Ikseon-dong is one of the oldest Korean traditional house residential areas in Seoul, densely packed with hanok from the 1920s-30s. What kind of neighborhood is it? Located right next to Jongno 3-ga. Between narrow and winding alleys, there are cafes, restaurants, and small shops housed in renovated hanok. It is famous as an Instagram-worthy photo spot, but it is relatively quiet on weekday afternoons. Recommended spots: Korean traditional house cafes with courtyards offer a unique experience of drinking traditional tea or coffee. There are several cafes, so you can walk through the alleys and enter whichever one catches your eye.
