Tips
- Per Kakao Map it is 48m, about a minute on foot, from Dongdaemun Station (Lines 1 and 4) Exit 1, close to Heunginjimun Gate, so it fits before or after a walk along the city wall.
- The hours are what Kakao Map, Naver and 2026 blogs agreed on as of 7 October 2026. Even 24-hour places can close for holidays or other reasons, so check a map app on the day.
