How this map gets made

Digging Route is built by someone who used to dig through scattered reviews and blog posts to plan their own routes, for everyone else doing that same work. The principle is simple: never hide where the information came from or when it was checked.

Maps and opening hours come from Google Maps. Please check again before you set out.
Where a link is an affiliate link, we label it as advertising.
Korean is the source language. The Japanese, English and Chinese versions are machine translations that have been edited by hand, so nuance may differ.
