    Sunshine Full’s six studio units are all ondol rooms, meaning that they feature heated floors and are designed for bedding on floors. The rooms can accommodate 2 to 6 guests, depending on their size.

    Sunshine Full also offers four house units - three in Jeonju Hanok Village and one in the nearby Jaman Mural Village. Some are equipped with indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, and one is a two-story building. The unit I visited, House 1 [Yuyuhi], had recently reopened after renovations. It combines the elegance of hanok with modern design sensibilities. I was particularly impressed by the Jacuzzi.

    Hanok Moryeon

    There’s a saying in Korean “It’s just like my grandmother’s house out in the countryside” to describe a place that feels warm and comfortable. In Jeonju Hanok Village, Hanok Moryeon is that place. Its pebble-lined street floor, green garden, and large persimmon trees evoke the charm of idyllic rural homes in Korea.

    The indoor space is decorated with contemporary sensibilities. The bedroom, along with the view of the garden from the tea corner by the window wall, is simply picturesque.
    The indoor Jacuzzi bath, located next to toenmaru that leads to the garden, is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of travel.
