  • Here stands a tower in hopes of reunification of the two Koreas. In a way, the tower symbolizes just how far apart they are. A solid, modern structure overlooking a poor, backwards, downtrodden...

  • This special place we visited early in the morning as it shall be. It was a clear day and the tour operator was very nice and informative. From the tower you can see just a few miles away the other...

  • We didn’t expect to see North Korea at such close distance just an hour out of Seoul. The history was very interesting and the contrasts between the North/South Korea were just beyond words. 500m...

  • Clean place throughout. If your going here there is a courtesy bus down below on main road. I walked up and its also nice with good views to North Korea and locally. Not busy when I went and use of spotting scopes free. Yes free! You can see farm workers in North Korea working as well as the lush green fields and surrounding mountains. To enter Tower was like 2000kwn its nothing really but worth the visit.
  • This is a public monument to the idea of unifying North and South Korea. The museum is interesting but the observation deck is the draw since you can literally see people walking about in North Korea via the binoculars. This place and all others seem to require proof of recent vaccination (like 10 months or less)
  • Fantastic museum, well curated. The most harrowing bits for me were the photo wall of photos of the separated families and the binoculars you could use to look across the border and see actual North Koreans shuffling to and fro. Chilling!
  • I have always wanted to see both sides of the Korean peninsula. I have been very fortunate to have fully explored South Korea, but haven’t had the opportunity to see the Northern side of the border. Odusan Unification Tower walks you through the history behind the division of the Korean peninsula and displays images of the families affected by this division. It also provides you an opportunity to have a glimpse of North Korea. A must visit.
  • Very nice museum and observatory. There is a shuttle bus we didn't know about but we got lucky and kind driver stopped for us on the way to tower.
