Things to do in Gunja Station

There is only a staircase leading up, which is rather inconvenient for people with limited mobility.

We had a great experience at Lumiere Perfume Making. It’s a lovely place with excellent staff. Our instructor, Mr. Rei, was very patient, attentive, and truly made the session enjoyable. Overall, the experience was fantastic—we were so happy with how our perfumes turned out that we even upgraded our package. Highly recommended!

Dongdaemun Sparex is the best! It's affordable, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is also incredibly easy to find. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right across the street. You can easily find it by taking the elevator down to the third basement floor of the building. They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or scrubbing towels, so it's a good idea to bring your own. If you forget, they sell them at the entrance, which is convenient. For women, mugwort steaming is highly recommended! It costs 2,000 yen. It feels incredibly good and makes you sweat a lot. After that, getting a body scrub is the best! On the fourth basement floor, there's also a food court, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), and a relaxation area where you can unwind. Going in the morning is recommended as it's less crowded.

The place was really calm and peaceful while the teacher was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. There are many colorful pieces and using the different shapes made from abalone shell was really interesting.

Smooth entry. No need to line up. I will recommend going there during the golden hours from 6:00-7:00pm. Give enough time though for the museum located at the ground floor before heading up. Insightful experience.🙂

I really enjoyed this workshop. It was relaxing and calm, and a drink was provided whilst making the norigae. The staff also gave me a brief explanation about traditional norigae, and then I was left to pick out my knot, tassel, charms, and then constructed the norigae after being shown how to use the equipment. When I next come to Korea, I want to bring my mum here too.

I came by myself to escape the heat and create a perfume I know I will actually enjoy and it was so fun! I had the whole place to myself but it has a great relaxing atmosphere and the video was very easy to follow along. It offers two different ways to select your perfume and you can really take your time with the samples to make sure you make the best choice. Mixing up the samples really satisfied the part of me that loves chemistry too 😂 the lady working was so kind and helpful, it's great value money for the experience and you can take something personal home to actually use. I really recommend it.

i love this experience! they provided makeup and tools to use for the workshop. and you can ask for help and sometimes they assist people individually. good explanation. and the experience way cheaper than those one on one makeup tutorial sessions somewhere else . plus they give out free products after (i got a full size makeup remover, some pads, lip oil, and eye shadow palette that matches my eyes based on the workshop). there’s a free photobooth with 2 prints after. they also gave a 20% discount too for shopping afterwards. worth it!

This perfume-making experience was a perfect 10 from start to finish. The process was incredibly fascinating and relaxing, and it was very easy to follow since it's a self-guided experience. The staff were also extremely polite, professional, and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Seoul who is looking for a unique experience.
