Tohamsan, Mountain summit in Gyeongju, South Korea
Tohamsan rises to 745 meters above sea level within Gyeongju National Park, offering views of the Sea of Japan and Gyeongju Basin.
During the Silla period, Tohamsan, known as Dongak, served as a guardian mountain where government officials conducted ceremonial rituals for national prosperity.
The mountain slopes contain two significant Buddhist heritage sites from the Silla dynasty: the Bulguksa temple and Seokguram grotto, both displaying architectural excellence.
The designated T1 hiking trail leads visitors through various difficulty levels to reach the summit, requiring proper hiking equipment and weather-appropriate clothing.
Tohamsan stands as the most prominent peak among 14 mountains in Gyeongju National Park, with a total prominence of 670 meters from base to summit.
