Girin-daero 55, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-do.
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.

Buyongheon is located in Jeonju Hanok Village. Precisely speaking, Buyongheon is the very next door to Jeonju Hyanggyo (Confucian Temple and School). Across the alley are Jeonju Hyanggyo Culture Center and Wanpanbon Culture Center. If you walk a few more steps, you will reach Jeonju Hanbyeok Culture Center where you can see various performances and experience the culture and foods of Jeonju. Omokdae can be seen from the garden of Buyongheon. Across the Jeonjucheon Stream is the National Intangible Heritage Center.
The beginning of Buyongheon is deeply related with Jeonju Hyanggyo. In around 1935, the local bureaucrats lived around the Hyanggyo after building 12 houses one after another. Most of them came from rich families. These collective houses were called Buyong Houses, which meant rich houses. The name Buyongheon originated from Buyong Houses. The rooms of Buyongheon are composed of Toenmaru Bang, Daecheong Maru Bang, Large Daecheong Maru Bang and Big Sarangchae. The interior of the rooms looks neat with the beauty of blank space as they excluded unnecessary decorations. Carefully prepared breakfast is served upon request made in advance. Visitors can also experience traditional culture such as traditional etiquette education and Korean paper art.
In fall, the yellow leaves of the ginkgo tree in the garden of Jeonju Hyanggyo lights up the roof of Buyongheon. It is recommendable to walk along the Jeonjucheon Stream and take pictures of the colorful murals and the cafes in the Jaman Mural Village located on the left sie of the Hanok Village. It takes 15 minutes from Jeonju Station and 10 minutes from Jeonjuu Express Bus Terminal to Buyongheon by taxi.

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.
