to the drama Winter Sonata being filmed on this island, it became famous as a tourist destination for Hallyu fans and has become a place visited by many foreigners as well as Koreans.
Currently, along with Jaraseom Island in the north, it is uniquely playing a role as a tourist resource on the banks of the Bukhangang River , and except for Jaraseom Island, which can be accessed by car, it has become the only place that can be accessed only by ship.[6] Originally, there were Wido Island (Hedgehog Island), Carp Island , and Jungdo Island, but they do not play a role as tourist destinations. Hedgehog Island's redevelopment attempt failed in the 2000s, Jungdo Island's existing amusement park was demolished and Legoland Korea was built, and Carp Island's use was changed to an island for solar power generation . However, with the official opening of Legoland Korea, Jungdo also returned to its role as a tourist destination.
It was registered as the largest private garden in Korea in 2024. #

3. geography
![]() | ![]() |
Location of Nami Island (inside the red circle) | The red line in the middle is the boundary of the administrative district. |
Since the island in the middle of the Bukhangang River is tilted more toward Gangwon-do , its administrative district is Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. Although it is located in Chuncheon City , the access road and the only dock to this island are in Gapyeong-gun , Gyeonggi-do .[7] It is far from downtown Chuncheon City and relatively close to downtown Gapyeong- gun, so it is virtually the same as Gapyeong-gun . Phones within Nami Island also use Gyeonggi-do phone numbers starting with 031 .[8] Therefore, it is classified as a real border crossing , and it is a rare case for a domestic tourist destination included in a real border crossing.[9] Chuncheon City also made several attempts to build its own dock, but was thwarted by sanctions from the Ministry of Environment . This is because the waterfront area is a restricted development zone and must pass an environmental impact assessment .
It is not technically difficult to build a bridge because the straight line distance closest to the land is only about 200 meters . However, it seems that there is no plan to build a bridge at all because it is an island belonging to a national river , the entire island is privately owned, there is not a single resident, and only employees of Nami Island Co., Ltd. stay . In addition, due to the nature of the tourist destination , going by boat rather than walking through the bridge has a better atmosphere, and it is not common for ordinary people to experience riding a boat in an inland area, so it provides another entertainment in itself. there is. The dock is not on the river bank directly facing Nami Island, but slightly to the north. So it takes about 4-5 minutes by boat to Nami Island. If you feel like going for a while, you will see the Nami Island dock right away, and you will arrive soon.
For reference, it has nothing to do with Sonami Island (San 174, Balsan-ri, Nam-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do) located in the Hongcheon River .
4. traffic
As it is a popular tourist destination, cars are sometimes pushed back when moving along National Road No. 46 from the eastern part of Gyeonggi -do to Chuncheon-si . Major events are held here, such as the Nami Island World Book Festival held every two years and the Nami Concours, an illustration contest.
Transportation facilities inside Nami Island include the Nanum Train that runs from the marina to the center of Nami Island , and the Nami Island Story Tour Bus that goes around the outskirts of Nami Island without stopping .

- Route toward Gapyeong Station ( Gapyeong-eup )
The public transportation is about 1.5km from Nami Island, and there is a Gapyeong Station ( Gyeongchun Line ), and the metropolitan area can be easily accessible within an hour by ITX-Youth train, which is a metropolitan area or semi-high train, and in Seoul , there is an intercity bus line departing from the East Seoul Terminal .[10][11] It is a 5-minute taxi from Gapyeong Station or Gapyeong Terminal to the entrance of Nami Island .
When there are a lot of tourists, you can walk from Gapyeong Station to Nami Island. It takes about 20 minutes on foot. Nearby restaurants offer free parking or valet parking for KRW 4,000 during meals .
In 2010, it was a new means of transportation and a fun way to do, and it is a tremendous means of transportation in one minute from 80m high tower to Nami Island. This straw wire has a direction of Nami Island and a Jarasum direction, and there is no direction to return from the island to the dock. The price is 49,900 won. Nami Island is currently 19,000 won for round -trip entrance fees, middle school students to high school students, 70 years of age or older and national merit are 16,000 won for preferential charges, and special preferential rates for elementary school students are 13,000 won. The national merit applies to a preferential price for the owner of the national merit, and the entrance fee includes a round -trip ship ride. In the case of group discounts, 10%of the total payment amount is discounted for 20 or more general visitors. In the case of free admission, it is applicable only to group leaders of travel agency group tourists, parental infants, infants, and schools (elementary, middle, high) welfare facilities for less than 36 months (first 20 or more people, one additional person)
In 2014, a trial run of a shuttle bus connecting Nami Island directly to tourist attractions in Chuncheon was halted after only about 10 days due to opposition from Jinheung Express (currently Gapyeong Transportation ) due to the problem of operating across provincial boundaries without consultation with Gapyeong-gun and Gyeonggi-do. I did it. # Afterwards, after an agreement was made to allow participation in a contest, the Chuncheon City Tour Bus was reopened in October to circulate around Nami Island and various attractions, but the route has been reorganized and implemented since February 2015 due to the low number of users. In addition, an attempt was made to build a separate ferry terminal to Nami Island within the Chuncheon city area and operate a cruise ship, but it was canceled due to problems such as profitability.

It is the place where you can see the most foreign tourists after Seoul , Busan , and Jeju Island . Oddly enough, it is a Korean tourist destination that foreigners are more interested in than locals.[12] Among the single tourist destinations in Korea, Nami Island has the largest number of foreign visitors. A place where there are always a lot of foreigners, along with Namsan Seoul Tower and Gyeongbokgung Palace . It has an area of about 460,000 square meters and a circumference of about 5 kilometers, so if you wander around diligently, you can see the entire island in about a day. If you have a schedule of more than two days, you can also visit other areas around Nami Island, such as Gapyeong or Chuncheon .

The area of Nami Island is approximately 460,000 square meters (140,000 pyeong), approximately the same size as the campuses of medium and large universities .

There is a boutique hotel called Hotel Jeonggwanru on the island , but many people are looking for it, so you need to make a reservation three months in advance. The guest rooms in the main building, Jeonggwanjae, are decorated by artists such as painters , craftsmen, and writers , and no two rooms are the same. You can choose between a 2-person room, a 4-person room, a bed type, and an ondol type, and you can reserve a room with the design you want.
In addition, it consists of the main building, Jeonggwanjae, with 44 guest rooms, including family rooms and outbuildings such as cabins, and 13 annexes along the west bank of the river. The annex consists of a condo villa for families or groups to stay, and a tutu villa for two people to spend time together. The annex guest house is composed of one-room type rooms. Hotel guests can use the shuttle bus between the marina and the hotel. There is an outdoor swimming pool, Water Garden, next to the hotel. Anyone can use it for a fee, and guests can use it at a discounted rate. In addition , a poolside barbecue is held on sunny days from spring to autumn.
There are train tracks along the main route of the island, which can be used for 4,000 won. See the item for details
If you use the Nami Island Story Tour Bus, you can comfortably see the beautiful scenery of the outskirts of Nami Island.
There is a picture book playground in the center of the island , and the building is large. There are many books in the picture book playground on the first floor, so it is worth spending a day at the library . There is a small slide in the library that children love. On the second floor, there is Hey Schools Club Nami Island, a Finnish early childhood education program. There is a restaurant and cafe on the first floor.
There is a mole house next to the library .[13] , Most of them are structured to go around on pipes, so it is difficult to use unless you are a child . Next to it is a bike center and a short sky bike. There are bicycle rentals for 1, 2, 4 people as well as electric bicycles. In addition, there is Treego & TreeCoaster, a European forest experience facility.
Woohyun Kang, the current vice president, is Hongik University. He graduated from an art college and is creating various cultural art events and installation art in Nami Island. It looks a bit messy, but it seems to be quite successful, seeing as the audience likes it while exploding the flash. Since Winter Sonata is the beginning of the island 's revitalization (until then, Nami Island was an amusement park. In fact, vacationers drank only soju, ran around, and roared loudly) Winter Sonata- related snowmen and metasequoia roads are major trademarks. In addition, soju bottles scattered throughout the island are being recycled by pressing them flat to make bridges .
On the outskirts of the island, there is a wooden promenade that runs along the riverside. It is good to take a walk in the morning.
The ostrich , trapped in the fence, is called 'ganga' and has the nickname 'gangsterata' . Originally, it was engraved on the island, but it was trapped in us with a turmoil, such as taking the lunch of tourists , and instead, the peacock, rabbits, squirrels, and Cheongseolmo were grazed.
Jason Mraz also performed on Nami Island.

6. controversies and incidents
6.1. Was Nami Island stolen by Min Young - hwi during the Japanese colonial period as a pro-Japanese act?
6.1.1. Reprint of the official position of 'Nami Island Co., Ltd.'
Nami Island Homepage> Frequently Asked Questions> What is the official position on the pro-Japanese issue of Nami Island on the Internet?
Recently, malicious articles that have not been confirmed and slanderous articles by some Internet media have been circulating on the Internet . We, Nami Island , are seeking civil and criminal legal action, including filing a complaint with the Press Arbitration Commission for false slander that is not true . The position of Nami Island Co., Ltd. on the content items shown in malicious false slander articles is as follows.
- Is the founder of Nami Island pro-Japanese?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That’s not true. Min Byeong-do, the genius founder of Nami Island, a financier, publisher, and supporter of culture and arts, is not included in the 'List of Pro-Japanese and Anti-National Actors' designated by the Asset Investigation Committee of Pro-Japanese and Anti-National Actors, a state agency of the Republic of Korea during the participatory government , or even in the 'Dictionary of Pro-Japanese Biographical Names' published by the 'Institute for National Studies' (Chairman: Father Ham Se-woong ), a progressive private organization. The teacher's late father, Min Cheon-sik, is also not included in any pro-Japanese list. Although Mr. Su -jae is the adopted son of Min Cheon-sik, the illegitimate son of Min Yeong -hwi, who had pro-Japanese activities 110 years ago, both the government of the Republic of Korea and progressive private organizations have officially determined that Mr. Su-jae and his father are not pro-Japanese and anti-national actors .
- Then why is it being discussed as a pro-Japanese issue?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: A misunderstanding began when Min Young-hwi , who had pro-Japanese history, paid national defense contributions to Japan under the name of a bright student who was a young student abroad at the time . However, the misunderstanding has now been resolved as it turned out to be a simple payment under a borrowed name. There is even an absurd story that Min Yeong-hwi acquired the secret ledger of Empress Myeongseong 's Min clan and purchased Nami Island, but this is also just a false rumor that would not even appear in a fantasy novel.
- Is Nami Island a property that came down from the Japanese colonial era, was sold, or was purchased with financial resources formed through pro-Japanese acts?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true. Nami Island took shape as an island with the completion of the Cheongpyeong Dam in the mid-1940s. Prior to that, it was a cheap wasteland in the countryside that no one paid attention to because it was half-submerged when it rained. After liberation, Nami Island, where a few households lived and farmed, was purchased by a brilliant teacher who had been involved in the financial world for decades in 1965 with his earned income and retirement money, and carefully planted each seedling with the local natives . I just planted and nurtured it. At the time, when the development of Gangnam was being discussed, when many people around me recommended buying Gangnam land, I rejected it and made a catchphrase, “The green hill and the clear river are our property . The story of planting and growing is still famous. In other words, Nami Island is not an island of one or two people, but an island where the natives of Nami Island and each of its 400 employees have devoted 50 years of blood and sweat. The people who carried a single stone or a tree 50 years ago are still working at the same workplace at the age of 80, and the natives who lived and worked on Nami Island before the development of Nami Island are still visiting and contributing as people who love Nami Island.
- Did Nami Island convert to a corporation to avoid the redemption of pro-Japanese property during the participatory government?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true. In the 1960s, when there was no good tourist resort, diplomats from foreign diplomatic missions in Korea went to Japan during vacation to prevent outflow of foreign currency and to develop a sound national tourist destination. On December 23, 2011, Nami Island was converted into a stock company. Since then, we have poured all of our financial resources into Nami Island tree planting and support for culture and art for decades, reaching today.
- Is the rumor true that Nami Island and Nami Island executives and shareholders do not pay a dime of tax?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true. Nami Island, its hundreds of executives and employees, and dozens of shareholders are faithfully fulfilling their tax obligations, and in particular, as a model company with the largest contribution to tax payment in the region, they are playing a part in regional development. In addition, even in the case of stock transfer, all taxes stipulated by law are paid fairly, so malicious rumors floating around on the Internet are not true.
- Is the rumor true that Nami Island executives and shareholders have land in Samseong-dong , Seoul and live in a mansion in California, USA?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true. None of the hundreds of employees and dozens of stockholders of Nami Island owns land in Samseong-dong , Seoul, or owns or lives in mansions in Santa Monica and Palace Verdes, California's wealthiest towns, as they always wander.
- Is the rumor true that some of Nami Island's employees and shareholders have dual citizenship ?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true.
- Is it true that Nami Island sells General Nami and seduces tourists with the lie that General Nami is buried there?
Nami Island Co., Ltd.: That's not true. In 1965, at the beginning of the construction of Nami Island, Sujae built a burial mound and erected a memorial stone around the pile of stones, which was said to be General Nami's tomb, to comfort General Nami's soul and honor the general's spirit. Ilchuk Kim Choong-hyeon wrote a letter. Meanwhile, the administrative grave of General Nami is located in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do . It is located in Namjeon-ri, Bibong-myeon , which is explained in detail on the Nami Island website.
6.1.2. objection to the official position
He claims that he has purchased it as his retirement allowance, but he is an excuse that lacks or lacks evidence. At that time, Min Byung -do had already inherited most of the property that Min Young -hui accumulated in return for pro -Japanese national behavior .
Even if Min Young-hwi's pro-Japanese property was sold to a concubine...
'National tourist destination' engulfed in pro-Japanese property controversy
It is also pointed out that pro -Japanese property and related laws have been applied too narrow. The Special Investigation Committee of the anti -ethnic behavior, established immediately after the liberation of 8.15 , was able to "confiscate" property -related property by applying the Criminal Law. If Nami Island applies such a perspective, there is room for confiscation of property created based on pro -Japanese national behavior . In addition, there is a problem that the official position of the 'Naman island' does not provide specific or written data in detail. In addition, the founder Min Byung -do is trying to ride the water that he is not directly pro -Japanese. It was not the founder of Nami Island, but Min Byung -do inherited most of the heritage as the immediate descendants of Min Young -hui , who was confirmed as a pro -Japanese anti -ethnic actor , and the property was based on Nami Island.
In addition, Min Byung -do was a grandson of his pro -Japanese Min Young -hui, and he was higher education in the Japanese colonial era, worked at his father's bank, and after the liberation of the pro -Japanese, he served as president of the Bank of Korea in the 1960s.
Min Byung -do graduated from Kyungsung Cheil High School and Keio University in Japan. After returning to Korea, he joined the Chosun Bank and worked as a bank -in -law, which was founded by his father, Min Dae -sik, and participated as an promoter when the Daily Newspaper, the Governor -General of Korea, turned into a stock company in 1938. Based on this career, he reached the governor of the Bank of Korea after liberation. For example, if the chaebol's son was a good university and went to a good university and went to study abroad, he was a university professor with the halo and support of the family. Never. Min Byung -do was also the grandson of the big pro -Japanese, so he was advanced, and he was the governor of the Bank of Korea with the strength and halo of the family.

6.1.3. Decision to delete articles from the Seoul Central District Court

Order 1. The defendants are published on the e -website (F) on the e -website (F) within 7 days of this decision. go. The part called "H", me. `` I is a property that could not be belonged to the state in 2006, when J Commission (J) was active. It was due to the limitations of the 'K Act' of J's activities that pro -Japanese property became incorporated or the property obtained by a third party could not belong to the state. 」 Delete each . 2.

Delete the part . 3. Reject each claim for the defendant of the plaintiff. 4. 1/2 of the cost of litigation and the rest of the defendants are borne by the defendants. |
(2) ①, ④, ⑦ ⑦ 실 실 or public interest In the light of the following circumstances that can be found by combining the intention of the entire argument in each substrate of the 4th to 15th and 20th, X is purchased by the property he collects, and it is difficult to see that I bought I as an inherited or donated property from N. It can be said to be false. (A) In the special law on the state attribution of the pro -Japanese national property, the property of pro -Japanese national actors (hereinafter referred to as 'pro -Japanese property') means that the pro -Japanese national actors are acquired in exchange for cooperation in Japanese imperialism from 1945. It is a property that has been donated and donated. In this case, the property acquired by pro -Japanese national actors from the opening of the Russian War to 1945. However, even though the defendants' Internet article submitted by the defendants or Internet posts (first to 2 certificates), X is not enough to buy I as a property that was inherited from the pro -Japanese national actor N. The impression was asserted. (B) X was not included in the list of pro -Japanese national actors or 'Z' published by the J -Labs, but was engaged in financial institutions for 25 years until the bank was retired from the AB Governor in 1965. (C) In 1965, which was retired from the president of the AB Bank, X collected the salary and retirement allowance he had received, and in 1966, the owner of I was incorporated into AC Corporation in order to create a comprehensive resort in I. (D) There is no direct data on the purchase price of i when X purchases I. However, in 1972, Chuncheon AD Land, which is part of I, is 35, and the 35 -grade land is 35 won per m², and the total area of the total area is 460,000m², and the purchase price of I at the time is 16,100,000 won (= 35 won × 460,000m²). In 2018, it seems to be the amount that X could be purchased by considering the social career that X has accumulated about 611,059,400 won, and the self -accumulation that it has accumulated in accordance with the time. |
If you infer the purchase price in 1965 from the land price in 1972 and convert it to the 2018 value, it would be about 600 million won. He acknowledged the falsity of the media company's claim, saying that it is possible to raise 600 million won with severance pay and money saved so far.
However, this conversion is simply based on the consumer price index .[15] , Due to Korea's economic growth, there is a loophole that the current wage increase rate is much higher than the price increase rate compared to the past. As of June 1972, the average monthly salary of workers was 22,650 won, and the average monthly salary in the financial insurance and real estate industries was 47,095 won. Even as of 1972, 16.1 million won is an amount close to 29 times the average annual salary of workers in the financial labor and real estate industries. Even if Min Byung- do worked at a bank and served as the governor of the Bank of Korea, it is questionable whether he would have been able to raise such money on his own.

After the enactment of the Special Act on Pro-Japanese and Anti-National Activities, Min Yeong-hui was also pointed out as a target, but only about 7 billion won was returned because it was difficult to physically distinguish property under the name of an individual from property under the corporate name, as most of the property had already been incorporated into “Nami Island Co., Ltd. ” .
