[Gyeongbokgung Palace] A historic building in Seoul

You can walk there from Gyeongbokgung Station or Insadong Station. If you wear a hanbok (such as a chima chogori), you can enter for free. I always rent and have my hair done at a shop called Kurumi (Yes Hanbok) on the left of Gyeongbokgung Palace. If you make a reservation, you can get an extra 2 hours, and even if the hem gets dirty on a rainy day, you don't have to pay extra, and the set includes a pannier, dress (there are many colors, patterns, and sizes), top (there are many), dressing, hair styling, rental hair accessories, and rental bag for 25,000 won. You can leave your luggage in a locker. I paid in advance with cash. The shop assistants and the company president are all kind, and since there are many Japanese tourists, they can speak a little Japanese. They are very kind. This was my third time using the shop, but I would like to go again if I have the opportunity. Unfortunately, it was raining at Gyeongbokgung Palace. The floor is gravel, which drains well, and there is a stone walkway in the middle. The puddles on the gravel disappear as soon as the rain stops, but during heavy rains, large puddles form all over the gravel, and there are places where you have to walk on the gravel, so it is quite hard to go on a rainy day. If you go in the summer, I think it will dry later if you go with sandals instead of socks. However, there is a lot of water splashing back, so I think it is a spot that is difficult to enjoy on a rainy day. We mainly wore hanbok, and we were able to enjoy taking photos at Insennekko (photo booth) right next to the dressing shop and sheltering from the rain, which was great, but we could hardly see inside. It would be fine if the main purpose was to wear hanbok, but there were a lot of puddles and it was raining so hard that we could only go to a part of the whole place. It's very spacious, so if you want to do a thorough tour of Gyeongbokgung Palace and then go to Bukchon Hanok Village, it's best to avoid going on a rainy day! #KoreaTrip #OverseasTrip #Seoul #GyeongbokgungPalace #ChimaJeogori #Hanbok #BukchonHanokVillage #WalnutHanbok #YesHanbok
