Jingwansa Temple

Try instead

Why it is hidden: The slope on the main entrance side is steep and long, so expect a hard walk. It is not known whether the elevator lets you avoid this slope.

What we know

Route

A shuttle bus stops at Yeonsinnae Station Exit 3, in front of Hana Bank, and at the Gijachon intersection stop. It leaves Yeonsinnae Station at 8:30, 9:00 and 9:30, as of December 2024.

Entrance

The main entrance side is wide with no step, but the uphill slope is steep and long. It can be hard with a wheelchair or stroller. Sources differ on whether the approach has a gentle ramp. Look at the slope when you arrive, before you start up.

Ground

The ground before the gate may be rough, with exposed gravel, cracks and puddles. The walkway on the right appears to be stone paving.

Elevator

There is an elevator that wheelchair users can ride, though use may be partly difficult. It may link two levels beside a stone stairway, so do not assume it replaces the uphill slope.

Toilets

There are two accessible toilets: one at Hamwoldang (함월당), in the back yard, and one below Nagawon (나가원). One appears roomy, with a folding bar by the toilet and fixed bars around the sink, but use may be partly difficult.

Wheelchairs

You can borrow a wheelchair here. There is also a storage area.

Parking

Do not count on accessible parking here.

Signs

You can get close to the information signs in a wheelchair. They may have no braille or sign language information, or it may be hard to use. Sources differ on whether audio guides, large-print leaflets and braille leaflets are available. Ask for them when you arrive.
