The main building in Seoul is a traditional Korean cultural space renovated by Jeong Yeong-jin, a human cultural asset, from a hanok with a history of 130 years. Traditional flags, fences, pavilions, chimneys, and jangdokdae are holding the blue sky with pine trees, creating a harmonious Korean-style house. Passing through the elegant tall gate, as you see the jangdokdae, a small but clean hanok will be revealed, and the pine trees and bamboo trees added to the natural beauty, while the loving Gomusin placed on the stone brings back beautiful memories.
Rakkojae is a place where the customs of the aristocrats in the past are melted in various places, creating a wonderful atmosphere by carefully reviving the pavilion, ponds, and daecheongmaru. Especially, Daecheongmaru adds the beauty of the margins of hanok to give you a sense of refreshment. As the old scholars did, sitting on the pavilion makes the time flow slow and the wind that passes over the Sotdae feels special.
In addition, you can experience the beauty of Korean tradition with various programs such as tea ceremony, jjimjilbang, royal robes, and kimchi-making along with traditional Korean food. Rakkojae's accommodation, reminiscent of a nobleman's house in the Joseon Dynasty, is well-kept and comfortable that it is comparable to a luxury hotel, and the natural jade-covered ondol rooms and firewood jjimjilbangs made of cheongito provide a healthy journey for many guests.

Run by a couple hailing from Bukchon, Inwoo House is located in an alleyway in Gye-dong, Jongno-gu, which is part of Bukchon that is well-known for old hanok houses. Inwoo House, meaning 'the house of Inwoo,' is inhabited by the owner couple and eight-year-old son Inwoo and his younger brother Yeonwoo. The couple, who have always lived in Bukchon, moved to Inwoo House in 2010; their parents run another guesthouse -- Yeonwoo House -- in Gahoe-dong, which isn’t far from Inwoo House. These two hanok guesthouses seek to provide guests with an opportunity to experience the true aspect of traditional Korean house amid the natural environment.

Insa-dong, situado en el corazón de la ciudad, es un lugar importante donde se intercambian artículos antiguos, pero valiosos. En la zona de Insa-dong hay una calle principal con un laberinto de callejuelas que se despliegan a cada lado. En aquellas callejuelas hay galerías, restaurantes tradicionales, casas de té tradicional y cafés. Las tiendas en Insa-dong son muy populares entre los grupos de todas las edades gracias al ambiente singular y único que ofrece cada una de ellas.
Las galerías de arte son el mismísimo latir del corazón de Insa-dong. En él hay un centenar de galerías donde se pueden contemplar todo tipo de ejemplares de las bellas artes de Corea, desde pinturas hasta esculturas. Entre las galerías de arte más famosas se encuentran la Galería Hakgojae, que funciona como el centro de arte folclórico; la Galería Gana, que promueve a muchos artistas de talentos prometedores, y el Centro de Arte Gana.
Las casas de té y los restaurantes complementan perfectamente las galerías de bellas artes. Al principio podrá resultar difícil hallarlos, pero si se toma el tiempo suficiente para recorrer las pequeñas calles serpenteantes, la “búsqueda” en sí puede llegar a ser divertida. En caso de que deseara elegir una sola casa de té de las cientas que hay aquí, Gwicheon podría llegar a ser el lugar ideal para conocer. La esposa del poeta Cheon Sang-byeong es su propietaria. El lugar no es muy grande, pero allí podrá ver fotos y libros de poetas famosos. El té de membrillo es el mejor de esta casa y es famoso por su fragancia.
Todos los domingos está prohibido el acceso de los coches a las calles del área de 10:00 a 22:00 por ordenanza municipal, de modo que el lugar se convierte en un espacio cultural. Precisamente este es el momento en el que los comercios se vuelcan fuera a exhibir sus artículos. No solo las tiendas que están aquí sino también gente de todas partes viene aquí e instala puestos de comercio ambulante. De todos estos se pueden mencionar, como ejemplo, los vendedores de dulces coreanos y los adivinos ancianos.
También se desarrollan interpretaciones de obras tradicionales y exhibiciones. Insa-dong es especialmente popular entre los turistas extranjeros, pues aquí pueden ver y vivir directamente la experiencia de la cultura tradicional coreana, y también porque pueden adquirir piezas de bellas artes. En la calle podrá probar melcochas coreanas y el tradicional pajeon (tortilla coreana), y ver a numerosos extranjeros sumidos en las alegres festividades.
