    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Choose village, restaurant or Ganworam

      Ganwoldo is a mainland-connected village and tourism area. The hermitage's tidal footpath, each restaurant and any festival programme use separate conditions.

    2. 02
      Match Ganworam safely

      Use the city's live tide link and on-site barriers if entering the hermitage. The village itself does not close because the tidal path is covered.

    3. 03
      Confirm merchant details

      Ask the named restaurant about opening, final order, oyster origin, current price, portion, allergens and cross-contact rather than treating the whole village as one market.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    No. The village is road-connected. The tidal condition applies to the final Ganworam footpath and nearby shore areas.

    Are the operating details for Ganwoldo Village live?

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before arrival

      Choose village, restaurant or Ganworam

      Ganwoldo is a mainland-connected village and tourism area. The hermitage's tidal footpath, each restaurant and any festival programme use separate conditions.

    2. 02
      Around the selected tide

      Match Ganworam safely

      Use the city's live tide link and on-site barriers if entering the hermitage. The village itself does not close because the tidal path is covered.

    3. 03
      Before ordering seafood

      Confirm merchant details

      Ask the named restaurant about opening, final order, oyster origin, current price, portion, allergens and cross-contact rather than treating the whole village as one market.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Save the restaurant and Ganworam as separate map stops so tide planning does not create a false village closing time.
    • Ask before photographing residents, fish preparation, homes or close-up price boards.
    • Plan the return before sunset crowds and never wait on the tidal approach for the final light change.
    • Search “서산 간월도마을” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Check rain, wind, waves and any access or transport notice on the day.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
