Welcome to Yeohangga, a unique guesthouse in Jeonju, Korea, where a happy trip awaits you. Owned and operated by a passionate educator with over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, this cozy and comfortable guesthouse offers a truly immersive experience in traditional Korean culture.
The name Yeohangga holds a special meaning, as it signifies “A home for a happy trip.” From the moment you step foot into this traditional Korean house, you’ll feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere that will make your stay truly memorable.
One of the standout features of Yeohangga is the owner’s dedication to preserving and sharing traditional Korean cognition games. In each of the four themed rooms named “Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” and “Winter,” you’ll find an array of toys and materials for games such as “Chilgyo Game,” “Gonu Game,” and “Mabangjin.”
These games may be new to even the most seasoned Korean travelers, making them a delightful discovery for both children and adults alike. The owner takes great joy in teaching these games to her guests, ensuring that the rich cultural heritage of Korea is passed on to future generations.
But Yeohangga offers more than just games and traditional experiences. The owner understands the importance of safety and comfort, especially for solo female travelers. With this in mind, she has taken several measures to create a safe and secure environment. Each room is equipped with three doors – a transparent door, an opaque glass door, and a traditional Korean door. Not only does this provide an added layer of security, but it also enhances insulation and ensures a peaceful night’s sleep.
Furthermore, the guesthouse’s commitment to the environment is evident in its design. The floors and walls are covered with traditional Korean paper coated with soybean oil, creating a soothing and eco-friendly ambiance that is truly unique.
For those looking to explore beyond Yeohangga, the owner has recently taken over another traditional Korean guesthouse called “Samrakheon.” Located near the Jeonju Oriental Medicine Center, this standalone guesthouse is perfect for groups and families, offering an opportunity to learn and play traditional games in a larger setting.
Whether you’re a family, a couple, or a solo traveler, Yeohangga welcomes you to experience the beauty of traditional Korean culture and the warm hospitality of its owner. Prepare for a delightful journey filled with games, laughter, and cherished memories as you embark on a happy trip at Yeohangga – a home away from home.
