Gyodong Gaon is located right in the middle of the main street of Jeonju Hanok Village. The word "gaon" means "middle" in Korean. It's a two-story traditional Korean house that stands out among the rest of the traditional Korean houses in the alley leading to Omokdae. Just inside the gate is a yard with colorful flower trees, jars of sauces, and furnace. The mural on one of the walls is popular among the guests as a place to take photos.
The "numaru", or "loft" in Korean, overlooks the Hanok Village, and is one of the best places in the village to get a closer look at the 500 year old zelkova tree and the foot of the mountain nearby. Open to all the guests, the "numaru" is very popular during the winter as well as the summer. It's an open space with a wooden floor, so it's very cool during the summer, and it also serves as an observatory to enjoy the view of all the snow-covered trees and roofs in the Hanok Village during the winter while having a hot cup of tea.
The owner of the guesthouse has been living here for 37 years. He rebuilt his house and turned it into a hanok guesthouse in 2014 while making sure the rooms are well insulated and comfortable to stay.
He built a two-story building to make an efficient use of the space, and focused on making all the rooms look different. The house has five rooms, and only the “Meomulda Room” on the first floor is the only rooms with a living room separated from the bedroom. All you have to do is open the door to enjoy the view of the yard, Hanok Village, and Omokdae. The “Nanuda Room” on the second floor is the largest one that can accommodate more than five people, making it the most popular choice among families. The "Damda Room" and "Kkumkkuda Room" both have an attic that can be reached by a ladder. The attic is big enough to sleep two adults, and some guests actually sleep there for a unique experience. One of the walls of the attic is finished with cypress wood which has a pleasant scent. The “Geurida Room” has the best view through the two windows on the either side of the room, in addition to warm sunlight and cool wind that come through the window. Modern, not traditional, doors are installed in all the rooms for better sound proofing and insulation.
Gyodong Gaon offers a number of experience programs, such as traditional games like “gulleongsoe”, “tuho", and “Korean top”, As well as “sabang chigi”, “sampalseon”, and “ttangttameokgi”.
Many Korean adults are familiar with these games, while children and foreigners can find these games interesting. All these traditional Korean games are free to play.

Located in Jeonju Hanok Village, Yangsajae was the place where the poet Lee Byeong-gi (pen-name: Garam, sijo poet) composed his sijo (a Korean traditional poetic form) works. Now used as a cultural space, the house attracts many people looking for relaxation and cultural experiences.
Yangsajae, meaning “a house (jae) that cultivates (yang) classical scholars (sa)”, was an annex of the Jeonjuhyanggyo Confucian School where classical scholars used to study in preparation for the national civil service examinations. As an educational and creative place, Lee Byeong-gi composed sijo poems there for six years from 1951. It later served as the Jeonbuk Public Elementary School with the introduction of new learning to the Jeollabuk-do area in 1987. Since 2002, however, it has served as a hanok stay dedicated to promoting local history and traditions to the public. It is said that the building was constructed on a 400-year-old site about 150 years ago. In 1980, repair work was conducted to save the basic structure of the house.
The house is a typical ‘ㄱ’-shaped hanok structure with a half-hipped roof. In particular, the three dormitory rooms originally used by Confucian students and classical scholars can be converted into one single room for seminars, tea ceremonies, or other group meetings simply by opening the bunhapmun (sliding doors).
The guesthouse is a ‘ㅡ’-shaped hanok built in 1980. Each room has a clean and cozy interior with simple decoration and furniture. The rooms include the Gudeul (floor heated with firewood) Room, where the tea ceremony program using green tea leaves picked from the wild green tea field behind the house is held, and the Ondol (Korean floor heating system) Room.
As the poet Lee, who loved orchids, poems and alcohol, lived at Yangsajae, there are still traces of his former presence inside the house. Notably, Lee used the ‘Garamdasil’ room as his study room, so it displays some of his photos.
There is a postbox situated in a corner of the yard which the guests can use, and the owner will deliver the mail himself. Yangsajae is not only a hanok accommodation but also a multi-experience space where guests can discover traces of the old educational institute and the poet Lee’s life and works.

The Hanok was transformed into a new style of hanok by combining the traditional structure (built in 1975) with a modern hanok style. Located in Jeonju Hanok Village, this large hanok is composed of a ‘ㄱ’-shaped bonchae (main building, 7-kan*), a sarangchae (men’s quarters, 3-kan), a large courtyard, and a platform for crocks of sauces and condiments. The house accepts only a limited number of people so that guests can enjoy a relaxing stay amid a pleasant, spacious environment.
Each room is built with “well-being” construction materials such as Hinoki cypress wood, red clay, and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from the mulberry tree). As for the four rooms of the anchae (women’s quarters), ‘Gwibin’, the largest room, is suitable for two families. It is heated with the ondol system (Korean floor heating system), and has a body massager and two king-sized beds. ‘Eoulim’ has an attic and a high ceiling with exposed rafters and crossbeams. Both rooms are equipped with two bathrooms.
The ‘ㅡ’-shaped sarangchae opposite the courtyard has three guestrooms. In particular, ‘Byeolhana’ has a red clay bed with ondol heating; while ‘Byeolset’ features a bunkbed made of wooden materials originally used in the construction of the house.
The Hanok provides a ‘Moonlight tea meeting’ where guests can enjoy tea and conversation under the moonlight in the large courtyard.

La Catedral Católica de Jeon-dong fue construida en 1914 al estilo occidental y fue designada como Sitio Histórico. Es la estructura del estilo occidental más grande de las provincias de Jeollanam-do y Jeollabuk-do. La catedral es elegante con sus paredes de ladrillos y lo más encantador es la entrada y la torre de campana. La entrada de la iglesia tiene una forma arqueada que le da un toque bizantino, mientras que la pequeña torre de campana ubicada en el centro agrega una belleza singular. Desafortunadamente, algunas partes de la catedral fueron destruidas por un incendio en 1988.

Omokdae está situado en la cima de una colina y se trata de uno de los lugares donde Yi Seong-gye (quien se convirtiera más tarde en el rey Taejo, el primero de la dinastía Joseon) hizo una parada para celebrar su victoria de camino a casa tras la guerra contra los invasores japoneses, al final de la era Goryeo. Enfrente de Omokdae está Imokdae, situado cerca de los pies del monte Seungamsan, donde se encuentra Chimyeongjasan, un monumento católico. En este lugar, Mokjo (antepasado del rey Taejo) solía jugar con sus amigos a representar guerras de niño, una acción muy simple que aparecería después en 'Yongbieocheonga', una balada del siglo XV que narra los logros culturales de la nación.

Jeonjuhanok Korean House is a traditional Korean house built more than 60 years age, and it was recently remodeled for visitors to see and experience an old traditional Korean house. It’s conveniently located on the street called "Eunhaeng-ro" right in the middle of Jeonju Hanok Village for those visiting the area to take a tour of the hanok village. Although it's in the middle of the village, it's quiet inside because it's located at the end of a long, wide alley, which has the feel of an art gallery thanks to the lighting. There is a table in the yard in front of the ‘ㄱ’-shaped house. Behind the house is a café where breakfast is served. The house has an open space between the rooms called "toetmaru", which serves as a living room as in all traditional Korean houses. It’s where Koreans used to rest under the warm sunlight in the old days. The guests must pass through this "toetmaru" to get to the roms.
Jeonjuhanok Korean House has seven "ondol (floor-heated)” rooms with a loft. The rooms are clean and have a simple interior with a wooden ladder to the loft, which is a favorite place for most kids staying here with their parents. Each guestroom is furnished with a water purifier. The guesthouse serves toast, caffe Americano, fruits, and tea for breakfast.
