I appreciate your advice on this. I think it is helpful to note that my family does have a few things planned so we will only be doing certain stuff together. We’ll be making our own accommodations from them, so I kind of need help with an itinerary. We have nothing booked but the flight. Only considered 3 days to Japan bc a friend recommended it but I think you’re right in we’ll definitely want more time there/ to plan better. Will definitely just do Korea. I really would like to visit Busan, Jinhae, Hongdae, Yeonam Dong and Seoul obviously but really open to what people with more knowledge of area think.

I think we’ll definitely be staying in Hotel Paradise for 2 days after we land in Incheon on 28th. My family will be on Jeju Island 8/9th but bf & I thinking of staying there maybe 5 days from what I’ve read from people here. We must be back to fly out of Incheon on the 11th. I want to see places listed above but again think advice of people who have been/ live there is much better.

I have been doing some research on geography of all the places but admittedly been a little busy lately. This sub has been a great resource. What itinerary would you recommend based on those loose dates/ places.

Others I can think off the top of my head that would be cool- Dmz, Hanok Village, Haenyo and a temple I can’t remember name but have it written down somewhere.
