What I liked about staying at Hinokijam 1 (히노키잠(1호점))?
The guesthouse is set in a charming two-story wooden building that reflects traditional Japanese architecture. It’s located on Modern Culture and History Street, which means you can easily explore the local area, rich with cultural attractions and eateries. The atmosphere is peaceful, good for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.
I appreciated the reasonable room rates, which make it accessible for travelers on various budgets. With seven guest rooms available, from cozy two-person accommodations to larger rooms that can host up to eight guests, there’s flexibility based on your needs. All bathrooms are ensuite — an essential feature when traveling with family.
What could be better?
One thing that bugged me a little was the absence of cooking facilities and on-site dining options. If you’re traveling with kids who tend to get hungry often, this could be inconvenient. Breakfast is included but is quite basic—just toast and beverages—which might not be enough if you’re planning a full day out.
The check-in time is at 15:00 and check-out at 10:00. This may not align perfectly with all travel schedules, so plan accordingly. Also, keep in mind that there’s no pickup service available from airports or train stations.

When compared to other accommodations in Gunsan, Hinokijam stands out due to its unique architectural style and cultural ambiance. Many hotels offer modern amenities but lack the charm of this traditional setting. The combination of affordability and location makes it a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who want something different.
In contrast to larger hotels that may have more facilities but feel impersonal, Hinokijam gives you that cozy feeling of being at home away from home—something I really valued during my stay. Just remember that if you want extensive amenities like laundry service or full-service dining, you may find those lacking here. Something to consider when planning your trip.
