#Emotional Accommodation Hadomun Stay, which has two rooms in Jungdomun and Sangdomun and is operated like a cafe, is a cafe already famous for its square courtyard with planterium, and it was a place that was rumored because it added a stay! I stayed in Jungdomun on the 2nd floor, and the living room was full of luxurious furniture to the point that it felt like I had entered a Seongsu furniture editing shop for a moment, so it was a really good time to experience and feel it even for a day :) The bedroom is equipped with Duxiana and Simmons, so a good night's sleep is guaranteed, and before going to bed, I enjoyed an open-air bath in a really luxurious 24-hour jacuzzi. It was a great success to stay and spend time differently at Sokcho Emotional Accommodation 💙 . . 📍 Hadomun Stay @hadomun_stay_ 50 Hadomun-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, 1st and 2nd floor Hadomun 🕰 Check-in 16:00 Check-out 11:00 🛏️ Use of Jungdomun room ▪Up to 4 people based on 2 people ▪️Individual Jacuzzi ▪️Living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom #Sokcho #Hot place

This year's newly opened 5-star Sokcho hotel There were a lot of good and bad reviews, so I went there myself 🏃♀️🏃♀️ The price was in the late 200,000 won range for same-day reservations It costs 80,000 won per person to enter the pool, but guests get a 10% discount But it still felt a little expensive All rooms have a jacuzzi, so it was good to play in the water when the pool wasn't operating, and the service was good Everything else was good, but the price of the pool was a bit disappointing! This is my personal opinion :) So when you make a reservation, I recommend booking a room that includes a pool package #October travel support event #Sokcho travel #Cassiasokcho

#SoloTravel #100TravelStyles I recommend a good cafe to visit when traveling alone in Sokcho, Gangwon-do. It is Stay Orot. The central courtyard is very beautiful, and in the fall, you can enjoy the autumn leaves of the mountains and trees at a glance, so it is a good cafe to quietly heal while contemplating. I went there early and enjoyed it more quietly. Make sure to stop by when you travel to Sokcho! **Location - Stay Orot Stay Orot, 42 Gwangmyeong-ro 408beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do

📍1085 Seoraksan-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do Take the Gwongeumseong Cable Car in Sokcho to enjoy a stunning view of Seoraksan.

Thanks to the cable car, I was able to wear a beautiful dress and capture some unforgettable photos at the mountain's peak. I hope everyone can take some memorable photos at Gwongeumseong.

#WinterTravelDestination #SokchoBeach If you're looking for a winter beach, I'll introduce you to a quiet and relaxing place!! It's Sokcho Beach in Sokcho. 🤗 Sokcho Beach is very crowded in the summer, but in the winter, there are fewer people, so you can enjoy it leisurely. Also, the color of the sea is really blue and refreshing, so it's great for healing. 💙 ☑️Location: Sokcho Beach (Joyang-dong, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do) ☑️Information: - There are fewer people and it's relaxing in the winter compared to the summer!! - The color of the sea is refreshing and beautiful🌊 - There's a Pyeongchang Olympic landmark. ㅎㅎ If you want to see a beautiful winter beach, I highly recommend leaving for Sokcho right now👍🏻
