Let's begin😎
Huhuam was established with the purpose of releasing the burdens of everyday life and finding peace repeatedly. A rock resembling Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva lying on the beach was discovered, making it renowned as a place where many come to pray. The most prominent feature here is the Buddha statue holding a book. Wisdom Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, depicted with a gentle expression while holding a book, appears to embrace the sea, believed to bestow knowledge and insight. Why not commence your journey by relinquishing all feelings of animosity, envy, resentment, and discord in Huhuam?

Osaek Carbonated Hot Springs offer a rejuvenating experience with effervescent carbonic acid. Starting the day in chilly seawater, why not end it by relaxing in a cozy hot spring? Upon immersing yourself in the carbonated hot spring water sourced from 470 meters underground, it might initially feel cool due to carbonation, but will gradually warm up. This carbonation that invigorates the skin is believed to soothe your entire body. The elevated oxygen levels in this environment, coupled with the soothing sounds of waterfalls and birds chirping, will expedite the recovery of your fatigued body and mind.
