The route
Walk it
Follow the numbers in order and they add up to one walkable route. Confirm train and bus times once more before you set out.
Stay compact
Hanok Village is dense enough for a first night; going wider usually adds fatigue, not value.
Dinner before drift
Choose dinner before the group gets too tired to navigate back.
Route sanity check
Before using the page in the field, confirm current hours, weather, and the first exit so the route stays useful rather than decorative.
