Visitors seeking a traditional housing and hospitality should try spending a night or more at a Korean traditional house called a ‘hanok.’ Referred to as living museums, hanoks contain in their layout and structure the history of ancient Korean architecture and society. A typical hanok is characterized by wooden pillars, mud walls, a daecheongmaru (wooden floor/porch) for temperature control during different seasons, and a courtyard or a garden.
Hanoks today are preserved in hanok villages, with the famous ones found in Andong and Jeonju. Combining the elegance of Korea’s past with modern amenities, many hanoks provide accommodation while offering cultural immersion programs for an enhanced Korean traditional living experience. Some of the hanoks have been transformed into teahouses that host dado (Korean tea ceremony) or ceramics programs.
We invite you to take a break from modern accommodation and experience the traditional housing and lifestyle at a hanok in some of the most famous hanok villages or hanokmaeul.
