In addition, the "eyebrow" roof was added as protection from the frequent rain. The house is mainly visited by families on weekends and research organizations on weekdays. Visitors can enjoy various healing and cultural activities in the trekking course of Mt. Geumwonsan and the Suseungdae Amusement Park, which are 1km away.
