Juan Quiroz
Beautiful temple and surroundings. Worth a visit. Don't follow the naver maps directions. Instead take the train to Beomeosa station or Nopo station (even better) and take the 90 bus (it takes you to the temple entrance).
William Law
1300ish years history temples and beautiful walking trail. Highly recommended for a day trip plus bongmeosa temple nearby.
