#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.

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

“What to prepare for Psy’s soaking show” - Cap, parasol 🧢 Standing seats open two hours before the concert. You have to wait in the hot sun for an hour and a half, so the sun is so strong. - Ice water 💦 They sell ice water in front, but the price is too high. I recommend buying it at a convenience store before you go. - Towel 🧖♀️ You get wetter than you think, so I highly recommend bringing a disposable towel from Daiso. - Waterproof pack or waterproof bag 💼 They provide plastic bags at Psy’s concert, but they don’t do a great job of waterproofing, so I recommend bringing your own. - Sandals, Crocs, aqua shoes 🩴 Since you’ll be running around the concert, sandals, Crocs, or aqua shoes are more comfortable than slippers. - Snacks 🍪 It’s harder than you think. It’s good to have some snacks or chocolate in between. - Extra clothes 👕 They give out raincoats at Psy’s concert, but they’re not waterproof enough for the concert. They tell you to wear it after the show, but if you feel uncomfortable, I recommend bringing extra clothes. “Psy’s Drenched Show Tips” - If you are a reserved seat audience member, I recommend going as slowly as possible. You will consume more energy than you think while waiting. - I recommend that you go to the bathroom before entering. - I do not recommend wearing goggles or goggles. I recommend wearing a cap because you cannot see well due to the humidity. - I recommend that you park as early as possible. - If you did not prepare blue clothes, blue clothes goods are sold in front of the concert hall on the day. - I highly recommend that you eat a hearty meal before the show. - The clothing tip is that you will get very wet, so I do not recommend jeans or long pants. I went to the 2024 Sokcho Psy’s Drenched Show concert. The Sokcho Psy’s Drenched Show was held at Sokcho Stadium. Sung Si-kyung, Rain, and Jung Ji-hoon appeared as guests. On this day, we performed the encore song for two and a half hours.😂 #Concert #Psy’s Drenched Show #PsyDrunkShowConcert #SummerPsyDrunkShow #100TravelStyles #Couples

#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

#SummerTravel - Sokcho Shingahoejip - Business hours 10:00-22:00 I went to Shingahoejip because I thought I had to eat raw fish when I came to Sokcho Beach! Since there were two of us, I asked the owner for a menu recommendation and ordered a small assorted sashimi! The assorted sashimi included spicy fish stew, and we ate until we were full and still had some leftover! There are at least 20 kinds of sukidashi, and among them, the raw fish, abalone, sea squirt, and boiled octopus were delicious, and the assorted sashimi came with sea bass, flatfish, and flounder, and they were really fresh and chewy! I recommend Shingahoejip because it is a restaurant where dogs are allowed, so you can visit comfortably and eat at a good price!
