Korea House was built in the typical style of an upper-class house from the Joseon Dynasty and offers international visitors an excellent introduction to traditional Korean culture and lifestyle. The shop sells traditional Korean cultural items made by master craftsmen including china, hanji (handmade paper) and wooden craft items.
There is also the chance to sample a Hanjeongsik (Korean table d'hôte) offering a selection of rare royal cuisine of the highest quality. Korea House is ideal for those who want hands-on experience of traditional Korean culture and the nearby Namsangol Hanok Village is also well worth a visit.
Beyond Haeringwan is Garakdang which is anchae (the main building of a hanok). Garakdang has three dining rooms, all of them named after legendary mountains: Bongraesil with a wooden-floor as well as Bangjangsil and Youngjusil in a “?”-shaped building to the north. This choice of names reflects the idea of food here as the elixir of eternal life.
The Korea House was built to promote traditional Korean culture among both Koreans and foreigners. The place sells traditional Korean food and cultural artifacts while staging traditional performances and wedding ceremonies. At the Korea House, you can try traditional Korean dishes based on the royal cuisine of the Joseon Dynasty.
