What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Yangyang or Seoul for May 25 to June 30, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The shaman rites run late into the night in the Danoje hall; they are open to anyone who sits quietly.
- Gangneung's coffee street at Anmok beach and the Jeongdongjin sunrise fill the mornings.
- Yangyang airport is 50 minutes north by car; from Seoul the KTX reaches Gangneung in two hours from Seoul Station, and the festival ground is a 15-minute walk.
