Jeonju Hanok Village Hanbok Rental: Wear Traditional Korean Dress

You pick your hanbok style before you step into the village streets.

Rent a traditional hanbok (Korean dress) in Jeonju Hanok Village for 1.5 to 4 hours, with hair styling and a choice of basic or themed costumes. The rental includes time to select your outfit, up to 30 minutes, and you can try on twice before deciding. You're responsible for returning the hanbok on time. Late returns incur a per-minute charge. A guide speaks English, Korean or Chinese.

Step-by-step itinerary

Hanbok rental and village visit

• Go to Gyeonggijeon Hall ticket office
• Turn left at the intersection
• Walk about 20 meters to rental location
• Rent hanbok for 1.5 to 4 hours
• Wear hanbok and explore Jeonju Hanok Village
• Visit nearby Gyeongbok Palace and Changdeok Palace

The experience

The rental shop sits near Gyeonggijeon Hall, about 20 meters from the main intersection in Jeonju Hanok Village. You arrive, pick your hanbok (either a classic basic style or a themed version), and spend up to half an hour trying on and getting your hair styled before you head out into the village. The time you spend selecting counts toward your rental window, so if you linger over choices, that time comes out of the hours you have to wear and walk around. You can try on a hanbok twice to make sure it fits and feels right.

Once dressed, you explore Jeonju Hanok Village on your own terms: the narrow lanes lined with traditional wooden houses, the tea shops and galleries tucked into old storefronts, the quiet courtyards. The rental runs from 1.5 hours up to 4 hours depending on which option you book. If you want to visit nearby Gyeongbok Palace or Changdeok Palace while wearing the hanbok, you'll need to pay their separate entrance fees and arrange your own transport. The hanbok itself needs to come back on time: every 10 minutes past your return window adds 1,000 won for a basic hanbok or 2,000 won for a themed one, charged per person.

Sizes run from S to XL for both men and women, and children's hanboks are available. Bring your ID or passport. If you choose a package option, you get an inner skirt and a locker to store your belongings while you're out. The experience is wheelchair accessible, and the area has public transportation nearby if you need it.

The package option gives you a locker, which matters if you're carrying a bag or valuables you don't want to keep with you while dressed.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Korean and Chinese.

Can I wear the hanbok to visit Gyeongbok Palace and Changdeok Palace?

You can wear the hanbok to either palace, but you'll need to pay their entrance fees separately and arrange your own transport. The rental time still counts down while you're there, so factor in travel time when you choose your rental length.

What happens if I'm late returning the hanbok?

Late returns cost 1,000 won per 10 minutes for a basic hanbok or 2,000 won per 10 minutes for a themed hanbok, charged per person. The charge applies from the moment your rental window closes.

How long does it take to pick a hanbok and get my hair styled?

You have up to 30 minutes to select and try on your hanbok and get your hair styled. This time counts toward your total rental hours, so if you take the full 30 minutes, you'll have the rest of your booked time to wear it and explore.

What's included in the package option?

The package option adds an inner skirt and a locker to store your personal belongings while you're wearing the hanbok and walking around the village.

Do I need to bring anything?

Bring your ID or passport. If you damage or soil the hanbok, you'll be charged for repairs or cleaning. If you lose any accessories or the locker key, you'll pay to replace them.

Is there a guide with me while I wear the hanbok?

A guide is available in English, Korean or Chinese, though the experience is primarily self-guided once you're dressed. You explore Jeonju Hanok Village on your own pace.
