What to expect

Most travelers visit Korea's palaces and museums — but leave without understanding the meaning behind what they saw. This 90-minute experience changes that.

At Wayujae, steps from Gyeongbokgung Palace, learn the stories behind Korea's colors, patterns, crafts and food — so you'll recognize them everywhere you go. Do this on Day 1.

Discover the meaning behind hanbok colors, hanok dancheong, hangul, thousand-year hanji paper, folk paintings, celadon, lacquerware, and more. The program was designed by JJ, who spent 10 years in travel, so every story is told from a traveler's perspective.

Then enjoy a tea ceremony: taste 10+ Korean snacks paired with one of 6 handcrafted seasonal teas you choose. Everything is explained.

Small group, maximum 6 guests — real conversation, not a lecture.
