GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE - JOURNAL
If you’ve ever dreamed of living out your K-Drama fantasy, Gyeongbokgung Palace is the perfect place to do it. The moment you put on a hanbok and step inside the palace grounds, you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. It’s such a surreal experience to walk through the grand gates, wander the courtyards, and imagine the lives of royals and nobles from centuries ago.
What makes it even more exciting is that you won’t be the only one in costume. Tourists and even some locals stroll around the palace in their colorful hanboks, striking poses, snapping photos, and enjoying the vibe. The whole atmosphere feels festive and alive, almost like being on the set of a historical drama.

Finding Magic in Kawaguchiko Before Climbing Mt. Fuji
Before my Mt. Fuji climb, I decided to make Kawaguchiko my base. I booked a guesthouse for four days, though, in reality, I only had one free afternoon to actually explore the town. Still, that short window turned out to be enough to remind me why I love traveling.
Where I Stayed
I checked into a cozy guesthouse in Kawaguchiko, HOSTEL MICHIKUSA-YA, which gave me the perfect access point not just to Mt. Fuji but also to the peaceful charm of the lakeside town. The vibe was quiet and laid-back, a perfect contrast to the intensity of preparing for a mountain climb.
