In October, as the breezy autumn weather continues,

Jeju transforms, bathed in dazzling white buckwheat flowers, as if covered in fresh snow.

If you're looking to enjoy some leisurely time with your children amidst nature,

why not head to Jocheon-eup, located on the eastern side of Jeju?

Check out our review of the blooming season, experiences, and food

from our trip with the kids, and I hope it helps you plan your October Jeju adventure!

East Jeju Must-Visit Spots:

Can You Still See Buckwheat Flowers in October?

When you think of Jeju's buckwheat flowers, it's easy to associate them only

with the May festival season. However, Jeju cultivates buckwheat twice a year, meaning the beautiful white flowers bloom in full glory both in May and again in October!

If you're planning an autumn trip to East Jeju in October,

make sure to visit Wahle Buckwheat Village with your children!

Recommended Family Travel Itinerary

Arriving at Waheul Buckwheat Village, you'll be amazed by the endless fields of white buckwheat flowers,

shimmering as if popcorn has been scattered everywhere!

The blend of Jeju's 'oreums' (volcanic cones) and traditional stone walls creates such a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere

that it's highly recommended not just for kids,

but also for visiting with your parents.

When traveling with kids and parents,

you'll find plenty of chairs to rest comfortably when you need a break!

Don't forget to capture some 'life-shot' photos with your family

at the sturdy wooden swing in the middle of the field and the traditional stone wall photo zone.

Various experience programs are also available,

so it's not just about admiring the buckwheat flowers;

you can also enjoy a small rural experience with your children.

Pet-Friendly Status

Waheul Buckwheat Village is a premier pet-friendly tourist destination

on Jeju's east side.

However, wearing a leash is mandatory,

so please keep this in mind if you plan to visit

with your furry friend.

With wide-open fields and well-maintained walking paths,

it's a great place for dogs to stretch their legs without feeling confined.

The walking paths are also stroller-friendly!

Don't Miss Jeju's Traditional Delicacy, Jireumtteok!

When you come to Waheul Buckwheat Village, there's a special delicacy you absolutely must try.

That is, buckwheat-based treats and

Jireumtteok, a traditional Jeju food.

Jireumtteok is a traditional Jeju-style rice cake made by kneading glutinous rice flour, shaping it into a star,

frying it in oil, and then sprinkling sugar on top.

It's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside!

My child devoured all the Jireumtteok, so I don't have a picture, but you should definitely try it at least once during your Jeju trip!

This spot is perfect for:

▶Families exploring Eastern Jeju this October

▶Travelers with kids visiting Jeju in autumn

▶Those bringing flower-loving parents on a trip

Jocheon Wahle Maemil Village offers the soothing comfort of nature,

allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Jeju's humble, authentic charm.

Whether you're traveling with kids or furry friends,

it's a truly recommended spot for any family exploring Jeju.

Make sure to visit in October, when the buckwheat flowers are in full bloom! With your beloved family and furry companions,

stroll through the fields of white buckwheat flowers

and create unforgettable autumn memories of Jeju.
