“Worth it if Jeonju is your only stop in Korea or if you want to get away from the busy city”
Aug 2022
If you will ONLY visit Jeonju and not other locations with shrines and palaces or if you want a quiet walk away from the busy city then go ahead, but for us it was not worth our effort because we have seen many others and it was a bit out of the way and we wanted to pack in a lot on our 2 day 1 night trip and this took more time than I wanted. It’s a reasonably short walk less than a mile surely- up hillsides and over a bridge. It was not at all crowded and we went ahead to the art district afterwards since we were close. It was fine, but compared to everything else we’ve done in this beautiful country it wasn’t worth our time.

More to see on Omokdae
Dec 2019
Both are located on the steep upslope/stairs. Imokdae is a stone tablet marking where the king’s great grand......grandfather was born. Omokdae is the pavilion and another stone tablet. Come here for the history.

Nothing much to see
Nov 2019
A nice view of the Hanok Village but nothing much, otherwise. It's not very crowded so lovely place to take some nice photos.

Interesting Story behind the place itself
Aug 2019
This place is located on top of a hill and is one of the places where the King Taejo celebrated his victory against Japanese invaders.
It needs a short walk from Jeonju Village.
It's on the way for (Jaman Mural Village).
I went there in august, in a really hot day, and was very pleasant take a little rest under the pavillion.
From here where you can look down the Hanok village, but I think it's not the best view on the Village.

Worth climbing the stairs!
Oct 2019 • Couples
Situated on the hill accessible via Hanok village. Beautiful views over Hanok village. Serene surroundings with the tall trees.

Worth climbing the hill.

Nice shrine area & views over hanok village
Oct 2019 • Couples
It's an easy walk from the main entrance to the hanok village up the main round & see a slope to the right, follow this & the wooden stair case to the open area with Omokdae shrine pavilion. Follow the wooden stairs & walk ways from the area to find great views over the hanok village roof tops. Take the bridge over the road to the other side for the Imokdae area

High place of Jeonju Hanok Village
Aug 2019
Try to reach Omokdae and feel relax in the gazebo, by hiking a little while and get a full landscape of Jeonju.

Hilltop sites
Aug 2019
These two locations are next to one another on a hill top close to the centre of Jeonju. The walk up is a short, fairly steep climb, not too difficult. Good vies of the Hanok village can be had on the climb. Worth a short detour to see the views.

Nice short walk above Jeonju hanok village
Oct 2018 • Couples
We walked uphill from Jeonju hanok village to visit Omokdae and Imokdae. The pavilions are both beautiful, but we were expecting better views after reading the reviews. There wasn't any view of the hanok village from either of the pavilions, instead there's a partial view from the path up the hill to Omokdae. Nice to visit if you have lots of time, but certainly not a must-see.
