New Year’s Day and my only resolution. ILSAN, South Korea — January 1 is Alfie’s birthday, and I had the day off, so when Nammin said her family was going to the bathhouse to start the year clean, I decided to take the dog to the local mountain. I believe in the Japanese concept of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, and hiking on the first day of the year was a way for us to begin 2025 fresh, too. The trailhead to our local mountain, Gobongsan, is about four city blocks from our apartment.

We drove up to a playground at the DMZ, one of the most heavily militarized areas in the world. Fall is the clear winner for the best season in this country. The days are warm and the mornings and nights are cool. The ginkgo and maple trees have been changing through the spectrum of autumn colors, and with no snow or much wind to clear away the leaves, they’ve stayed colorful for weeks. It’s great weather for walking and cafes and eating the orange persimmons that are in season.
