Iksan City in Jeonbuk is significantly expanding traditional culture tourism by connecting over 4,000 Jangdok (fermentation crock) gardens and Jeonju Hanok Village through a city tour.

According to the city on the 23rd, ‘Gosrak,’ which offers an organic traditional fermented food experience with more than 4,000 earthenware crocks spread across a 30,000-pyeong Jangdok garden, will pilot a traditional culture tour linked with ‘Jeonju Hanok Village’ starting this month.

As the number of tourists increases during the ‘2023 Iksan Visit Year,’ the city is building a systematic tourism infrastructure and expanding the traditional culture tourism market through cooperation with neighboring regions.

Accordingly, along with Jeonbuk’s representative tourist attraction, Hanok Village, visitors can enjoy gourmet food made from organic ingredients at Gosrak and create fermented foods themselves, enhancing the quality of traditional cultural travel through a gourmet experience tour.

Additionally, the neat Jangdokdae (rows of fermentation crocks), pine forests reminiscent of traditional landscape paintings, and walking paths provide another scenic experience of traditional flavors, leisure, and healing.

The traditional culture tour bus is available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for groups of 15 or more with reservations and is scheduled to operate until the end of July.

Travel applications can be made through the promotional agency Navinetworks or by adding concierge24 on SNS as a friend. For more details, visit the Iksan City Culture and Tourism website.

Two traditional culture tour buses operate daily. The first bus, departing at 9 a.m., starts in front of Jeonju Jeonbuk Bank Hanok Village branch, tours Agape Garden, Gosrak, and Mireuksaji, and ends at Jeonju Pungnammun Jeonbuk Bank at 3 p.m. The second bus departs at 11 a.m. from the same location and follows a course of Gosrak, Prison Set, and Agape Garden, finishing at 5 p.m.

However, on Saturdays, instead of Mireuksaji on the first bus and Agape Garden on the second, a unique cultural performance with citizens is held at the Iksan City Complex Youth Mall Customer Center. The performances include various events such as ballads, jazz, pop songs, trot, classical music, K-POP dance, balloon art, and magic shows.

A city official stated, “As the second half of the 2023 Iksan Visit Year approaches, we plan to maximize the use of our city’s representative tourist attractions to offer visitors an upgraded traditional and historical cultural tourism experience through regional cooperation.”
