Babies are allowed and nearby Jongno 3-ga station offers nursing rooms, yet most cafés lack changing tables and the uneven narrow alleys make pushing a stroller slow and tiring.
Why 3-4 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: A visit lasting 3 to 4 hours is enough to stroll the alleys at a comfortable pace, with breaks for feeding, snacks, and easy exploration for a baby.
Gentle Alley Stroll:
Walk the narrow hanok alleys to see wooden doors and stone paths.
Tip: Move slowly and keep one adult near the stroller or carrier to avoid uneven stones.
Public Nursing Room:
Use free nursing rooms at Jongno 3-ga Station Exits 4 and 6.
Tip: Walk 3 minutes from the village to find a feeding chair, sink, and changing mat.
Café Break at Oyatt Kkot Cafe:
Relax in a small courtyard room with possible high chair use.
Tip: Call ahead to confirm stroller access and reserve a hanok room.
Purpleberry Ice Cream:
Try the green waffle cone soft-serve at Ikseon Goro.
Tip: Share the 2,500 KRW cone; it’s quick to grab and sit on a nearby bench.
Soha Salt Pond Bakery:
Taste truffle salt bread or cheese rolls in the outdoor courtyard.
Tip: Buy breads (3,000–5,000 KRW each) and share with the baby on your lap.

Ikoson-dong in Seoul is a delightful neighborhood bursting with charm. Local shops offer unique finds, while excellent cafés and breakfast spots serve delicious mornings. It’s a must‑visit for a perfect blend of shopping, sipping, and food. Downfall there are no public toilets around.

Not a village. Barley any real Hanok. A couple of good bars (Art Monster, Aledang). A few fun pork restaurants (삼겹살). Feels very UNESCO, and not in a good way. Still, photogenic.

This Hanok village is recommended. Most of the old traditional houses has converted to become commercial purpose like restaurant or cafe but is still very nice for photography. I noticed most of the restaurant are serving western food.
