I put Jinhae in my Busan trip’s itinerary as I saw the beautiful picture on travel websites and found this breathtaking stream called Yeojwacheon. The Yeojwacheon Stream’s Wooden Walkway offers a unique view of the cherry blossom on top and canola flowers at the bottom along the stream. Taking photos in the middle of the footbridge across the stream, the far end is just perfect as a vanishing point of the photo ... http://wp.me/p5Lw9a-3H

I went there for the Cherry Blossoms festival in the beginning of April with my classmates (a bus full foreigners!) and Korean Language teachers. We planned this trip since March but in the last minutes we got the information that the Cherry Blossoms were not fully blooming. Due to our very important examinations schedule in April, we can not delay the trip. When we came the festival is already began with various art performance, booths with local deliciacies and craft. Eventough all we saw around were only the baby cherry blossoms, but still, everything was beautiful, pink, calming and romantic! The Horse Drawn Wagons in the streets made Jinhae looks really like a fairy tale city.
The main attraction beside the festival itself is of course the famous Yeojwacheon bridge. You'd better find a place for breakfast or lunch since you have to walk a bit far to the bridge and will spent hours to walk beneath the trees. You can find local restaurant very easily. I can't really remember how we get to the bridge (thanks to the guide of our native teacher). All I remember is I kept shooting with my pocket camera and can't stop seeing around. Next time I really have to come when the cherry blossoms fully blooming.

Found out Jinhae is 'the' place for cherry blossoms and this stream is a not-to-be missed.
The stream is really beautiful with cherry blossoms lining the tiny boardwalk on either sides. For certain sections, you can walk down to the banks and see pretty little yellow flowers along the stream for some 1.5 km.
We spent a good time of our day visit to Jinhae along this stream, basking in the sights of the plentiful cherry blossoms that lined almost all streets in this tiny town, and not just along the stream.
You would not be hungry here - it is a street food paradise - so many of them - even the ubiquitous turkish kebab and icecream, and even barista-brewed coffee - alongside the stream. A little bit pitiful that the tops of the colorful tents somewhat marred the breath taking views of the cherry blossoms when photograph taking but then again, it kind of added to the charm.
At the end of the stream is the entrance to the ecopark. Worth a visit too - free entrance. There are more cherry blossoms and those by the small lake, in the early evening with the low sun, provide opportunities for lovely photo shoots. While strolling around the lake, you can see the slopes of the surrounding mountains having huge pockets of pinkish white of cherry blossoms trees.
We were really fortunate that we got our timing right and we were blessed with such beautiful sights of cherry blossoms that this must be the highlight of our entire 7-day trip to Seoul (we made a return day trip here, taking the KTX and Mugunghwa at 9 am from Seoul and back to Seoul, slightly past midnight). It was worth the numerous attempts on Korail website to reserve the tickets as up to two weeks before, no suitable tickets were available, and just one week before the trip, we managed to reserve them online.
If only Trip Advisor could let me rate this 7 stars, I would.

The best time to visit is late March/ early April when the cherry blossoms flourish. Take the subway to Sasang station and then the long distance bus to Jinhae. From the bus station, walk to Yeojwacheon. It has a long stream with numerous crossing bridges. There is not much water in the stream so one can walk close to the stream. Avoid going there on the weekends or April 1 when the crowds are huge. The decorative lights come on at around 7 pm and the place is stunning. Leave by 8 pm to walk back to the Jinhae bus station to catch the last bus. One should see the cherry blossoms in the afternoon and then continue on to see them at night, to gain the full experience of the excitement. There are big crowds during the cherry blossom period (late March to early April) but the place is quite orderly (the visitors have good manners and do not push around).

It was fortunate that our trip to Seoul was just in time for the blooming of Cherry Blossoms at Yeojwacheon Stream.
To get to this wonderful place, go to Seoul station. From there, locate the Korail ticket booth. Remember your destination route should be SEOUL TO MASAN TO JINHAE. It is just a one way ride and though there are stops in between, your final exit is at Jinhae. You don't have to transfer from one train to another. From Jinhae station, you can walk all the way to Yeojwacheon Stream.
Don't worry, they have lots of booths for tourists asking for directions who can speak english and are very courteous.
Just to play safe, from Seoul Station buy a round trip ticket, not unless you are planning on an overnight stay. In our case, since our plan is to wander for just one whole day, we already bought tickets round trip to avail seats.
Though it was a bit crowded, a lot of the groups come from tours so they do not really stay long due to time constraint.
After the Yeojwacheon Stream, make sure to visit the Ecological Park, which is also a free attraction. Also a very beautiful place to just walk and admire God's creations.

The whole stream was covered by Cherry Blossoms and they even decorated it with artworks, there was a lit of food stalls on the street next to the stream, I would suggest to come here in the morning during the festival to avoid the crowded scene. Definitely one of the most magical experience I've ever had. :)

During cherry blossom period, do come early in the morning before the crowd arrives. You'll get great photos / landscape scenaries as 1) there are less (or really a few) people and 2) petals of flowers will still be on the ground/walkway. The negative side is you'll not be able to get photos of the decorations with lights.
We reached at about 10am and it was drizzling. We got great photos in the morning. The next day we came again in the evening to get photos with lights. Hence, we could compare. There were just too many people in the evening. The end of stream near Jinhae Train station side will have all the decorations like the colourful heart shapes, colourful umbrellas and floats. You can only walk on the road level and take photos from the top. The 2nd half of the stream, there are pathways where you can walk at the bottom along the stream. This is where we got great landscape photos.
The best time to visit this stream is during the annual cherry blossom festival week. It was like a fair - many vendors along road selling food/drinks. There are also two tents managed by the tourism organization. Staff are very helpful. One of the tents provide help in English.
Near the start of the steam, there is a road perpendicular to the stream (where there is a high school). There are rows of cherry blossom trees and benches along the road which would also good for photo taking.

Multitude of cherry blossom trees are lined on each side of Yeojwa Stream, forming a tunnel with pretty pink roof.. making it one of the top destinations in South Korea during Spring, well not to mention it was one of the locations of the Koreanovela "Romance" - the reason why there's this so-called "Romance Bridge".
From Busan, take the bus from Seobu Bus Station bound for Hadong/Jinhae (Jinhae Intercity Bus Station is the last stop). Fare is W5100 and it will take an hour or so to reach Jinhae.
You can take a cab from Jinhae Bus Station. But if you can, it's best to take a stroll going to the stream. It may take up to 30 minutes leisure walk, but since Jinhae's streets are actually packed with cherry blossoms, you won't notice the time. You will pass by their City Center, where the festivities actually happen - lots of events and FOOD! And then you'll pass by Jinhae Tower as well where you can see a 360-view of the town.
From Jinhae Intercity Bus Station (last stop for the Bus coming from Busan - Seobu Bus Station), just walk back to where the bus came from... walk straight until you reach the intersection where the supermarket is. Cross the road then continue walking to your left towards Jinhae Train Station... right after the train station, turn right on the first block.

I visited Jinhae during the traditional Cherry Blossom Festival and was blown away at the amount of cherry blossom trees there. The tone was transformed into a big party where everyone was enjoying the festivities. After making my way through thousands of Koreans taking selfies with lovers or by themselves, I finally saw the stream and can vouch that it is very selfie worthy! A must to see if you are in Korea during the festival period.

I’m planning to visit Jinhae for cherry blossom on the first week of April and I understand the traffic would be crazy during that time. As I’ll be traveling with a young kid, my first preference is to stay for one night nearby. Does anyone have any hotel recommendation as I can’t find any hotel nearby (in walking distance).

Hi I want to go to the cherry blossom festival on April 1. I read many suggestions that taking train from either Changwon or Masan to Jinhae should be easier as traffic will be very heavy. However, when I check on the Korea Rail website, it says no train available!! Can someone please advise if the Jinhae train station is still in service? And how can I book the ticket if the website won't work? Thanks alot!!
Written 6 March 2017
April 1 will be extremely busy in the Changwon/ Jinhae areas. There may also be traffic control and taking a taxi is not a solution. Last year I went to Jinhae end of March and the taxi taking me to Changwon station (normally 5-7 minutes) got stuck at Jinhae for 20 minutes and I simply got out of the taxi. Try to go to Jinhae by taking the long distance bus from Sasang Station and buy the return ticket upon arrival. The ticket does not limit you to any particular time of the day. One could take a bus from Changwon (near the entrance) to Jinhae; best to have the T-Money card handy. The train at Changwon station is not moving; it is there for tourists to take pictures (a good way to make money out of tourism). Both Changwon and Jinhae are very old stations kept for photo-taking. Good luck.

Is it worth going here in May when there are no blooming cherry blossoms? I'll be in Busan and not sure if I should make this small trip or not.
Written 5 April 2016
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here in Changwon now. It is worthwhile to visit here. But you should endure the traffic jam especially at weekends. I heard that free shuttle buses are runnung this year but this has not been effective.
