Bathing is a beloved tradition in Korea, offering a sense of renewal. Discover some of the unique local bathhouses across Korea, recommended by Mok Jisoo, head of Jibap Mokyoktang magazine in Busan. The Ilyook Bathhouse in Anseong is a model of safety, having been remodeled in 2024 with features like rounded edges and green tiles for easy visibility, ensuring a safe environment for the elderly. Gumechon Bathhouse in Mokpo evokes childhood memories with its small but well-equipped facilities, located in a street designated as a modern historical culture space. Finally, Hallym Public Bath in Jeju, housed in a well-maintained building from the Japanese colonial period, offers both a traditional bathing experience and the charm of a seaside inn, ideal for wedding photoshoots.
