The Hanok
Jeonju, South Korea · Independent · Near Luxury
From the courtyard you can see Jeondong Cathedral and Omokdae, which is how you know you are in the middle of Jeonju Hanok Village. One family has kept this south-facing lot for three generations. They rebuilt the house in 1975 in the manner of a Joseon yangban home: cypress, red clay, hanji paper, and two old chimneys over a yard wide enough for tea in the moonlight. Seven rooms. The largest, Gwibin, puts a king bed on ondol and adds a massage bed. Breakfast is rice cake, fruit, and tea.
- 7 rooms
- Neighborhood: Gyo-dong
About The Hanok
- The other rooms have names: Eoullim, about 40 square meters and up to eight people; Jeongnanum; Supsok, the forest room; and three small Byeol rooms.
- The stay carries a Korea Quality mark. The hosts speak English and Chinese, and the yard is the wide one for this village: about 123 pyeong of land, a building of about 53.
- Pungnammun, the hyanggyo, and Jeonju Stream are about a five-minute walk, and so is a public lot. Plan on that lot. A space of your own at the house is not something to count on.
