Rakgojae, which means 'a place where you can enjoy the old things and feel a clear and comfortable heart,' is a traditional Korean cultural space that was renovated by Jung Young-jin Ong, a human cultural asset, in a hanok with a history of 130 years. Traditional roof tiles, fences, pavilions, chimneys, and chimdocks are harmoniously created with pine trees in the blue sky. When you pass through the elegantly located Soteuldaemun, you will see a simple Jangdokdae and reveal a small but clean hanok. Pine trees and bamboo trees in between add to the natural beauty, and the friendly rubber shoes on the stone bring back beautiful and fragrant memories.
The rakgojae, which is woven in a shape around the yard, is dotted with the customs of the old ladies. The pavilion, pond, and daecheongmaru enjoyed by the ancestors are carefully revived to create a stylish taste. In particular, the Daecheong Maru adds to the beauty of the white space of the hanok and gives it a refreshing feeling. When you sit in the pavilion like the ancient sailors, the passage of time slows down, and the wind blowing over the tower along with the sound of the scenery crashing shyly is also special. If you slowly raise your eyes and look at the sky, you can only see the angular sky surrounded by eaves, and the complicated thoughts of modern times seem to be fleeing into the distance.
As a place where you can feel traditional Korean culture while enjoying the traditional flow of Korean culture, Rakgojae delivers the beauty of Korean tradition through various programs such as tea ceremony, jjimjilbang, royal hanbok, and kimchi dipping, along with traditional limited food. The accommodation facilities in Rakgojae, which are reminiscent of yangban houses in the Joseon Dynasty, are so neat and comfortable that they are comparable to high-end hotels. The ondol room with natural jade and the wood-burning steam room made of natural clay provide a healthy journey for many foreigners. A night at Rakgojae will be remembered with a special impression, creating unforgettable memories with the beauty and scent of Korea along with the soft moonlight that penetrates through the cracks in the door.
