A Season in Two Settings
From April to June, South Korea shifts from soft blossom to early summer green.
In Seoul, the season unfolds across palaces and neighbourhoods. In Andong, it settles into tradition—within villages that have changed little over time.
April: Blossoms and Heritage
April is defined by cherry blossoms.
In Seoul, petals frame Gyeongbokgung Palace and drift through Bukchon’s narrow lanes. Staying at Rakkojae Seoul Hanok Village places you within this historic district, in restored hanok homes that bring you closer to the season.
In Andong, spring is quieter. At Hahoe Folk Village, blossoms fall gently over tiled roofs. Rakkojae Hahoe Hanok Hotel sits within the village itself, offering a more rooted experience of place.
May: Green and Grounded
By May, the landscape turns vivid green.
Seoul becomes ideal for walking—through palace gardens and hanok-lined streets. Rakkojae’s presence in Bukchon, including its newer hanok spaces, reflects how tradition continues to evolve within the city.
In Andong, the countryside opens up. Fields, riverbanks, and forested hills surround the village, with Rakkojae offering stays across both tiled-roof hanok and thatched choga houses.
June: Early Summer Calm
June brings warmth and longer days.
In Seoul, life gathers along the Han River, while Bukchon remains quietly removed in the mornings. In Andong, the Nakdong River reflects the changing light, and the village slows into early summer.
A Stay That Connects It All
Across both destinations, Rakkojae offers more than accommodation—it offers continuity.
- In Seoul, a refined hanok experience in Bukchon
- In Andong, immersion within a living UNESCO-listed village
- Across its evolving portfolio, including newer hanok spaces, a thoughtful preservation of Korean heritage
In Brief
April to June is not one season, but a progression—
from blossom to leaf, from city to village.
And between Seoul and Andong, South Korea reveals its most balanced self.
