It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon. After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other. The guestrooms and the main floored room on the ground floor are open to guests, with the exception of the first floor, which is used by the owner couple. The living room is equipped with books, a curved TV, and a table. The tasty meal, which is served in the kitchen, consists of rice and soup with six side dishes and is much loved by guests.

La rue d’Insa-dong, classée district culturel en avril 2002, est un haut lieu de tradition et de culture avec ses nombreuses galleries d’art, antiquaires et boutiques de livres anciens. Le festival de l’art et de la culture coréens d’Insa-dong est de plus en plus apprécié pour ses manifestations mettant en valeur les particularités d’Insa-dong. Le festival de l’art et de la culture coréens de Insa, sponsorisé par la Société pour la préservation de la culture et des traditions de Insa, fête cette année ses 20 ans.

Programme des manifestations : Depuis ses débuts en 1987, les attractions et spectacles du festival de l’art et de la culture coréens de Insa a largement contribué à faire connaître Insa-dong comme un lieu incontournable de la culture et de la tradition. Le festival perpétue l’héritage prospère d’Insa-dong et permet aux visiteurs de participer à diverses activités. Deux festivals permettent de fignoler l’image d’Insa-dong comme rue des galeries d’art : Le festival des antiquités d’art expose des céramiques, des peintures anciennes rares, des objets populaires en bois ; et les merveilles de l’art contemporain sont mises en scène lors du festival de l’art moderne. .
De nombreuses autres manifestations passionnantes apportent au visiteur une bouffée de la Corée de jadis : la seconde présentation d’un mariage coréen traditionnel, l’ancienne parade du chef de la police appelée Pododaejang, un concert de Gayageum pour chanter en choeur, du Samullori, la danse pour la paix Taepyeongmu, la danse des Gisaengs Gyobangmu, un concert de chants folkloriques, etc. .
Durant le festival, les visiteurs peuvent s’initier à tous les aspects de la culture coréenne : des ateliers permettent de découvrir la céramique et la fabrication d’objets à partir de paille, de tracer au pinceau des préceptes familiaux, de peindre des portraits de famille, et de piler la farine de riz selon la méthode traditionnelle. Mais c’est la braderie surprise d’antiquités qui remporte le plus grand succès. On peut y acheter des antiquités pour seulement 10 000 wons environ. C’est une opportunité exceptionnelle pour acquérir de très beaux objets anciens à un prix intéressant, et c’est possible uniquement durant le festival Insa.

A la une du festival : On trouve pas moins de 362 biens culturels aux alentours d’Insa-donc, parmi lesquels des anciens palais royaux, des sanctuaires ancestraux, des autels dédiés aux divinités d’Etat, le temple bouddhiste de l’ordre de Jogye, le parc de Tapgol, le pavillon de la cloche de Bosingak et la porte de Heunginjimun, aussi les visiteurs peuvent découvrir des hauts lieux de l’histoire coréenne tout en profitant du festival.
Insa-dong est également appréciée des touristes pour ses multiples spectacles, distractions et restaurants réputés. Ne manquez pas non plus à proximité la rue de la jeunesse à Gwancheol-dong, le centre commercial des instruments de musique à Nagwon-dong et la rue des restaurants de Haejangguk (une soupe souveraine contre la gueule de bois) à Cheongjin-dong.
