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.

El barrio de Insa-dong, situado en el corazón de la ciudad, es un lugar importante donde se intercambian artículos antiguos, pero valiosos. En la zona de Insa-dong hay una calle principal con un laberinto de callejuelas que se despliegan a cada lado. En aquellas callejuelas hay galerías, restaurantes tradicionales, casas de té tradicional y cafés. Las tiendas en Insa-dong son muy populares entre los grupos de todas las edades gracias al ambiente singular y único que ofrece cada una de ellas.
Las galerías de arte son el mismísimo latir del corazón de Insa-dong. En él hay un centenar de galerías donde se pueden contemplar todo tipo de ejemplares de las bellas artes de Corea, desde pinturas hasta esculturas. Entre las galerías de arte más famosas se encuentran la Galería Hakgojae, que funciona como el centro de arte folclórico; la Galería Gana, que promueve a muchos artistas de talentos prometedores, y el Centro de Arte Gana.
Las casas de té y los restaurantes complementan perfectamente las galerías de bellas artes. Al principio podrá resultar difícil hallarlos, pero si se toma el tiempo suficiente para recorrer las pequeñas calles serpenteantes, la “búsqueda” en sí puede llegar a ser divertida. En caso de que deseara elegir una sola casa de té de las cientas que hay aquí, Gwicheon podría llegar a ser el lugar ideal para conocer. La esposa del poeta Cheon Sang-byeong es su propietaria. El lugar no es muy grande, pero allí podrá ver fotos y libros de poetas famosos. El té de membrillo es el mejor de esta casa y es famoso por su fragancia.
Todos los domingos está prohibido el acceso de los coches a las calles del área de 10:00 a 22:00 por ordenanza municipal, de modo que el lugar se convierte en un espacio cultural. Precisamente este es el momento en el que los comercios se vuelcan fuera a exponer sus artículos. No solo las tiendas que están aquí sino también gente de todas partes viene aquí e instala puestos de comercio ambulante. De todos estos se pueden mencionar, como ejemplo, los vendedores de dulces coreanos y los adivinos ancianos.
También se desarrollan interpretaciones de obras tradicionales y exhibiciones. Insa-dong es especialmente popular entre los turistas extranjeros, pues aquí pueden ver y vivir directamente la experiencia de la cultura tradicional coreana, y también porque pueden adquirir piezas de bellas artes. En la calle podrá probar melcochas coreanas y el tradicional pajeon (tortilla coreana), y ver a numerosos extranjeros sumidos en las alegres festividades.
