"Built entirely with the same traditional techniques used in temples... staying at Rakkojae gives the impression of visiting the home of a Joeson-era aristocrat." Full review

"This beautifully restored hanok, with an enchanting garden is modelled after Japan’s ryokan. The guesthouse’s mud-walled sauna is included in the prices." Full review
Rough Guide
"The most authentic of the bunch, character-wise. Not only is the hanok an 1870s original, but the owners serve traditional food for dinner: a little like a Japanese ryokan."
