SEOWAJUNG

20, Boraemiha-gil 43beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea

SEOWAJUNG is a hanok stay that utilizes the eaves and flooring, so you can feel the tranquility from the courtyard.

There's even a place to wash your feet on one side of the courtyard.

When you enter the entrance hall, you'll immediately see the kitchen, with the bedroom on the left and the bathroom and jacuzzi area on the right. The separate vanities are neatly arranged with Aesop amenities and a Dyson hair dryer.

The bathroom is simply organized, with everything from cleansers to body products.

Let's start with a quick look at the bedroom area under the rafters, where you'll pass a tea ceremony table before heading to the bed. There are detailed instructions and videos on how to enjoy the tea, so even if you're a first-timer, you'll be able to get the hang of it. The wooden shelves behind the tea table are filled with aromas that fill the space, and the columns that divide the space are also dark wood tones, which goes well with the cozy atmosphere of the space. 

Next to the bathroom space we introduced earlier. The jacuzzi area combines tranquility and modernity, making SEOWAJUNG an even more special space. Bath salts are provided for guests to enjoy while soaking, and bamboo landscaping is placed outside the window to add a touch of freshness. There are shower robes hanging on the wall that can be worn after the bath, and the shelves in this space are also decorated with objects.

The large window in the jacuzzi area overlooks Seowajung's yard, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the yard. The blinds are installed so that you can adjust the range of view, so it's easy to relax. 

Once you've had your fill of the bath, enjoy a delicious dinner or glass of wine. Due to the nature of hanok stays, you can't cook, but there's plenty of tableware available so you can enjoy your packed food in a beautiful setting. As you look around the dining area, you'll notice the calming tones that invite contemplation, the delicate objects on the shelves, and the pillars that make use of the hanok's structure. Together, these details create a serene and cozy Korean atmosphere.

There's an iPad on the bedside shelf with all the information you'll need for your stay, and there's a Polaroid camera with a cartridge system to capture memories. There's also a beam projector so you can watch movies in bed. With good scents, a cozy atmosphere, and a cozy bed, the moment you fall asleep will feel light and soft. 

The tranquility of SEOWAJUNG is doubled when the sun goes down. At night, SEOWAJUNG offers a tranquil space away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you want to take a step back from your daily routine and embrace tranquility, spend a day at SEOWAJUNG.
