Gyeongsangbuk-do


This tea shop in a rustic building offers simple treats like green tea, wine and light meals. No English is spoken, but the owner goes to much effort to ease communication. If you want to stay the night, there are two small ondol rooms (₩35,000) for rent where early breakfast is possible, but you need to book it in.
