#Travel itinerary I was bored with Gangneung and Sokcho, so I went on a trip to Jumunjin As soon as I arrived, I went to Sokuri Cafe!!! This cafe is close to the Goblin filming location and is located in the Goblin Market😊 This is a cafe created with a rural village feel 📍Gangnaengi Sokuri Cafe Location: 32-8 Hakgyodamgil, Jumunjin-eup, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do Opening hours: 10:00-18:00 Please take note of this!!! Kangnaengisokuri, which completed a cute country-style cafe by leaving the basics almost the same and adding props that match the country house Gangneung Kangnaengisokuri Cafe's space is not that big, so there aren't many seats‼️‼️ The signature menu of Gangneung Kangnaengisokuri Cafe is Keep eating Kangnaengisokuri ice cream We were hungry, so we went to eat Hongge Honggedo was near the goblin market and it was an unlimited refill restaurant We probably refilled 5 plates!! There are many Hongge restaurants nearby, so be sure to try them and start your day's trip❤️#Gangwon-do #Jumunjin #DokkaebiMarket

#감성숙소 It was my first time traveling to Gangneung, and it was such a beautiful place that it was hard to capture in a photo,, ㅠㅠㅠ It was so clean,, and the Aesop scent was truly a work of art,, It was prettier than the photo, and it was such a healing place the whole time I was there.
