There are Korean traditional houses. Citizens of Josun Dynasty which is the government before Republic of Korea had lived in. In fact, the traditional houses are transported from other area of Seoul. If you trip to Seoul in Korea, I strongly recommend you to visit this sight.

Traditional Korean village that can be visited for free. A lot of old houses are perfectly preserved and is one of the rare places where we can see pieces of furniture and other indoor decorative elements. The garden is calm and offers many opportunities to wander. Excellent place to visit in Seoul.

Just a footnote in some guides, this hanok is a truly stunning experience. It consists of several wealthy family homes relocated from all over Korea to this complex. The grounds are beautiful to visit and the buildings are too. Some rooms have furniture and historic depictions to illustrate the use of the rooms, like kitchens, bedrooms and even living rooms.
