About this experience

Churches in Nari Basin is a self-guided walking tour of the historic churches and chapel sites scattered across the volcanic basin on Ulleungdo Island. The route connects the early 20th-century Protestant mission stations with the island’s unique mountain-farming villages, offering a quiet look at local religious heritage. Visitors follow a marked path through forest and fields, with each church building retaining its original wooden frame and simple interior.

What to expect

The tour covers 4 churches and 2 chapel ruins over a 3-kilometre loop, taking about 2 hours at a relaxed pace.
Each stop includes a printed information board with historical photos and a short account of the congregation's founding.
The first church, built in 1908, still holds a Sunday service at 10:00; visitors may enter the nave outside service hours.
The route passes the old parsonage garden, where the original well and stone boundary wall remain intact.
Suitable for walkers of all ages, but the final 300 metres to the hilltop chapel involves a steep gravel incline.
A printed trail map is available at the Nari Basin Visitor Centre, and the path is clearly marked with wooden signposts.
