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.

La puerta Dongdaemun fue originalmente llamada Heunginjimun, y es la antigua entrada oriental a la ciudad de Hanyang (Seúl).
Dongdaemun fue edificada por el rey Taejo in 1396, renovada por el rey Danjong en 1453, y su actual estructura fue hecha por el rey Gojong en 1869. Aparentemente, la gente comenzó a llamarla Heunginjimun desde los tiempos del rey Sejo (1455-1468). Pese a que la puerta es conocida en general con el nombre de Dongdaemun, mucha gente aún la sigue denominando Heunginjimun, con la intención de preservar su antiguo legado.
La característica más interesante de Dongdaemun es que tiene un ongseong, un muro externo especialmente construido con forma de media luna. Originalmente, el palacio real en Hanyang se había erigido sobre un terreno bajo, por lo que era difícil defenderlo de las invasiones. Por ello, hicieron levantar un muro para compensar dichas desventajas. Se puede observar que la puerta fue hecha teniendo en consideración la geografía del entorno. Las rocas de ongseong tienen diferentes colores, que fueron cambiando a través de las diversas obras de renovaciones que sufrió la puerta.
En el centro del muro reforzado de piedra se encuentra la puerta más pequeña Hongyemun. Sobre esta, se halla el piso intermedio compuesto de cinco secciones y el techo tiene el estilo llamado "de Ujingak". En los aleros del techo están las estatuas japsang, que se parecen a animales y se dice que espantan a los espíritus malignos. La estructura de Dongdaemun tiene una intrincada técnica de los detalles y hay una gran exaltación de la decoración, con lo que muestra muy bien el estilo de la arquitectura que había en los últimos tiempos del período Joseon.

The main building in Seoul is a traditional Korean cultural space renovated by Jeong Yeong-jin, a human cultural asset, from a hanok with a history of 130 years. Traditional flags, fences, pavilions, chimneys, and jangdokdae are holding the blue sky with pine trees, creating a harmonious Korean-style house. Passing through the elegant tall gate, as you see the jangdokdae, a small but clean hanok will be revealed, and the pine trees and bamboo trees added to the natural beauty, while the loving Gomusin placed on the stone brings back beautiful memories.
Rakkojae is a place where the customs of the aristocrats in the past are melted in various places, creating a wonderful atmosphere by carefully reviving the pavilion, ponds, and daecheongmaru. Especially, Daecheongmaru adds the beauty of the margins of hanok to give you a sense of refreshment. As the old scholars did, sitting on the pavilion makes the time flow slow and the wind that passes over the Sotdae feels special.
In addition, you can experience the beauty of Korean tradition with various programs such as tea ceremony, jjimjilbang, royal robes, and kimchi-making along with traditional Korean food. Rakkojae's accommodation, reminiscent of a nobleman's house in the Joseon Dynasty, is well-kept and comfortable that it is comparable to a luxury hotel, and the natural jade-covered ondol rooms and firewood jjimjilbangs made of cheongito provide a healthy journey for many guests.
