As one of the oldest hanok villages in Seoul, Ikseon-dong creates a unique landscape where urban hanoks built in the 1920s are connected like a maze along narrow alleys. Coexisting with the past and the present, this place maintains the framework of traditional hanoks while the interiors have transformed into unique cafes, restaurants, and select shops, emerging as the center of 'newtro' sensibility. Strolling through the arcades covered with glass ceilings, browsing cute shops, and enjoying a relaxing cup of tea while sitting in a hanok courtyard provide a special experience unique to Ikseon-dong.
It is a perfect place to take a slow walk, as it is very fun to discover hidden gem-like spaces in every alley.
