Seosan Yugibang House is Chungcheongnam-do Folk Cultural Property No. 23, a traditional house built in 1919 during the Japanese colonial period. Built facing south against a low hill covered with pine trees, this old house is also famous for its daffodils that bloom from late March to April. I visited the Seosan Yugibang House Daffodil Festival on March 22.
The festival was originally scheduled to start on March 22, but the daffodils bloomed later than expected, so the festival was postponed to March 29. Still, I was able to enjoy the daffodils in full bloom behind the Yugibang House.
The admission fee to the Yugibang House is 8,000 won for adults, as you can see in the photo above. The above fee is for the festival period, and when I visited, the fee was 4,000 won for adults.
It is open 365 days a year, and the opening hours in the photo above are from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, but on the website, it is from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so you may need to check.
After paying the entrance fee and going inside, a large swing welcomes visitors. It looks like a good place to take pictures with the Yugyobang house in the background.
Check out the guide map of the organic farmhouse. You can see a wide field of daffodils surrounding the house. In particular, there is a fairly large field of daffodils on the hill behind the house.
However, if the daffodils are not in bloom, you may feel that there is not much to see or do here. Also, since there are no restaurants, it is a bit disappointing that you have to go somewhere else to eat.
However, since it is a filming location for many dramas such as Mr. Sunshine, My Heart Is Beating, and Red Heart, it could be a more meaningful visit if you enjoyed watching the dramas.
Many people flocked to see the daffodils. Daffodils are in full bloom in late March in sunny areas, and in shady areas where the sun doesn’t shine much, they are in full bloom from mid to late April.
The Yugibang House has the Sarangchae space on the east and the Anchae space on the west, and the two spaces are separated by a mud wall.
As an old traditional house, it has a quiet charm. It is said to have high historical value as a house from the late Joseon Dynasty because it is well preserved.
The view of daffodils from inside the house is even more beautiful. Time seems to pass slowly.
This is a view of daffodils from the top of a hill. It looks like a starry world covered with golden stars.
If you visit in mid-April, you will be able to enjoy a more beautiful view. It is said that the daffodils were started as a hobby by the owner of the old house and became what they are now. It is said that the original bamboo forest was removed over a period of 3-4 years and the daffodil garden was carefully maintained for 17 years.
It’s a bit hectic because there are so many people, but I guess it’s natural for such a beautiful place to have so many people.
Although it was a pity that I could not see more daffodils due to the somewhat late blooming, I think the Seosan Yugibang House Daffodil Festival was a good place to feel the spring. The daffodils, combined with the old traditional Korean houses, were like a painting.
