El templo Jogyesa es el núcleo del budismo zen en Corea, en él se encuentran la oficina principal de administración del budismo coreano y la sala en donde se realiza la asamblea general, entre otras instalaciones. Fue construido hacia finales del siglo XIV (época de Goryeo) en el interior del actual parque Susong, pero fue destruido (en un período indeterminado) debido a un incendio, y fue reconstruido en el año 1910. A lo largo de su historia ha tomado varios nombres, hasta que recibió la denominación de Jogyesa en el año 1954. El nombre deriva del monte Jogyesan, el cual fue el lugar en donde meditó el monje Hyeneungdaesa. Fue uno de los monjes más respetados, por lo cual sus enseñanzas y su vida han sido objeto de estudio a lo largo de la historia. En el altar del templo Jogyesa, al ser el lugar más sagrado y honrado del budismo en Corea, se llevan a cabo eventos, ceremonias y ritos durante todo el año. El edificio próximo al altar principal es la oficina general de administración del budismo coreano, es decir, es un organismo que ejerce las actividades de control y ejecución, por lo que también se efectúan gran cantidad de eventos budistas. Dentro del edificio se establecen las salas de exposiciones y la imprenta, que edita e imprime semanarios budistas. En el patio principal del templo se sitúa la pagoda de piedra de 7 pisos, construida en el año 1930. En especial, dentro de la pagoda se encuentran enterradas las cenizas de Buda, que fueron traídas en el año 1914 por un monje esrilanqués. Hacia la izquierda se encuentra instalado el campanario, que posee un gran tambor, una campana e instrumentos tradicionales de madera que se utilizan en el templo. Al otro lado del campanario está el primer centro cultural académico, construido en el año 1991, en donde se realizan seminarios, actuaciones, ceremonias de boda, conciertos musicales y exposiciones, entre otros eventos culturales.

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. Inwoo House, which has the typical style of hanok in the area, features a cozy yard, a toenmaru (narrow wooden porch running along the outside of the building), and several charming decorative items. It has three rooms – Tokki-bang and Haejanggeum-bang situated in Sarangchae (a detached building) and Nori-bang, which is a communal space. Due to its quiet location, guests can enjoy relaxation with a serene atmosphere in their rooms, which are decorated with calligraphic works and furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl in a simple way. Each room is equipped with a bathroom. The guesthouse offers breakfast such as toast or tteokguk (rice cake soup). Inwoo House is an ideal place to stay for guests with children as the owner couple have children with whom children can play in the alley, yard, or toenmaru with an interesting hanok environment. The guesthouse also provides various traditional activities including traditional Korean clothes experience, traditional Hanji (Korean paper) craft experience, traditional knot bracelet making, and fan decorating, which are popular among foreign tourists and children. It is adjacent to restaurants, coffee shops, convenience store, and other tourist attractions including Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Insa-dong, and Samcheong-dong.
