taxi tour around Incheon Airport to Yonggungsa Temple
We have a 5 hour layover at Incheon airport arriving at 5:30 am in April. We were wondering if we could get a taxi driver at the airport to take us around to see Yonggungsa Temple (read that it is lit up with lanterns on the steps at night)and then maybe stop in at a Korean restaurant for breakfast. We know we won't have a lot of time but thought it would be nice to get out of the airport before the long flight back to the US. Has anyone done this and know approximate cost for a private taxi for an hour or two? The airport transit tours do not start until 8 or 9 am which would be too late for us.

I was confused by the temple names. I saw that there is a one hour transit tour to Younggungsa Temple which is supposed to be 20 minutes from Incheon airport.( There is also a similar named temple which has the lanterns that is near Busan). I just realized the temple does not open until 9 am but maybe we can drive by it. Here is the transit tour description:
