Most murals are very tired. There are a couple of cafés at the tidier end that work hard to entertain. A nice experience, the old school villages need to be seen and appreciated in comparison to the super densely packed islands of blocks of flats in the cities.

Beautifully painted village! The murals are colourful and diverse and when you think you've found them all, you haven't. It's not a very accessible area for people with mobility difficulties to view which is a shame but also seems unavoidable due to the geographical location.

2025.9.17 (Wed) Managed to visit this before the heavy downpour today. A small quaint mural village compared to Gamcheon in Busan. Visit only when you are in the vicinity.

Beautiful village. Not much to do except view the murals.

Expected the place to be in better condition and pieces give the place character. Most murals are old, houses dilapidated but still worth the walk through.

It's quiet but still good to visit and take some pictures there. It was raining when I visited but the pictures still came out good haha. It is located near the Hanok Village so you can have a short visit here when you are going to Jeonju Hanok Village.

A very short walk from Omokdae and Imokdae. A short walk up stairs but very tired if you visited all the historic places in Jeonju prior. I was there just in time for the sunset. And the sunset looking over the city is absolutely breathing. The view points aren't that well know, so there aren't that many people during the sunset. Highly recommend for those photographs enthusiasts

Beautiful place, even if it's a bit commercial. Lots of unique stores, cafes, etc. It gets quite crowded but it's still very nice, it has a cozy vibe. Many locals visit it.

2025.9.16-17 We spent 2 nights in Jeon-Ju to soak up the this UNESCO historic village’s atmosphere. On a weekday…to avoid the crowds. It rained the 2nd day. So we were fortunate to catch the sunset on the 1st day. Our hotel overlooked the village. So beautiful. In the evening, it’s even prettier and romantic. While I am disappointed with the commercialisation (lots of Hanbok rentals, loud pop music being played, restaurants, souvenir shops), I realised it is absolutely necessary to sustain the site. As it is, there are many shops that closed with signages for rental. I personally prefer this to Bukcheon. It’s quaint and easier to walk (flat as opposed to hilly). Lots of historical and Confucian significance. There’s even a 600 year old gingko tree. Many of the restaurants here are as reasonably priced as the ones outside the village. Even for a non-history buff, I would gladly return to this village again.

Nice to go to on weekdays. A bit crowded at weekends and public holidays. Some good eating places and lots of souvenir shops. Recommend the shrine and the associated museum. If you're feeling brave you can walk around in traditional Korean costume!

Visiting Hanok Village was certainly a pleasant experience in spite of the overtly touristy vibe. However, it the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Hanok Village proved as interesting, if not more so, than the village itself.

I’ve visited Jeonju more than 10 times, and it never gets old! The Jeonju Hanok Village is beautiful — full of delicious local food, charming traditional houses, and fun activities to enjoy. This place is popular among both locals and tourists. Many visitors rent hanbok, which makes the whole atmosphere even more charming — it truly feels like stepping back into the Joseon era. A must-visit spot if you want to experience traditional Korean culture and take beautiful photos in Jeonju Hanok Village! 📸 If you prefer a calm and peaceful hanok experience, go to Andong. But if you like a lively, bustling atmosphere with lots to explore, Jeonju is the place for you. A one-day trip is doable, but it can be tiring with the travel back and forth. I highly recommend staying overnight in a hanok for the full experience. You can explore the Hanok Village, nearby hills, and the Nambu Market — there’s so much to see and taste here!

Jeonju is simply breathtaking place and far beyond my expectations. Super easy to get around on foot, bike or snoopy scooter, plenty of food, coffee and stuff do check out for the kids Must do when in SK

Stunning and full of heritage. A must to visit. Best time to view is around sundown for a perfect ambience. Night scene is gorgeous 😍 💖

Our visit here was peaceful and relaxed. It turned out to be a far more serene setting than expected and our visit was further enhanced by a chance opportunity to witness part of an annual eagle worship ceremony held only once a year.

Visited early November. The autumn colours here were amazing esp the vibrant yellow ginkgo trees. This required a small entrance fee, but trust me, worth every penny. The surrounding worth walking both day and night, great place to stroll around and take in the hanok vibes.

Nice. Not too many people. The buildings look like many other palaces, can't really enter any building, just like any other palace, but this place doesn't have many chambers to enter anyway. 3k won entry ticket. Many trees. Clean toilets. Interesting museum at the back with no extra cost. Spare 1 hour here.

It was quite nice, but I expected more. The entrance fee was 3,000 won. Compared to other attractions, that's quite a lot for what it offers. We tried three Western credit cards, but none were accepted. That's a bit low for such a touristy place. June 2025

Nice views from front gate. They don't want people to take pictures inside. The Shrine was about to close when I arrived.

Really nice shrine to visit while you are in Jeonju. Gives you all the history of the shine and area while you are there, as well as some fantastic Royal Portraits. Well, it was worth a visit and was only 3000₩ to enter.

Beautiful place. A place were several K dramas has been used for their scenes.

Went to the night market, great food and lots of choice. There was a great atmosphere with lots of people all walking round. The beef noodles were great as was the deep fried octopus.

Very lively both at night and during the day. In the morning -afternoon, it's a market selling various things such as vegs and fruits, banchan, kitchen utensils, clothes, wooden tools, flowers, plants and some cafes/ restaurants). At night (I believe only on Fridays and Saturdays) there's a night market, around 50 or so stalls in the middle. Tbh, the morning market is more interesting with authentic experience. The night market only sell modern Korean food, mosty sweet and deep-fried things.

2025.9.17 (Wed) I have to admit: I have seen many markets in Korea (Seoul, Busan, Jeju)…..this is the least lively. I came during the day, and midweek. The tourist office says it is “open”. I thot the redeeming factor is the bimbimbap. Even that eatery is closed 😅

Famous market in Jeonju that you should go to. There’s so many snacks, food stalls and ingredients to buy here. Was coming here for snacking after went to Hanok Village. Love the ambiance here. 🥹😍

If you enjoy exploring traditional markets, this one is well worth a visit.

Maybe it's busy at certain times (early mornings? Weekends?) But whenever I've been there this place has been absolutely empty. The roof area of the youth market is a nice space which I imagine is great fun when busy.

Fantastic old style market that has an amazing array of goods.it is a true representation of what markets were, and how they need to stay to have a true Korean experience.

coming here to see filming locations (2521) but found this beautiful traditional village. The area was clean and well build both in modern and traditional style. Was strolling around and found traditional well too 😊 everywhere in Jeonju such a magical for those who wanna escape from Seoul 🩷

Really nice viewing point of the Hanok village. No tickets necessary, just go up the stairs.

It's a bit of a hike to get to Omokdae. At the top, many people were resting inside as they were tired from the hike. What we enjoyed more was the view of the told town from the top. On a sunny day, it's very nice and good photogenic

The short path in the green hill through which I had to hike to get here, was good as well. I was waiting for a while, only until the sun set, but missed the peak photo time... Anyhow, the flamingo pinky sunset sky was so gorgeous, I was sorry not to seize the moment in my small phone cam. So, I recommend you to visit here and look at the unforgettable sight, in person :)

Historic site where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the view. Omokdae Historic Site is perched atop a steep hill and is notable as a spot where Yi Seong-gye, who would later become King Taejo, celebrated his victory after the war against the Japanese army at Unbong Peak in Hwangsan Mountain. Directly across the bridge from Omokdae lies Imokdae Historic Site, located at the base of Seungamsan Mountain. About 80 meters downhill from Imokdae, there are memorial stones and a building that was once home to Mokjo, King Taejo’s great-great-grandfather. The inscriptions on the stones are written in the handwriting of Emperor Gojong. Mokjo relocated to Hamgyeongdo following a dispute with the then minister of Jeonju, an event that King Taejo believed was pivotal in his establishment of the Joseon dynasty.

Beautiful pavilion and trees in bloom in the summer time but the leaves in trees block the view to the Hanok village below. It would be better during late autumn or early spring to see the village below. Nevertheless, the hill is not difficult to climb and there are many paths to get to and the top and down again. We went up the path in the corner of Taejo-ro and Girin-daero.

A place with a great view of Jeonju hanok village You need to climb some stairs but it’s worth There’s a pavilion for rest As if by some unwritten agreement, everyone there lays down to rest😂😂

I got here late afternoon and could only see sweet things, would have liked to try something savory. Nonetheless the Apple Turnover (pie) was nice. Won't hurry back but as an institution, it's worth a visit. Lots of activity in the shop, it is clearly very popular.

This is the real deal choco pie not the pseudo ones which we've been fed by Lotte. Nice cafe on the 2nd floor where you can enjoy choco pies and other baked goods with a cup of coffee.

We went at 8.30 am for breakfast and we're quite disappointed with each of the breads and beverages that we ordered. At 8.30 am, I expected the breads to be warm and soft since they were supposed to freshly baked, but I had to use the microwave in the store to warm them up slightly to prevent them from tasting like the previous day's leftovers. The castella was puffy and dry, and the coffee was not tasty either. We ordered the long sausage bread, the sausage bread, the chocolate soboro bread, the castella, an Americano and a latte. Everything was disappointing but expensive. This bakery ends up being a 1 star-deserving bakery that I wouldn't recommend. The only saving grace was how spacious the bakery is.

Historical bakery in Jeonju. Signiture choco pie is the most famous thing here, but I like all simple bread more. A few branches around Jeonju all same good quality. Must try bakery in Jeon ju.

These sweets are disappointing. They look good, but the taste is not great. They have a really fake flavor that doesn’t taste like real chocolate at all. It seems like they use a lot of artificial colors just to make them look chocolatey, but it’s not true. They remind me of a snack popular when I was a kid called Phoskitos. Plus, everything is wrapped in plastic, which is annoying.

Bakery is great, lots of variety of cakes and bakes. The choco pies are a bit too sweet for my liking though, particularly the original one. I tried the original and banana one. Original is like a chocolate donut pastry with cream and jam, dipped in chocolate. Banana one uses banana dough and banana cream.

This bakery is huge (two floors) with a wide selection of pastries, though it is most known for its choco pies. Like many other bakeries, you fill up your own tray and pay at the counter. They will cut and heat up your pastries for you if you ask. They will also individually bag each pastry if you are taking the food to-go. I went in the morning, and it was not crowded. I got a choco pie, a hotdog bao, a walnut cookie, and a custard bun, all for less than $10. - Choco pie: The chocolate was too sweet, but the inside was light and tasted like custard. However, it was my least favorite. - Hotdog bao: The bao had a layer of crusted egg on top, which added a nice crunch. Interestingly, the hotdog was also crunchy. - Walnut cookie: It was like eating a cake in cookie form. Very airy but very sweet. Not much filling. - Custard bun: Soft and fluffy.

Jeonju famous local food - bibimbap. This restaurant is little out of main tourist area. There is no English menu or sign so might be korean / local place. Bibimbap was good with comes with stone pot + interesting sidedishes. We ordered seafood pancake as well. The taste seems it's microwaved. - taste was okay tho. If you want to visit i would recommend just bibimbap.

Best bimbimbap i ever had ! Jeonju is the mothership of this famous Korean dish and this would be the best place to enjoy it. Had the raw beef taste one and it comes with many many side dishes. I love it where half way eating the service staff will come store it for you again by adding their famous soya bean paste with chili. Must visit. We had to take. Queue number from the cashier and waited outside.

Best bibimbap restaurant in the area, better than the touristy famous Hanguk Jib. Family run restaurant with self made gochujang. You will find 3 generations of ladies running the place. Generous serving, very reasonable price, friendly service and very tasty food. 14 side dishes, rice served in iron cast pot, fermented soy bean soup and a kettle of barley water, all inclusive. Value for money and and you are not going to find a better bibimbap.

***This is my favorite bibimbap*** The meal includes 14side dishes and a soup as an accompaniment to the bibimbap. It really is a lot of food. Halfway through the meal someone will come ask if you want to add spicy sauce. Say yes and she will add an awesome green chili sauce and mix it in for you. I would say it is only mild to medium spicy. If I could only eat one bibimbap in Jeonju it would be at this restaurant.

How great! The best bibimbab restaurant ever. Can feel all ingredients in mouth and it goes crazy with kkaes ip or mug eun gi as recommended. Must try it with both side dishes. It has a kick. Hope I would get off some go chu jang.

One more best bibimbab shop in Jeonju with lots of side dishes and the staffs were really good. It is so close to family house restaurant. Even they taught us how to mix and eat the bibimbap. We have to go and book table, we need mobile number to receive or seat number. if you dont have mobile number you can approach them. Its always busy so plan accordingly. even you can book online. They also have vegetarian option. i recommend trying this one if you are at jeonju once.

Simply my favourite place to eat in Korea. Bibimbap is delicious. Banchan are awesome. And the boss likes to give me malbolju each time ^^

Situated on the Makgeolli Alley, this restaurans is considered a hot place among rice wine lovers. Famous for its Mkgeolli (rice wine), Jeonju has a lot to offer beside the Hanok village. However I was not impressed by the food at this restaurant. It's just regular Korean menu with nothing special. The wine was good and the staff friendly. The price is balanced.

Legit experience at a local popular makgeolli restaurant. Went there for makgeolli but the food was unexpectedly great too!

This is the best magoli in the area, very smooth and fresh taste. They also provide delicious meals let you enjoy while you wnjoy magoli, highly recommended if you visit Jeonju!!!

Really nice food & rice wine.Tried chestnut rice wine for the first time and it didn't disappoint.The kimchi/pork dish is awesome as well.

A phenomenal experience, and a must do if you are in Jeonju or just Korea in general. The place is so lively and fun and fully of people having a good time. The food is excellent and it just keeps coming! They bring you dish after dish until you can't eat anymore, and it's all complementary with the Makgeolli. We had fish, kimchi, pork, soup, rice, so many things I can't even remember them all, and all very delicious. The staff were a delight, so friendly and helpful and trying to accommodate us in English. I am really impressed and you must go to this place.

Great dishes paired with makkouli. Very popular with the locals. Seafood served are very fresh too! Highly recommend but it could be busy during your usual peak meal times

Really cool vibe here. It's flooded with Koreans, and feels really authentic. It's not fancy, rustic feel to it, which adds to the pureness. They actually have 2 locations diagonal from each other. We were directed to the second one when they first was too full. At that rate, we still had to wait to get inside the 2nd one. THAT'S how popular this place is. This is one of the best plain makgeolli's I've had. I enjoy flavored makgeolli more, but this was delicious. The food was very good too. Loved it here!

You can five pies after experience, so it's not that expensive. Suitable for children than adults.

Not good

(Translated by Google) I went with my 7-year-old nephew to experience it, and it was fun even for adults. Drawing was harder than I thought, so Ryan and Chun-sik drew it, but the rest were messed up, so I just poured all the chocolate water... haha. They made 5 pieces per person and let the chocolate water harden in the refrigerator. They gave it to me. When I got home, I put it in the refrigerator and ate it. It was delicious haha. I never knew that the square shape of Jeonju Choco Pie was modeled after the shape of a coin!! Did everyone know?? lol (Original) 7살짜리조카랑 같이가서 체험했는데 어른이 해도 재미있었어요 ㅎㅎ 그림그리는 게 생각보다 어려워서 그냥 쉬운 라이언이랑 춘식이 그렸는데 나머지는 망해서 그냥 초코물 다 부어버렸...ㅋㅋㅋ 1인 5개씩 만들고 냉장고에 초코물 굳혀서 주십니다 집에와서 냉장고에 넣어놨다가 먹으니 맛있었어요 ㅎㅎ 전주 초코파이의 네모모양은 엽전모양을 본따서 만들었다는 거 처음 알았어요!! 다들 아셨나요?? ㅎㅎ

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and came 10 minutes early, but the group in front of me didn't finish so I was told to wait. I waited in the waiting area below for more than 30 minutes and went up because the team in front of me was finished, but they told me I couldn't come 20 minutes late? Haha. I was told to wait at the bottom, so I waited and explained that the team in front of me had finished so I went up, but they were stubborn and told me to wait until the next time. What are you telling me to do when I’m not ready? If this is the case, why do you take phone reservations? This is my first time coming to Jeonju and seeing a place as absurd as this. If anyone tells you to go, stop them. In particular, the person conducting the experience on the second floor is very harsh. (Original) 예약하고 10분 일찍 왔는데 앞 단체 안끝나서 기다리라 함 아래 대기공간에서 30분 이상 기다렸다가 앞 팀 끝났다고 해서 올라가니 20분 늦게 와서 안된다함?ㅋㅋㅋ 밑에서 기다리라고 해서 기다리다가 앞에 팀 끝났으니 올라가라 해서 올라왔다고 설명했는데 막무가내 다음 타임까지 기다리라고 함 준비 안됐는데 어쩌라는 거냐며? 이럴거면 전화 예약은 왜 받아요? 전주 와서 여기만큼 어이없는 곳은 처음이네요 누가 간다고하면 말리세요 특히 2층에 체험 진행하는 사람 너무 말 험하게 하시네요
