Oneday Hanbok is a dedicated hanbok rental shop situated about 50 meters from Gyeongbokgung Palace, making it one of the most conveniently located options in Seoul. Visitors choose from an extensive wardrobe of both traditional jeogori-and-chima sets and slimmer modern fusion styles, try on up to two or three looks with staff assistance, and add coordinating accessories including norigae (decorative pendants), handbags, and hair pins from the complimentary selection. Special items like gat (traditional men's hats) or ikseongwan crowns are available for a small additional fee. Once dressed, guests head out to explore Gyeongbokgung Palace — where hanbok wearers receive free entry — as well as the winding alleys of Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong just minutes away on foot. Personal belongings are stored free at the shop during the rental period, and a refundable cash deposit is required per person at check-in.

Frequently asked
Do I get free Gyeongbokgung Palace admission when I rent a hanbok?

What is included in a standard hanbok rental at Oneday Hanbok?
A standard rental usually includes the hanbok outfit (jeogori top and chima skirt, or a modern fusion set), a coordinating handbag, norigae accessories, and basic hair accessories such as pins and clips. Dress underskirts are also typically provided. Special headpieces like gat or ikseongwan crowns are available for a small additional fee.

How long should I rent the hanbok for, and when should I arrive?

Note that Gyeongbokgung Palace is closed on Tuesdays, so plan your visit on another day of the week.
