Why go

Gim Yong-hak House in Gwangju is a preserved Joseon-era hanok belonging to the Gim Yong-hak family, registered as a Cultural Heritage of South Jeolla. The house preserves traditional Korean residential architecture, with original layout, gardens, and cultural artifacts. For travelers interested in Korean traditional residential architecture beyond the famous hanok villages — at the level of an actual specific family residence with historical depth — Gim Yong-hak House is one of the cleaner specialty single picks in the Gwangju area. Best as a quiet contemplative stop combined with the broader Gwangju cultural circuit.
