Yakcheonsa, Buddhist temple in Seogwipo, South Korea

Yakcheonsa is a temple in Seogwipo that features a main hall with multiple levels both above and below ground, providing spaces for worship and gatherings. The structure houses many Buddha statues and large figures in its various rooms and areas.

The temple was founded in the 1980s under the direction of a monk and reached its final form in the 1990s. The project was a major building effort that resulted in the creation of a significant religious complex in the region.

The temple serves as an active place of worship where visitors can observe monks conducting daily rituals and meditation practices. The way the space is organized reflects Buddhist principles and welcomes people to participate in spiritual activities.

Visitors can participate in temple stay programs that include traditional Buddhist practices, meditation sessions, and vegetarian meals. These experiences offer a closer look at the daily rhythm and way of life at the location.

The temple grounds contain a natural mineral water spring that local residents have long valued for its possible healing properties. This feature connects natural resources with the spiritual significance of the location.
