During their stay, visitors should be careful not to damage the cultural heritage. When you accompany a child, please make sure the child understands the meaning of the Hanok Experience in advance. It will be a great and memorable experience for children.

  During your stay in a hanok, please refrain from participating in any harmful activities such as gambling or making a loud noise that might disturb other people, and make sure that your visit takes place before sunset. Please be considerate and do not disturb neighboring residents or other visitors.

  Please avoid hazards and stay in safety.

  The great majority of traditional hanok structures are wooden buildings, so there is a great risk of fire. Therefore, do not use fire to cook a meal or smoke a cigarette without the owner’s prior consent. Due to the risk of fire, it might be prohibited to bring food that needs cooking. Moreover, all pets are prohibited except guide dogs.
