🚗 Travel Tips

 Just a 7-minute walk from Anguk Station (Line 3, Exit 3).

 Because Bukchon’s alleys are narrow and parking is limited, public transportation is recommended.

After strolling through Bukchon Hanok Village, this serene teahouse offers the perfect opportunity to slow down, sip quietly, and savor the essence of Korean tradition in modern Seoul.
