Overview

Jinhae, part of Changwon, is under an hour from Busan by private vehicle and holds Korea's best-known cherry-blossom scenery — but the famous spots sit apart from each other, which is exactly where a chauffeur-driven day helps. WL Tour arranges private Changwon and Jinhae day tours from your Busan hotel, Busan Station, or Gimhae International Airport, with a route reviewed around your interests — spring blossoms or a year-round lakeside city drive — and returned the same evening. Submit an inquiry and we will respond within 72 hours.

Highlights

Highlights & route ideas

Yeojwacheon Stream & Romance Bridge

The cherry-lined stream and its footbridge — Jinhae's signature spring view, quiet and photogenic outside peak festival hours.

Gyeonghwa Station Cherry Tunnel

A former railway lined with cherry trees that arch into a tunnel of blossoms — the image most people picture when they think of Jinhae.

Jinhae in Full Bloom

In cherry-blossom season the whole naval town turns pink — cherry-lined streets, the old Gyeonghwa railway line, and Jehwangsan Park's hilltop tower above it all.

Yongji Lake Park, Changwon

Changwon's central lake park with fountains and evening lights — a relaxed year-round stop when the blossoms are gone.

Sample itineraries are examples only, reviewed and adjusted after your inquiry. Routes, timing, and stops depend on your dates, group, traffic, weather, and third-party conditions — nothing here is a fixed package.

Vehicle & chauffeur

Day trips run with a dedicated chauffeur for the full day — Genesis G90 for two, Carnival Hi-Limousine or Staria for families, Solati or Sprinter for larger groups. Your driver stays with you between sites, so bags and blossoms-season crowds are never your problem. Cherry-blossom season brings heavy traffic around Jinhae, so timing is planned around it.

What to tell us

Please share your travel date, group size, pickup point in Busan, whether you are coming for cherry-blossom season or a year-round visit, and any mobility support needs for park paths and the monorail.
