At a Glance: SangYuJae (상유재) offers a unique stay in a historic hanok, combining tradition with modern comforts in Jeongseon-gun.
Planning to experience traditional Korean living? SangYuJae (상유재) in Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do, is an excellent choice. This historic hanok offers guests an authentic glimpse into Korea’s past while providing modern amenities.
What makes SangYuJae (상유재) stand out among nearby hotels?
SangYuJae is the oldest hanok in Jeongseon-gun and has been designated as a tangible cultural asset by Gangwon-do. It features a beautiful 600-year-old mulberry tree beside its old stone wall, making it not just a place to stay but also a slice of history. Unlike many hotels, this accommodation allows you to experience traditional Korean culture.
The location is also convenient for exploring local attractions. Just a short walk away is the Jeongseon Arirang Market, where you can experience local flavors and shop for unique items. It’s about a 15-minute stroll from the hanok, making it easy to blend your stay with cultural exploration.
How are the facilities and rooms?
SangYuJae offers four guest rooms, each designed with comfort in mind. The rooms feature ondol underfloor heating, which is ideal for staying warm during chilly nights — something I found particularly cozy during my visit. However, there are no TVs in the rooms; this absence encourages guests to engage more with each other and their surroundings.
On-site dining options are available for those who prefer not to venture out after check-in. While you can’t cook in your room, having meals prepared on-site means you can still enjoy traditional cuisine without the hassle of going elsewhere. Check-in starts at 14:00 and check-out is at 10:00, allowing you ample time to enjoy your stay.
