About Gimje
Korea's widest plains, where the rice fields meet the horizon
A farming county in Jeollabuk-do set on the Honam Plain, the widest stretch of flat farmland in Korea and famous as the one place where you can watch the sun set over an open horizon of rice and barley fields. The Juksan-myeon countryside, with its metasequoia-lined roads and quiet village streets, is where pianist Yuhki Kuramoto played an open-air concert for the rural-life channel Onulun.
