Experiencing the elegance of Korean culture
Rakkojae is a very famous Korean traditional culture space with a history of 130 years. Rakkojae was renovated by Human National Treasure – Master Carpenter CHUNG Young-Jin. The harmony of hanok traditional tiles, fence, pavilion, chimney, soy jar stands, pine trees, and blue sky, make the true beauty of hanok shine. As a place to enjoy the true elegance of Korean traditional culture, one can participate in various activities to truly experience the traditional beauty of Korea.

The natural jade ondol floor and yellow-mud sauna heated with firewood offer foreign visitors a unique and healthy accommodation experience. We are confident that a night at Rakkojae will create unforgettable memories.
