It's very close to the exit of Gyeongbokgung subway station, and you can get to Gyeongbokgung Palace just across the street. It's super convenient👍 Fortunately, there aren't many people when I visit on weekdays. The store staff will help you put on Hanbok and braid your hair (the braiding sister is very attentive and her hair is beautifully styled) ) Recommended for friends who want to experience Hanbok~
