Ojukheon

Parking is big, toilets are everythere from inside to outside, it’s also a handicapped-friendly place. We came here on a winter afternoon weekend and spent around 1 hour for this place. They also have money museum beside historic sites. Highly recommended.

Gives an insight into this family and its routes, making It quite real. Koreans worship the mother and son it would seem. Worth and hour or two out of your day as this quality of historic building is rare in South Korea would seem

This is the birthplace of the renowned Confucian scholar Yi Yi and his mother. It's in this beautiful location that we can trace the origins of his genius and his lifelong dedication to virtuous living. Additionally, the city museum hosts a remarkable collection of Arahat stone sculptures.

Such a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the Korean culture you can wear hanbok and walk around feeling like part of the Korean royalty. As well you can learn about the story behind the personalities that appear in the 5000 won notes and 50000 won notes.
A place you should visit if you’re in Gangneung

The place is beautiful with well maintained trees. Also there is a gift shop and free parking.

A Nice place. We I went there there was some kind of event with people in traditional clothes waiting on nap with food and you can sit with them and share the food. It was truly a place that make me feel good because of that ! I don't know how often the event occurs though.

A very beautiful historical place near Gangreung station.

A famous historical place, a birth place of 신사임당 and her son 율곡이이. Only heard of this place way back in elementary school, but I got to visit here, along with the 2018 Winter Olympic games! There was a free guide (in Korean only) at every hour for about 30 minutes, and the guide is very specific and thorough about the history of each building and tree.
Very educational and much more helpful than just wandering around by yourself!

The tickets were pretty cheap (less than $5), and there was free wifi all over the area...which was not a surprise.

They had some traditional Korean games set up in the courtyard, so we had fun reminiscing the past. They also had special exhibition of the real pieces for the Winter Olympics season!

Lovely place to walk around. It s gorgeous and the museums are all very interesting. You have free lockers inside and you can also borrow a wheelchair. The admission price is only 3000₩. We had a lovely afternoon there.

Coming into this place for the second time. It’s a peaceful location to take a walk inside of the historical sites, the birthplace Yi I (the figure inside 5,000 won) and his mother Shin Saimdang (figure inside 50,000 won).

They should have English tour guide. This place is famous for the family who are the character of Korean 5000won and 50000won notes. So beautiful place. You can see 600years old tree and house.

The information about them and their life is in English, the museum also very interesting. And the admission fee is only 3000 won.

Relatively crowded on a weekend, but worth the visit! Love the architecture. There’s a museum in here as well.

You can see the first Korean traditional house where Sinsaimdang had her son, Yulgok who is the renowned scholar in Korean history. You can also see the real background of Korean currency of 5K KRW. It is worth to visit and all information is written in English as well.

Ojukheon is the birthplace of the Korean admired Neo-Confucian scholar, Yi I and his mother, Shin Saimdang. ‘Ojuk(烏竹)’ means a black bamboo and ‘heon(軒)’ means house. Very big and peaceful place with nice architecture. Beautiful during autumn.
