Jeju Folk Village

A little display village of yesteryear. Lots of little huts , some that allows you to walk through and experience real life of the old days . Easy walk with lots of little spots to sit and relax . Has a little zoo with a few animals, rabbits , deer, geese, and pigs. Qwerty codes on all displays that allows you to listen to audio in a few different languages on your phone . Has 2 self-serving 7/11 stores for light refreshments. Overall, it was a nice experience, 8.5/10

There’s a restaurant in this village that serves delicious and refreshing buckwheat noodles. Seems it is run by Jeju Farmers, the place is big and airy with a nice garden view. There are dry and soup versions, we like the dry buckwheat noodles better as it has a flavourful combination of toppings and unique sauces. Location is quite far away from town, and accessible by car.

Very nice walking around. Very well maintained with flowers and gardens and the houses. Really get a sense of the living of Jeju We didn't take audio guide, which might have helped as little other information or interaction, so I suggest this to English speaking tourists. The night light tour looks to be lovely option..

Nice place to explore. Have replicas of old Jeju village houses and shows how the people used to live. They have a small animal feeding area for kids. Quite educational but young kids might get bored after a while.

I loved it, but honestly at one point you've seen it and it becomes quite repetitive. And you kind of have to follow the road. Funny to see 7/11's in the folk village though 😅.

Pretty amazing well preserved traditional houses and villages display on Jeju. I have recently watched some part of the KTV show called "When life gives you tangerine" which is based on life in Jeju so it's very cool to see these houses in real life. Turned out the Dae Jang Geum tv show that I saw more than 20 years ago also filmed at this location! I can see why people are crazy about following filming locations of their favourite show, cause it's pretty cool to see the real things! You can rent Hanbok to wear while walking around in the village and take photos. There is also a mini zoo on site where you can feed some animals with vegetables. There are some cafes and restaurants on the main market street for drinks and snacks as well. Overall, pretty interesting places and got some fun activities to do.

Jeju Folk Village: A Journey Through Time and Culture (4/5 Stars) Rating: • Authenticity: 5/5 (Well-researched and detailed, offering a genuine glimpse into traditional Korean life) • Activities: 4/5 (Fun traditional activities like pot throwing, Jeju yutz games, and the opportunity to try on traditional outfits) • Ambiance: 4/5 (Beautiful architecture, charming villages, and a peaceful atmosphere) • Convenience: 4/5 (Helpful staff, bike storage, and PEV rentals for easy exploration) Overall: 4/5 Donkey and I had a wonderful time at Jeju Folk Village. It was like stepping back in time and experiencing traditional Korean life firsthand. We were blown away by the beautiful architecture, the traditional houses, and the fascinating exhibits. We arrived at the village on our trifold bicycle and were greeted by a very kind ticketing lady. She even spoke English and offered us a space to store our bicycle and luggage so we could explore the village without any worry. That was incredibly helpful. We loved exploring the different themed villages, like the mountain villages and the fishing villages. It was so interesting to see how people lived in Jeju back in the 1890s. The village feels so authentic, thanks to the extensive research and attention to detail. Since we'd been on a long day of cycling for our Round Island Jeju bike adventure, we decided to rent a fun little electric car to explore the village without tiring our legs. The PEV rental cost 20,000 won for an hour, but the kind lady who rented them to us extended our time by 30 minutes for free, so we could relax and take our time exploring the village. The PEVs were easy to use and a breeze to manoeuvre around the village, making it a much more enjoyable experience. We also enjoyed trying our hand at some traditional activities, like pot throwing and Jeju yutz games. It was a lot of fun to learn about these cultural practices. We saw people trying on traditional wedding outfits, but we didn't get a chance to try them on ourselves. We were hoping to catch a traditional cultural performance, but unfortunately, we didn't see any during our visit, even though it was mentioned that there would be several performances throughout the day. It's a bit disappointing, but maybe we just weren't there at the right time. There was even a small animal farm within the village, which was a nice surprise for us. Overall, Jeju Folk Village is a must-visit. It's a truly immersive experience that we recommend for anyone interested in Korean history and culture.

The Jeju Folk Village is an interesting display of a centuries-past Jeju village, complete with the island's famous black pigs. While it does offer an audio guide for each section, the English version is really hard to listen to as it sounds like it's both a direct AI translation and computer voice narration. A tour would be recommended to make the history come alive because without an effective audio guide or animated live guide, one can begin to lose some interest after awhile as it is very large. We really loved the camellia maze and the beautiful gardens throughout. Allow yourself some time. Unlike other places we visited, this was not packed wall to wall with tour groups. Maybe we were lucky.
