Korean Folk Village

A large open-air folk village near Yongin recreating traditional Joseon life with houses, crafts and performances.

Why go

The Korean Folk Village near Yongin is a sprawling open-air museum that recreates a traditional Joseon-era village, with hundreds of relocated and reconstructed houses.

Costumed artisans, farmers' music, tightrope walking and horseback performances bring old daily life to the streets, and it's a frequent filming location for historical dramas.

It's an easy, engaging half- to full-day trip, often paired with Everland or Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress.

Good to know

• Catch the schedule for the farmers' music, tightrope and horseback shows.
• Renting a hanbok adds to the atmosphere for photos.
• It pairs well with Everland or Suwon on a day out of Seoul.
• Allow extra time in autumn, when the village and its stream look their best.
