Things to do in Hwagyesa Temple

Such a fun and unique experience. Lee was a fantastic teacher and made the activity fun and friendly. Highly recommend as a chance to make your own souvenir to take home as a memory

Visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace with my cousin, and for free Entrance we used the voucher for the Hanbok rental. Didn't regret it, the staff was really nice and helped us with the fitting. I chose a nice simple hairstyle that was free (there were also different one's with a extra fee). And I got a nice pretty bag (usually with a small fee, but for a review I can get it for free) And even though it was hot outside, it didn't affect the experience for us ✨✨✨

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.

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.

super busy when we went but since it was one of the only places that had plus size opt we decided to come here. otherwise very efficient in getting everything done from picking hanbok to dressing us up and doing our hair

I'm Japanese! This was truly the best experience ever 💛 My husband is very large, so we rented hanbok from another shop and then came to EeHwa Studio for the photoshoot. The hanbok rental shop opened at 8:40 AM, and our photoshoot was scheduled for 9:00 AM, so I checked on Instagram beforehand to see if we might be late. They were very kind and accommodating. Then, after changing into our hanbok, we got lost on the way to the photoshoot location... I was flustered, worried about being late, and whether we'd even be able to do the shoot. My husband was sweating profusely... We were both quite stressed, but the photographer greeted us with such a kind smile. All my anxiety, tension, and worries instantly vanished. The photographer spoke Japanese and gave us various poses with such care, kindness, and fun. My husband is a bit shy, so he was quite apprehensive before the shoot, but the photographer was such a great flatterer! "You're doing so well!" "This looks great! So cool!" In the end, he was really getting into it and enjoying the photoshoot, haha. The finished photos are also wonderful, and I find myself looking at them many times a day. The download process was easy too 😊 I would love to request another photoshoot someday if our family grows 💛 Thank you so much! 🌼

“I had a great experience renting a hanbok near Gyeongbokgung Palace. The staff were friendly and helped me choose a style that suited me well. The hanbok was clean, comfortable, and beautiful in photos. It made exploring the palace even more special. Highly recommend trying this when visiting Seoul!”

You can use the self-service ticket machine (with Chinese language option) next to the lobby on the 9th floor to exchange tickets. The bathhouse only provides bar soap, and the hairdryer costs 200 Korean Won for 180 seconds of use. On the 8th floor, there's a food court (with self-order kiosks) and a public lounge area. The overall environment is very clean, and it wasn't crowded or noisy on the day I visited; it was very quiet.

We had such a lovely experience at Proust Perfume. The place itself was beautiful — hanok-style, calming, clean, bright, and very relaxing. We really enjoyed making our own perfumes, and the scents were lovely. This was actually my second time visiting, so I decided to bring my friend and my mom with me this time. The person who helped us was very kind, patient, and helpful, and took the time to explain everything properly. Overall, it was a really nice and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend it.
