Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.

Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.

Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).

One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.

The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

El campanario Bosingak es el lugar en donde se encontraba la campana que daba la señal de la hora, tanto para las áreas del interior y exterior de la muralla de la ciudad capital. Fue construido en el 13º año (1468) del reinado de Sejo de la época Joseon, y en aquel tiempo, se fundó también el templo Wongaksa, pero fue trasladado al sitio actual, durante el reinado de Gwanghaegun (1619). En la antigüedad, la campana se tocaba 33 veces a las 4:00 de la mañana, y 28 veces a las 22:00 de la noche, y era utilizada para dar la señal de la hora, y como símbolo de la apertura y cierre del portón de la muralla. Es un patrimonio cultural de gran valor para los estudios académicos. Siendo el Tesoro Nº 2, la pieza original se encuentra en el Museo Nacional de Corea.

The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume. Its calligraphy and drawing orchid programs are run directly by the owner, who used to work as a classical Chinese teacher at a high school.

Residencia Real Unhyeongung en Seúl (서울 운현궁)

Samil-daero 464, Jongno-gu, Seúl

Es un patrimonio cultural, designado Sitio Histórico, ubicado en Unni-dong, Jongno-gu. Antigüamente no era un palacio como lo es el de Gyeongbokgung, sino que se trataba de la residencia de los miembros de la Familia Real, pero con el paso del tiempo se lo ha considerado como un palacio. La denominación en coreano del palacio Gyeongbokgung sería “Gunggwol”. El término “Gung” hace referencia al espacio de residencia, mientras que la palabra “Gwol” se refiere al espacio político. Esto significa que en Gyeongbokgung se llevaba a cabo la vida cotidiana y política de la Corte Real; pero en Unhyeongung residía la Familia Real de Heungseon Daewongun, regente y padre del rey Gojong. Cabe señalar que hacia finales de la época Joseon, en esta residencia real se han originado la mayoría de los sucesos históricos, políticas revolucionarias, política de aislamiento, etc., todo lo cual resalta su simbolismo histórico.

La construcción para ampliar el palacio Unhyeongung comenzó a un mes de que Gojong asumiera el trono, a petición de la madre del Rey. En un principio, se encontraba localizado en el área intermedia entre los palacios Changdeokgung y Gyeongbokgung, pero a medida que se fue extendiendo, con una cantidad de edificaciones anexas, ha abarcado la zona actual que corresponde a la Universidad femenina de Duksung, el antiguo edificio de la emisora TBC, el Centro Cultural Japonés, la Escuela primaria Gyodong y el edificio de la compañía Samwhan.

El edificio principal de Unhyeongung es la sala Noandang, construida en septiembre de 1864. Entre otras construcciones famosas se destacan Norakdang, Irodang, y las cuatro puertas de acceso al palacio, aunque en la actualidad ha quedado una sola puerta. Norakdang, siendo la edificación central del palacio, fue el escenario de los grandes festivos familiares, y Noandang fue el despacho de Daewongun, la construcción más significativa en la vida de este hombre, ya que fue el lugar en donde pasó los momentos más importantes de su vida y donde falleció. Presenta un estilo arquitectónico tradicional coreano, con tejado, cuyos extremos estaban decorados elegantemente. Irodang, situado al lado Norakdang, tiene la forma de un cuadrado, y en su interior se encuentra un hermoso jardín. Este lugar ha recibido la atención y el cuidado solo durante el período de regencia de Heungseon Daewongun, ya que luego de su muerte, fue difícil el mantenimiento. La residencia ha tomado la apariencia actual a partir de noviembre de 1993, que es cuando el gobierno de Seúl tomó posesión del establecimiento, y por lo cual, ejecutó las obras de remodelación y restauración.
