If you want an introduction to Korean traditional culture, this tour offers a relaxed way to experience it. It was selected as one of the K‑Culture Tours in 2026 by the Korea Tourism Organization. You will visit a large traditional village of some 700–800 hanok (traditional houses) that drew around 15 million visitors in 2024. Along the way, the programme offers the chance to wear Korean traditional clothes and to taste bibimbap, so you may experience both local dress and a classic Korean meal.

The route also includes Tapsa Temple, noted by CNN among the “Most Beautiful Temples in South Korea” and listed in the Michelin Green Guide with three stars. At Tapsa you will see the temple’s mysterious stone towers and enjoy peaceful natural scenery around the site. As you move through the village and temple grounds, guides will provide cultural context and point out highlights to help you appreciate the history and beauty of each place.

If you take the tour in July 2026, there will be a review event: guests who leave a post‑experience review and verify it via Google Forms between 1 and 31 July (KST) may receive a gift.
