Wwoof Korea Guesthouse

Gwanghwamun & Jongno-gu


This rustic hanok, its three ondol rooms arranged around a courtyard with pickle jars and a sansuyu tree, is run by Helen, the director of the Korea branch of World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF). Hence breakfast items and tea in the teahouse are all organic and you can buy the organic plum juice as a souvenir.
