Moon and his wife, Kim Jung-sook, were greeted by Kim and his wife, Ri Sol-ju at Pyongyang's airport on Tuesday.
The two leaders are expected to hold meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, and jointly announce the results on the last day if things go smoothly.
Before his departure from Seoul, Moon said he intended to push for "irreversible, permanent peace" and for better dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington.
"This summit would be very meaningful if it yielded a resumption of North Korea-US talks," he said.
"It's very important for South and North Korea to meet frequently, and we are turning to a phase where we can meet anytime we want."
