BUKCHON (Bukchon, Buk Chon, 북촌) HANOK Village.

It is between 
Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung palace. 
Enjoy the harmony. 


Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, 
Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, 
Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of 
traditional houses called 'hanok' 
that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. 

The name, 'Bukchon,' which literally translates 
to 'northern village,' came about as the neighborhoods 
that the village covers lie to the north of 
the two significant Seoul landmarks, 
Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. 

Today, many of these hanoks operate as 
cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants 
and tea houses, providing an opportunity 
to experience, learn and immerse 
in Korean traditional culture.










Venue :  Gahoe-dong, Jae-dong, Samcheong-dong, 
Gye-dong, Wonseo-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul-si  

Near by subway station : Anguk exit No.2, Line No. 3
