"Nami Island is an independent country within Korea. It is officially called The Naminara Republic. It has its own diplomatic and cultural policies and is self-governing. The citizens of the island are called the Naminarians. It even has its own national flag with a moon and compass-shaped star portraying the Oriental sentiment and environmentally-friendly image of Nami Island. Just like other countries, they also have their national anthem and passport. How cool is that? So when you visit Nami Island, you are literally in another country within a country.

"Nami Island is a popular day trip spot for locals and tourists alike for its tree-lined paths and during autumn a top destination for fall foliage enthusiasts.
The easiest and most popular way to reach Nami Island is by joining a day trip tour. Reaching Nami Island from Seoul isn’t the easiest day trip since there are no direct bus or train connections. If you decide to visit independently you’ll need to organise multiple modes of transit and make several transfers.
If you're looking at booking at tour or transport look at the hyperlinks I've attached. These tours organise transport to Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm and Alpaca World (or the Gangchon Rail Bike). "

"A picturesque escape, Nami Island is known for its tree-lined paths, seasonal beauty, and romantic vibes. Pair this with The Garden of Morning Calm, a stunning botanical garden perfect for leisurely strolls and jaw-dropping photos.
Tip
While most visitors focus on the main paths of Nami Island, rent a bike and explore the quieter corners where you’ll find peaceful picnic spots and fewer crowds.
Getting There
Take the ITX-Cheongchun train from Yongsan Station to Gapyeong Station, then hop on the Gapyeong Shuttle Bus."
