Dongguksa Temple was built by Japanese monk Seoneungbulgwan in 1909. The temple was run by Japanese monks for 36 years during the Japanese occupation, reverting to Korean jurisdiction when Korea was liberated in 1945. The historical temple is the only surviving Japanese-style temple in the nation. The temple is characterized by its two main buildings, Daeungjeon Hall and Yosachae, which are connected by a corridor, and the temple’s relative lack of decoration, which stands as a sharp contrast to the brilliantly-colored Korean temples. Dongguksa Temple was officially designated Cultural Asset No. 64 in July 2003 and is now a branch temple of Seonunsa Temple in Gochang, the 24th district of the Korean Buddhist Jogye Order.

Jeollabuk-do(Imsil-gun)

Saseondae Tourist Resort was established around Saseondae located on the bank of Owoncheon Stream in the upper region of Seomjingang River. The name Saseondae originates from a legend of four immortals and fairies. The legend has it that two immortals of Maisan Mountain in Jinan and two immortals of Unsusan Mountain in Imsil gathered by Owoncheon Stream to enjoy the beautiful nature. Looking down at the immortals were four fairies, who fascinated by the picturesque scenery of the region, came down from the sky to join the hermits. Since then, the place has been called Saseondae and the stream Owoncheon. Unique rock formations, woods and clear water surrounding Saseondae create a magnificent harmony. The Unseojeong Pavilion (Regional Tangible Cultural Asset No. 135) situated in the dense forest of Saseondae also adds beauty to the scenery.

It was recently renovated to serve as a guesthouse by an architect specializing in traditional Korean houses.

Because of this unique history, this traditional Korean house is antique and modern at the same time. The Premium Room named 'Ujeong' is furnished with chandelier, modern furniture, and home appliances and is designed to look like one of the rooms used by a noble family in the 1930s. There are cornelian cherry trees and apricot flowers in the front yard, which is visible from the room through the window. All the corners of the house and even the drain are carefully designed not to harm the design of the house. The guesthouse has two large guestrooms only, making it the perfect choice for those who want a quiet place to stay.
