Goseong Wanggok Village is a traditional village located about 1.5 kilometers away from the East Sea. Its secluded location nestled among five hills has allowed the village to retain its appearance and tradition for a long time. Because of its geographic features, the village was also protected from disasters like wars and mountain wildfires, allowing the area to preserve its form. Wanggok Village’s origins are said to date back to the 14th century, when it was first settled as a clan village and survived for over nearly 600 years. The entire village has preserved its original appearance and is recognized for its historical and academic value. Here, visitors can observe traditional northern-style houses, clusters of thatched houses, and a gateless yard. Some traditional hanok buildings offer accommodations as well, accepting visitors to stay overnight through online reservations.
