Dangjin City has deepened exchanges with Seogwipo City in Jeju-do Province, South Korea, the birthplace of Olle, as a sister city. In the Dangjin course, you can enjoy the "history and culture" of the Momoyama culture centered on the ruins of Nagoya Castle, the "scenery" of the Genkai Sea seen from Cape Hato, and the "taste" of grilled turban shells and abalone.
