With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Chuncheon, 25 miles away, has to offer. Chuncheon Myeongdong Street ought to be toward the top of your list here. Animation Museum and Gangwon Provincial Flower Garden are fantastic attractions too. Don’t skip Sokcho either! Just 25 miles away, Sokcho Beach, Seorak Waterpia and Yeongnangho Lake are essential stops here.
