Eunpyeong Hanok Village photography

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Experience I had a great experience and highly recommend this. I was unfortunately late after missing a subway stop and getting lost, but the team was very understanding. The photographer was professional, friendly, and helped me feel comfortable by chatting with me during our walk to the photo locations. Since I was traveling solo, feeling shy, and had just landed that morning with little sleep, I really appreciated his kindness. He guided my poses throughout the shoot, regularly checked if I was happy with the photos, and even encouraged me to speak up if there was anything I didn’t like. I also appreciated the extra time he spent taking additional photos. The staff member who helped me choose my hanbok and style my hair was wonderful and very kind. There were so many beautiful photos to choose from, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It was one of the highlights of my solo trip, and I would gladly book again when I return w/ family or friends. 😊

“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!”

location: conveniently located just next to exit 2 of gyeongbokgong station. we then walk abt 3 mins via the underground (shaded and cooling) to exit 5 of the station to get to the palace. The stairs may not be good for strollers or elderly. But the staff were v friendly and efficient. Our family of 4 booked the trendy style and each managed to find what we liked. I loved that they did not try to upsell us! My boys love the the umbrellas while I find the handbag super useful to put my phone and locker keys in. I opted to top up krw6,000 for my hairdo and hubby chose a Hat for another krw5,000. Overall we had a great time and 2 hours rental were just nice for us before our kids got tired of posing for photos. 😂

Yona helped me. She was polite and explained everything quickly but well. There were a lot of choices and I ended up doing an upgrade. I felt beautiful in the honbok.

It was a convenient place to hire the Hanbok. The young male boss or manager there was really nice- let us borrow the umbrellas without extra charges. We had a big group of 20 people so it was chaotic when choosing the hanbok. Some were not happy with theirs hanbok because they did not have time to choose the correct one for them- it was a shame. Recommend- need to take time to choose the right one for you, or you will regret. Overall, happy with this place but better with less people.

Such a fun experince, if you enjoy history this a must do! I did the indoor photoshoot and very much enjoyed my time with the photographer! I got to choose my own skirt and top. If the size didn't work properly the staff helped me choose one that would work better! There were many add-ons you could choose if you wanted but it wasn't pushed on you! All up to what you wanted! Absolutely loved! Thank you!

first of all u need to wear a petticoat cause its very cold me and my family just wear the hanbok only,we take 4 hour session because is too cold and windy we end 2 and the half hour only the rest is good. we have a good view and enjoy.The hanbok price is acceptable and beautiful..

Here are the points I liked: 1. There's a restroom (very important, especially for those who need to use it frequently. It's best to go before putting on the hanbok and before heading out. The store was very kind and allowed us to return to use it mid-way through our outing. Gyeongbokgung Palace actually has restrooms, and they are clearly marked, but sometimes you can still get a bit lost inside. If you're worried, I recommend marking the restrooms on a map beforehand). 2. Easy to find (just use Naver Map to navigate directly; you can also browse shops on the way from Anguk Station). 3. Clothes are in good condition (skirts are very voluminous, no holes, no strange smells). 4. There are about 5 free hairstyles (from what I remember) (all the hairstyles in the pictures below are free. Additional charges, up to 10,000 Korean Won, are only for more elaborate styles like the 'medical lady' style or intricate updos). *********** I purchased the most expensive full-day level. Upon arrival, I could choose from 40,000 Won skirts, which were basically solid-colored or gradient-colored voluminous skirts, a single layer with an additional panel skirt. Since the skirt essentially has two layers, you can still see the hoop skirt's steel frame. If this bothers you, you'll need to pay extra for a higher-tier skirt. There are options for 60,000 Won and 80,000 Won. (The 60,000 Won options include tiered skirts and long tops that cover the stomach, as well as some patterned skirts. The 80,000 Won options have gold trim and some hot-stamped designs, which are really good quality, but probably better for autumn/winter, and also come with stomach-covering tops). If you're not planning to take photos all day, 4 hours is quite enough. It's definitely enough in the summer, as you won't last much longer. I'm quite heat-tolerant, but even on an overcast day, I only lasted about 5 hours before I couldn't take it anymore. We arrived at 11 AM and still found clothes we liked, but earlier might offer more top choices (?). Everyone should consider their own timing. Regarding photography, as per the price list, you can inquire directly at the store. However, it was an overcast day, so we didn't add on a photography package, so I don't know how the photos would have turned out. Many people at Gyeongbokgung Palace hire photographers. If the weather is good and you're in a good mood, you can hire one. They are very good at directing poses and have their own camera angles, so you don't have to find spots or think of poses yourself. Also, there are lockers with keys, so make sure to keep your key safe. In summary, I highly recommend this place and would go again, but not on a hot day.
