About Cafe 1in1jan

There are plenty of hanok villages in Seoul that have cafes inside and everyone knows about the beautiful Hanok villages in Bukchon Hanok Village.

Eunpyeong Hanok Village

But do you know about Eunpyeong Hanok Village (은평한옥마을)? I think you do not. Because this part of Seoul is very far away from the center of downtown or any famous districts as Hongdae, Gangnam, City Hall. So, the cool thing about this place is its coffeeshop called 1in1jan (1인1잔).

How it looks like

This fancy restaurant/coffee shop is 5 poor building located in traditional hanok village around Bukhansan mountain. It is famous for the stunning view of the mountain tops with hanok houses from the windows of every floor. However, location might be not overcrowded but the restaurant/coffee shop is always full of visitors such as cute couples, friends or even students who come for studying. 

How to get there

The uncomfortable thing about this place is that there is no subway station around. I used subway to Yeonsinnae station (Seoul Subway 6 line) 연신내역. I took exit number 3 and went straight 500 metres to the bus station 연서시장 (Bus Stop #12-185) or Yeonseo Market (Bus Stop #12-185).

At Yeonseo Market you can take 7211 or 701 bus and after eleven stops 11 minutes you can get off the bus on the station 하나고·삼천사·진관사입구 정류장 (Bus Stop #12-437) or Hanago·Samcheonsa·Jingwansa.

From Seoul station you can take bus number 701 and after 23 stops get off the get off the bus on the station 하나고·삼천사·진관사입구 정류장 ((Bus Stop #12-437).

From Myeong-dong station:  Myeong-dong- Chungmuro station-Yeonsinnae station-7211bus/701bus-Hanago station.
