the pass was very useful. we bought the 2 day pass. unfortunately, we weren’t able to make the most out of it because you still need to travel far in some tourist spots.

I stayed here for a night while traveling alone in Seoul. It was easy to find because it was in the center of Ikseon-dong, and the room and bathroom were super clean. I'm going to stay here again on my next trip^^

It was a wonderful experience, I also used the Busan pass and I feel like the Busan pass had more things to do.

It’s very beautiful, and the dancing is also very beautiful, and some of the dances are quite difficult, some of them are very handsome, and the figure is really good. The whole show is highly recommended! !

Thought the place was closed based online but the renovation was actually already completed and place is now open for guests. Worth the money.

It's very close to the exit of Gyeongbokgung subway station, and you can get to Gyeongbokgung Palace just across the street. It's super convenient👍 Fortunately, there aren't many people when I visit on weekdays. The store staff will help you put on Hanbok and braid your hair (the braiding sister is very attentive and her hair is beautifully styled) ) Recommended for friends who want to experience Hanbok~
