Overview

Step into Korea’s painful past and witness the dark realities of Japanese colonisation. Follow the road to independence, highlight the suffering, sacrifice and relentless resistance of the Korean people.

Begin at Seodaemun Prison History Hall, where Korean freedom fighters—many of them students—were imprisoned, tortured and executed. Stand before Dongnimmun Arch, once a beacon of Korea’s independence hopes, now a solemn reminder of lost sovereignty. Explore Dilkusha, home of an American journalist who exposed Japan’s brutal rule to the world.

Follow the footsteps of the March 1st Movement, a nationwide uprising that became the foundation of Korea’s liberation efforts. End at Tapgol Park, where the first cries for freedom rang out, sparking a revolution that ultimately led to independence.

Feel the heartbreak, courage and unyielding spirit of those who shaped Korea’s path to freedom. This is more than a tour—it’s a journey through oppression, defiance and Korea’s fight for freedom.
