Last checked 15 Oct 2026, 20:38 KST. Closing days, hours and addresses come from the Korea Tourism Organization (한국관광공사) TourAPI, via the Public Data Portal (data.go.kr), and are re-checked daily. Public holidays, substitute holidays included, follow the Korean government calendar.

Hours and closing days can change at short notice, for events, repairs or weather. Confirm with the venue before a long trip.
