Seoul Gwanghwamun Hanok Cafe ‘Naeja Sanghoe’

The Gwanghwamun area is one of Seoul’s representative office districts. Thanks to this, you can find a variety of restaurants and cafes to cater to the needs of numerous office workers.

Especially in the Gwanghwamun area, you can find many cafes, ranging from large franchise cafes to small, independently-run ones.

Moreover, you can find cafes with a unique atmosphere, not just ordinary ones. The ‘Naeja Sanghoe’ that I visited this time is one such cafe that has transformed a hanok (traditional Korean house) into a fusion-style cafe.

Describing Naeja Sanghoe as an authentic hanok cafe is a bit ambiguous. While the framework of the hanok is preserved, it has been transformed in a way that deviates somewhat from the traditional hanok ambiance, incorporating glass doors for entry.

However, this bold transformation makes the place even more special. It seamlessly combines the serene atmosphere of a hanok with a sophisticated feel brought about by the use of glass.

“Naeja Sanghoe: Selling Various Items”

Naeja Sanghoe is not only a cafe but also a place that sells quaint items. It can be described as a small shop within the cafe, selling everyday items in a ‘shop-in-shop’ format. Thanks to this, it’s said that the cafe sees a high number of female visitors.

While sipping a cup of coffee, you can also browse the everyday items being sold in the cafe. It’s a special cafe in the Gwanghwamun area where you can enjoy the charm of a hanok, a cafe, and a variety store all at once.

As a fusion hanok cafe that exudes a unique and subtle ambiance, it’s a great place to use for gatherings or dates.
