I found the first-floor shop easy to reach and could start comparing the organized hanbok sections soon after entering.

The YES Hanbok store is conveniently located just a minute away from Gyeongbokgung Station (경복궁역) and 5 minutes away from Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it's a very good spot to rent hanboks to where while you explore and take beautiful pictures at Gyeongbokgung Palace.

YES Hanbok has more than 1,000 general and luxury hanboks to choose from, so you can choose the style and colors according to your preferences.

How does the fitting consultation work?

I compared colors and categories first, then asked staff for help with combinations and sizing before choosing my outfit.

Most importantly, the store is also arranged in separate sections for shirts and skirts, making it even easier to choose.

In addition to women's hanboks, there are various men's hanboks available here, including warrior, king and luxury styles. If you don't know how to match the pieces, the store has set samples with prices you can refer to.

If you can't choose what to wear, you can ask the staff for advice. The staff are so friendly and always helped us so willingly! You can tell them your favorite style.

What was the rental service like?

I chose accessories after the hanbok, used the styling area, and checked which hats, shoes, bags, and hair items were free or paid.

If you want to add something special to your outfit, wearing a hat is a good idea. There are many different types of hats and styles in the store that will definitely make you stand out.

In the winter, the store also offers paid thermal vests and free underskirts for the women's hanboks!

You can see the shoe sizes on the shoe stands.

The store has bags available too, and some are included, depending on the current rental terms You can pick a style that matches your outfit.

Where do you change and store your belongings?

I used the shop’s changing area and lockers, which made it easier to leave for the palace without carrying extra belongings.

There are a lot of changing rooms in the store, so don't worry. If you're with a group of friends or if the store is busy, the rooms are very large and convenient to change in together.

In addition, there are also free lockers to store your luggage. However, the store asks that two people use one locker so that there will be enough lockers for all guests.

You can go explore after you get your rental!

How does payment work at YES Hanbok?

The final payment depends on the live option and any paid add-ons, so check the current Creatrip checkout and confirm extras with staff.

I did not treat the old article price table as current. Before paying, review the selected rental duration, included items, paid accessories, return deadline, and cancellation terms on the Creatrip booking page. If an add-on is decided at the shop, ask staff to confirm its price before use.

What is it like to walk to Gyeongbokgung in hanbok?

After changing, I could leave the shop and walk toward Gyeongbokgung Palace while keeping the return deadline in mind.

You can simply rent the Hanbok of your choice and walk directly to Gyeongbokgung Palace. You don't need towaste your time on the streets.
