In Korean dramas, occasionally a jjimjilbang appears, and while watching it, I really wanted to go to a jjimjilbang.
So I visited one of the top 3 jjimjilbangs in Seoul, called Soopsok Hanbang Land, during this trip!
There are a total of 5 floors, from basement 1 to 4, so the space is really big.
I wanted to relax and heal in a Korean sauna with my friend while traveling, so we stayed from lunch until dinner.
These are some charcoal kiln doors that are shaped so interestingly, and the one on the far left has the lowest temperature.
I can't stand hot things, so I only entered the room with the lowest temperature.
Inside, it looks like a cave.
At first, I was surprised because it was hot, but after sitting for about 10 minutes, I got used to it and it became warm and nice!
This is my first time experiencing a steam sauna, but it feels refreshing as I sweat and release the fatigue from my body.
You can also sit in front of a fire like this outside.
Here is less hot, so I sat with my friend and kept chatting.
And around 2 o'clock, there were a lot of people.
Earlier, I roasted sweet potatoes on a charcoal fire at the convenience store.
People were gathered in front of the charcoal kiln, cooking and eating rice cakes and sweet potatoes, just like in the picture.
It's a really fascinating experience!
Sweet potatoes turn black on the outside when they are fully cooked.
Tastes delicious inside even though it looks like charcoal. It's okay.
Here, the tip is to put sweet potatoes in charcoal first because they take longer to cook than you think, and spend time steaming them!
This is the egg sold at the convenience store, but I couldn't help but buy it because of its shiny shell.
The regular life was much more chewy and moist than eggs and it was delicious.
I was eating sweet potatoes when the woman next to me gave me kimchi.
When I tried eating it because you recommended it as delicious when eaten together, it was absolutely delicious!
The way of eating sweet potatoes in Korea is called eating it with kimchi.
Next to the charcoal kiln, there is a space where you can lie down like this.
In winter, it's too cold to stay.
There are a lot of mountains around, so it feels like being in nature.
Finally, I tried wearing a headband that I used to see in Korean dramas.
So cute, I took a lot of pictures like that.
I went back down again and had dinner.
It's samgyeopsal cooked on charcoal!
The quality of the meat sold here is good.
The meat was thick and really delicious!
In a jjimjilbang, you can even eat Korean-style samgyeopsal. I love it so much.
I spent about 5 hours there and I wouldn't have been bored even if I stayed longer.
There were also many Korean couples in the jjimjilbang.
Date course or a travel course with friends, I recommend visiting the Hanbang Land in the forest!
