Chojabaru Visitor Center is a hub for learning about the unique ecology of Aso-Kuju National Park. The center features high-definition videos showcasing Kuju's four seasons, large-scale satellite images, and exhibits about the region’s flora, fauna, and traditional grassland burning (noyaki), a practice conducted every March. Commentary is available in English, Chinese, and Korean.

Tadewara Marsh Walking Trail

From the first floor of the visitor center, you can access the Tadewara Marsh Walking Trail, a designated Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention. The trail offers:

  • A 45-minute loop: Explore wetlands, forested areas, and wooden boardwalks.

  • Accessibility: The boardwalk section is wheelchair-friendly, making the area welcoming to all visitors.

As you hike, you'll encounter Kuju's distinct flora and fauna while enjoying panoramic views of the marsh and surrounding mountains. The combination of conservation education at the visitor center and the serene hike through the marsh creates a memorable experience for nature lovers.
