The Korea's largest "hanok (traditional Korean house)" village in the middle of Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do has been there for hundreds of years. Today, you can see new as well as old houses there. “Inyeon” is one of the traditional Korean houses located near the public parking lot on the outskirts of the hanok village, making it a great place to stay overnight in quiet. The word "inyeon" means "relationship" in Korean, referring to all types of ties with other people. The owner of the guesthouse named the place as such because she is greatful for all the guests and wanted to treat them well. She opened the guesthouse in September 2014. Since then, she has been kind enough to tell her guests which places are good to visit and which foods are delicious. She makes sure all the facilities including sheets and blankets are maintained clean for her guests to have a memorable stay. Built in the 1960's and remodeled in 2008, the traditional house is neat with most of the traditional features. It has four guestrooms named "Apricot Flower", "Orchid", "Chrysenthemum", and "Bamboo". The "Orchid Room" and "Bamboo Room" can accommodate up to seven people. The floor is covered with lacquered traditional Korean paper, and there are a number of traditional items in the room including the Korean gong.

All the rooms are furnished with a bathroom, air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, toiletries, and hair dryer. There is a 200-year-old pomegranate tree in the yard, and a table and chairs right in front of it for the guests to relax on a fair day. The table made of an old door and chairs made of a log under the red pomegranates are one of the most outstanding features of this guesthouse.

Ce village traditionnel situé dans la ville de Jeonju s’étend sur une partie des quartiers Pungnam-dong and Gyo-dong et compte près de 800 maisons traditionnelles ou « hanok ». Alors que le reste de la ville a été modernisée, ce village dans la ville est resté tel quel et conserve toujours ses anciennes traditions.
La beauté du village de hanok de Jeonju réside principalement dans l’élégance des courbures de ses toits. Les bords des toits remontent légèrement vers le ciel, c’est la particularité des hanok. Généralement les hanok se divisent en deux parties dénommées anchae et sarangchae ; le anchae étant le domaine réservé à la femme et donc meublé en conséquence, le sarangchae étant la partie où réside l’homme. Alors que hommes et femmes vivaient séparement, le anchae se situait au fond de la maison, dans une partie plus calme et en retrait. Une autre caractèristique des hanok est le ondol, un système de chauffage par le sol. En effet, les Coréens s’asseyaient, mangeaient et dormaient sur le sol, ce système de chauffage était finalement nécessaire.
La structure du ondol, se compose de plusieurs foyers situés sous le sol surélevé de la maison, la chaleur émise par ces foyers chemine dans un circuit couvrant la surface des pièces.
L’architecture des hanok assuraient donc la chaleur pour les hivers rigoureux mais apporter aussi de la fraîcheur l’été avec une pièce centrale composée de plancher.

Il s’agit d’un restaurant de nouilles traditionnelles aimé des habitants de Jeonju Hanok Village depuis plus de 40 ans, ouvert en 1977. L’établissement est réputé pour son bouillon épais et onctueux, mijoté longtemps, auquel sont ajoutés du perilla (sésame sauvage), de la viande et des œufs.
Les nouilles utilisées ne sont pas les larges nouilles ordinaires, mais des nouilles fines à la texture ferme et élastique. Le plat est garni de poudre de perilla, de piment et d’algues séchées, offrant un goût et une présentation constants au fil des années.
Outre les kalguksu (nouilles coupées au couteau), le restaurant propose des nouilles froides au soja (kongguksu) au goût riche et onctueux, ainsi que des mandu (raviolis) généreusement garnis, qui accompagnent parfaitement les nouilles. Avec chaque commande, du danmuji (radis mariné jaune) et du kimchi de radis en dés (kkakdugi) sont servis ; ce dernier est préparé maison avec des radis d’hiver de Jeju, ce qui lui confère un goût encore meilleur.
◎ Informations sur la Hallyu : ce restaurant est l’un des établissements fréquentés par les acteurs du drama Vingt-cinq, vingt et un. L’actrice principale, Kim Tae-ri, y est venue pour son petit-déjeuner lors du tournage de son vlog, attirant l’attention en dégustant son bol sans en laisser une seule nouille. Tout près se trouve aussi "2521 Guesthouse", la maison d’hôte ayant servi de résidence à Hee-do dans le drama, qui vaut une visite après le repas.

Yeohangga is a guesthouse owned and run by a woman who majored in early childhood education and who has been teaching children for over 20 years. The name means "A home for a happy trip," she says. It’s a unique guesthouse since the owner offers various traditional educational games. The cozy and comfortable guesthouse is a traditional Korean house built in March 2013 at a site where an old house used to be. The main building and detached building are divided by the ridge of the roof with beautiful rafters. There is another meaning to the name of the guesthouse: "a house where the woman is happy." She named it as such for a good reason. She used to live in Seoul when her parents advised her to move to Jeonju and run a guesthouse, leaving her husband and child behind. At first, she considered accepting only female guests, but it wasn't an option since most of the people visiting Jeonju are couples and groups of friends. Instead, she made sure the guesthouse is safe for women while building the house. Many female tourists traveling alone find this a great feature of the guesthouse because they feel safer during their stay. For one, she installed three doors for the rooms (1 transparent door, 1 opaque glass door, and a traditional Korean door). Not only do the guests feel safer; the rooms are also well-insulated thanks to the triple doors. The floors and walls are covered with traditional Korean paper coated with soybean oil, which is very environment-friendly. In the four rooms named “Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” and “Winter,” there are many toys and materials for traditional Korean cognition games, such as “Chilgyo Game,” “Gonu Game,” and “Mabangjin.” It’s very likely that even Koreans have never heard of these games. The owner of the guesthouse chose these games specifically because they are perfect for children to play in a traditional Korean house. She teaches her little guests how to play the games. “Chilgyo Game” involves making a shape with 7 to 20 pieces, whereas “Gonu Game” is similar to the game of Chinese chess. "Mabangjin" is a type of IQ game that involves laying down a total of nine different numbers in three rows and columns so that the sum of the three numbers is identical when added horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Many guests find these games interesting, and the owner of the guesthouse finds joy in teaching these games to as many families as possible. She recently took over another traditional Korean guesthouse called "Samrakheon" near the Jeonju Oriental Medicine Center. It's a stand-alone guesthouse for groups and families, and she uses the place to teach traditional games to more people.

The house has five rooms, and only the “Meomulda Room” on the first floor is the only rooms with a living room separated from the bedroom. All you have to do is open the door to enjoy the view of the yard, Hanok Village, and Omokdae. The “Nanuda Room” on the second floor is the largest one that can accommodate more than five people, making it the most popular choice among families. The "Damda Room" and "Kkumkkuda Room" both have an attic that can be reached by a ladder. The attic is big enough to sleep two adults, and some guests actually sleep there for a unique experience. One of the walls of the attic is finished with cypress wood which has a pleasant scent. The “Geurida Room” has the best view through the two windows on the either side of the room, in addition to warm sunlight and cool wind that come through the window. Modern, not traditional, doors are installed in all the rooms for better sound proofing and insulation.
