Explore Mugyewon hanok and Mokin Museum Mokseokwon

The tour begins at Mugyewon, a traditional Korean hanok complex. Next you visit Mokseokwon at Mokin Museum, home to Korean wooden folk carvings and traditional wooden dolls, a look at Korean folk culture and art traditions that are hard to find on typical Seoul tours.

You then take a short walk along Baeksukdongcheon, a natural valley surrounded by rocks, trees, and a quiet stream, for a different side of Seoul.

Visit Yun Dong-ju Literature Museum and Cheongun Literature Library

After the walk, you stop at a local restaurant for a Korean meal. This is not an official food tour but a chance to experience an everyday Korean meal, and food and drinks are not included in the tour price, so you pay at the restaurant.

After lunch, you visit Yun Dong-ju Literature Museum, dedicated to the poet Yun Dong-ju, for an introduction to Korean poetry, history, and his life. You also see Cheongun Literature Library, which looks like a traditional hanok but is a real public library used by local residents.

Finish at a mountain book cafe and the Mumudae viewpoint

Take a break with a drink at Chosoh Book Cafe, surrounded by Seoul mountains. The tour ends at the Mumudae viewpoint with views over Seoul, and depending on the weather and time of day you may see the skyline in the distance.

※ After the tour, your guide can recommend a local restaurant known for Korean fried chicken. This is optional and not included in the tour price.
※ The view from the viewpoint can vary depending on the weather and time of day.
