Ikseon-Dong Hanok Village, Traditional hanok neighborhood in downtown Seoul, South Korea.
The narrow streets of Ikseon-Dong contain 118 traditional Korean houses from the 1930s, connected by intricate pathways and stone-paved alleys.
Established in 1396 during King Taejo's reign, this central district evolved from Jeongseonbang to become an administrative center of the Joseon Dynasty.
The neighborhood preserves architectural elements through renovated hanok structures that now function as teahouses, art spaces, and traditional craft workshops.
The area opens daily with peak visitor hours between 11:00 and 20:00, accessible via Jongno 3-ga and Anguk subway stations.
Pimat-gil, an ancient path dating to the Goryeo dynasty, remains intact within the village, maintaining its original layout and stone composition.
