Course Overview
Bijarimro is an approximately 15 km straight road connecting Gyorae-ri in Jocheon-eup to Pyeongdae-ri in Gujwa-eup. Cedar trees over 20 meters tall line both sides, forming a natural green tunnel and earning its reputation as "Jeju's most beautiful road."
The cedars were planted in the 1970s as part of a windbreak forestation project and have since grown into a magnificent forest. Driving through the phytoncide-rich woods is healing in itself — roll down the windows and let the fresh cedar scent fill the car.
Section Highlights
Section 1: Gyorae-ri Entrance to Cedar Tunnel Start (approx. 3 km)
Entering from the Gyorae Natural Recreation Forest direction, the road starts with typical rural scenery before cedars gradually thicken into a green tunnel.
Section 2: Core Cedar Tunnel Section (approx. 8 km)
The highlight of Bijarimro. Cedars grow so densely that the sky is barely visible. Watch for cars pulled over for photos.
Section 3: Bijarim Forest to Pyeongdae-ri (approx. 4 km)
The entrance to Bijarim Forest (Natural Monument) appears along this stretch. A grove of 2,800 Torreya trees, aged 500 to 800 years, awaits those who step out for a walk.
