Gyeongsangnam-do(Geoje-si)

Nojasan Mountain extends from Geojae-eup to Hakdong, and right at the base of the Nojasan Natural Forest, a delightful restaurant made of lumberwood stands happily serving all customers. The restaurant doesn't stand out too much from its natural forest surroundings, as it takes on the same natural look as its environment. The restaurant is furnished with pulpwood, while the roomy interior is only sectioned off by paper sliding doors. On one side, the restaurant has a live stage, bringing a contemporary feel to the dining experience as well. Sanmaru vowed to provide food for all of its wayfaring visitors with Western and Korean menus such as pork cutlets, hamburg steaks, patbingsu (shaved ice with red bean topping), and their specialty, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi (special soybean paste stew in a hot pot). Unlike the regularly sold doenjang jjigae, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi dish is an excellent blend of Jeju's obunjagi tang and doenjang jjigae. This specialty has a sweet, savory taste without any unpleasant aftertaste.

Incheon Jotang (The Premium Wellness Spa)

Incheon(Jung-gu) , Incheon Airport

The Renaissance of Blue Wellness: A Century-Old Legacy Reborn at "Incheon Jotang" (The Ultimate Incheon Itinerary: Where 100 Years of History Meets 24/7 Luxury) Incheon, South Korea — Are you curating a trip to Incheon, or perhaps facing a long layover at Incheon International Airport? If your itinerary does not yet include a pause for wellness, it is time to rewrite it. History whispers that while Seoul saw its first public bathhouse in 1904, the true avant-garde revolution of healing began on the coast. In July 1923, near the tides of Wolmido, the nation's first "Jotang" (Seawater Bath) was unveiled. It was a marvel of its time, a therapeutic haven that drew crowds from across the peninsula. Though the original site vanished into the ashes of history, the spirit of that golden era has been resurrected just 10 minutes from the airport. Welcome to the new Incheon Jotang (仁川潮湯). Located on the serene coastline of Yongyu Beach in Yeongjongdo, this is not merely a reconstruction; it is a Premium Wellness Theme Park. For travelers planning an Incheon tour or seeking a meaningful transit experience, this destination is a non-negotiable stopover that bridges a century of bathhouse culture with modern architectural grandeur. [Traveler’s Note] The Ultimate Transit & Travel Hack "Why just wait at the gate when you can heal in history?" If you are transiting through Incheon or exploring the city, Incheon Jotang is the smartest detour you can make. 1. The Perfect "Transit Tour" Spot: Located just 10-15 minutes by car from Incheon International Airport, it creates the ideal window for a "Wellness Layover." Instead of sleeping on an airport bench, immerse yourself in a hot seawater bath and recharge before your next flight. 2. A 24/7 Sanctuary: Whether you land at midnight or have an early morning departure, the doors are always open. It serves as a cost-effective, culturally rich alternative to an airport hotel. 3. The "Must-Visit" Incheon Landmark: For tourists, this is the most authentic way to experience Korea's "Jjimjilbang" culture on a massive, premium scale, complete with ocean views and historical significance. The Heritage: Reinterpreting the Wisdom of 1920s The core identity of Incheon Jotang lies in its water. Honoring the authentic method used in 1923, the facility utilizes Underground Bedrock Seawater pumped from deep within the earth. • The Science of Soak: This water, certified safe for use, mirrors the mineral composition of the ocean but with superior purity. It is a "living water" known to smooth the skin and revitalize the body—the perfect antidote to "airplane fatigue." The Scale: A Vertical Sanctuary Spanning four expansive floors and capable of hosting 1,600 guests simultaneously, Incheon Jotang is designed as a "stay-cation" destination where the boundaries between bathing, dining, and entertainment dissolve. • The Vibe: With the West Sea as its backdrop, the facility seamlessly blends indoor luxury with outdoor panoramic views, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. ■ The Journey: A Symphony of Hot, Cold, and Rest The facility is meticulously zoned to curate a holistic journey for every traveler. 1. The Healing Elements (Themed Jjimjilbang) Step into the "K-Wellness" zone featuring four distinct therapeutic themes: • Red Clay (Hwangto): Radiating earthy warmth to detoxify the core. • Himalayan Salt: A glowing sanctuary for respiratory health. • Elvan Stone (Maekbanseok): The classic Korean relaxation experience. • Phytoncide (Hinoki): A fragrant retreat offering the stress-relieving essence of a cypress forest. 2. The Leisure & View • Rooftop Infinity Pool: The crown jewel. Swim while watching airplanes ascend into the sky, with the ocean horizon stretching infinitely before you. • Ocean View Foot Spa: A romantic outdoor terrace where you can soak your feet in warm bedrock water while the sun sets over the West Sea. • Entertainment: From a Manga Café stocked with thousands of comics to an Arcade Zone, Bodyfriend Massage Sanctuary, and a Life 4 Cuts photo booth, boredom is an impossibility.

Dojeongseowon (도정서원)

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Yecheon-gun)

Dojeongseowon Confucian Academy (142th Cultural Heritage Material of North Gyeongsang Province), located in Yecheon, North Gyeongsang Province, has been reborn as a unique Hanok stay destination. Originally established to commemorate Yakpo Jeong Tak (1526-1605), a man who saved the life of Admiral Yi Sunsin during his imprisonment, Dojeongseowon is located on the middle of a mountain surrounded by Naeseongcheon Stream. There are 4 rooms in total, namely the Lecture Hall, Euphojeong Pavilion, and Dongjae and Seojae dormitories. The Lecture Hall building is built upon a stone pedestal and has an expansive hall with a great view over the Naeseongcheon Stream. Breathing in the clear air of Yecheon brings one back to the days when the lecture hall rang out with the discussions of the scholars. With a floor area of about 100㎡, there are three rooms in total, making the unit an optimal choice for workshops and other group trips. The most exclusive and beautiful room is the Euphojeong Pavilion, built upon a cliff overlooking the Naeseongcheon Stream. It was the place reserved for guests of the academy, and it is also the best place in the complex to hear the sounds of water rushing down the stream below the cliff. Dongjae and Seojae units include a bathroom, but guests staying in the Euphojeong Pavilion and the Lecture Hall must use a public bathroom outside the building. Ipdeokru Pavilion, which functioned as something akin to the gate to the entire complex, is a seminar room which can host up to 30 people. Standing on the 2nd floor of the pavilion brings one to the view of the Naeseongcheon Stream flowing in an arc around the mountain. Outdoor barbecue grills are located to the back of the Dongjae and Seojae units. Yecheon is a city brimming with scenic sights and historic heritages. Choganjeong Pavilion, the filming site of the K-drama Mr. Sunshine, is located 30 minutes away by car. Other sights like Hoeryongpo Meandering Stream, Geumdangsil Traditional Village, and Yongmunsa Temple are located 30 minutes by car.

Wolgang Gotaek (The Old House of Choi Clan)(월강고택(최씨고가))[한국관광품질인증/Korea Quality]

Gyeongsangnam-do(Sancheong-gun)

'Located at the entrance to Jirisan Mountain in Namsa-ri, Sancheong County and blessed with a beautiful natural environment, Namsa Yedamchon Village, along with Andong Hahoe Village, is the representative village of traditional hanok (traditional Korean houses) in Gyeongsang-do Province and is regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Korea. The village is well-known for its 3.2km-long low stone wall, and the name 'Namsa Yedamchon' implies 'a village with old walls' in the hope that we emulate classical scholars’ spirit and courtesy. The Old Walls of Namsa Village were designated as Registered Cultural Heritage No. 281. Along with the old walls, a total of nine cultural heritages were designated as national treasures or cultural properties including the House of the Choi Clan (Gyeongnam’s Cultural Property Material No. 117) and the House of the Yi Clan (Gyeongnam’s Cultural Property Material No. 118). Namsa Yedamchon Village was also selected as a Rural Traditional Theme Village, operating various programs related to traditional learning experiences including farming, traditional games, trip to old houses, and seodang (village school) experience. As a typical noble family’s house in the southern area, Wolgang gotaek (the House of the Choi Clan) is situated in the middle of Namsa Yedamchon Village. This outstanding hanok house offers many charms including a beautiful wall stretching from the public parking lot to the house, a tall gate with exceptional x_height, and 230-year-old Japanese apricot tree as well as its large size and splendid features. Its head family of the house is the Maesa House of Jeonju Choi’s Clan in Hangnim-ri, Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, and they have lived in the area since their great-great-grandfather. As for the house buildings, the Anchae (women’s quarters) was built in 1920; the Sarangchae (men’s quarters) was completed in 1921, the Byeolchae (detached house) named 'Iknangchae,' the Gwangchae (storage), and the barn were built during the same period. The buildings are arranged in 'ㅁ'-shaped structure – the Anchae at the center with the Sarangchae, the Iknangchae, and the Gwangchae. There are two inner gates on the right and left to the Sarangchae. The Anchae and the Iknangchae cannot be seen from the west inner gate, according to the Confucian idea about separate spaces for men and women. The Anchae with 6 kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) in front and 3 kan on the sides has toenmaru (the narrow wooden porch running along the outside of the building) in front and on the rear side, semi-hipped roof, and high ceiling. The Anchae is composed of kitchen, main room, small room, daecheong (main floored room), and another small room, which retains its refined design of the door. The Sarangchae with 5 kan in front and 3 kan on the sides is a house with several wings and a semi-hipped roof. It is composed of two rooms, daecheong, another two rooms, and a room with wooden floor. The Sarangchae is characterized by its round pillars. Facing the east, the iknangchae with 4 kan in front and 2 kan on the sides consists of daecheong, room with ondol (Korean heating system), and storage space for food materials. Wolgang gotaek was chosen as a Korea Noble House in 2014. The owner is planning to expand the accommodations by building two rooms in the Sarangchae and a separate room in the Iknangchae for the convenience of guests. It is set to modernize various facilities including toilets, TV, air conditioner, wireless Internet, and kitchen equipment as well as provide diverse hands-on programs such as tea ceremony and traditional games. The owner aims to offer guests an opportunity to enjoy staying in an old hanok house with a comfortable environment by preserving the beauty of old hanok and its tradition without damaging the house with various activities.
