Jochiwonㄱ

Stepping into the interior decorated with warm wood textures, visitors are greeted by the cozy atmosphere of an old train station waiting room. It is a tea house perfect for enjoying leisure after getting off the train and a complex cultural space containing stories of Hangeul and the region. A long-vacant space on the first floor of Jochiwon Station on the Gyeongbu Line was newly renovated and opened in August 2026. The name is inspired by the first consonant of Hangeul, giyeok (ㄱ), carrying the meaning of opening the beginning of Jochiwon's regeneration, as well as 'going to Jochiwon' and 'remembering Jochiwon.' On one wall, a souvenir stand themed on Hangeul and a map of Jochiwon restaurants are set up, making it a good starting point for traveling in the old downtown. It offers beverages and snacks using local specialties such as rice and peaches from Sejong, and it is a good way to start a trip to Sejong by tasting Hangeul bread letters, which are made by combining bread in the shapes of consonants to form letters.
