Tamna’s founding myth at a pond in Onpyeong-ri
Honinji is a pond associated with Tamna’s founding myth, in which three divine founders held their weddings here. Distinguish the myth from verified historical events, and explore how a Jeju village has passed on the story of this place.
The site is also described as connected to the myth of Samseonghyeol. Viewing the traditional buildings and pond together shows how names from the myth remain in the actual landscape and village.
Plan a pond walk and seasonal flower viewing together
Spring cherry blossoms and summer hydrangeas and lotus flowers are mentioned, but flowering varies each year. Even in seasons with few flowers, plan a cultural walk among the pond, trees and traditional spaces.
The suggested 45 minutes–1 hour is an editorial estimate for a leisurely walk along paths open to visitors. Check separate dates and booking conditions for guided interpretation, festivals and wedding events; a general visit does not guarantee an activity experience.
Explore the legend with family and protect the pond
With children, briefly discuss the mythical wedding and the story behind the village’s name. Do not enter flower beds or pose dangerously at the pond’s edge for photos.
Follow on-site guidance for indoor areas, traditional buildings and event spaces. Observe the water and plants without collecting anything or entering the pond, and enjoy a quiet walk.
