Day 9: Visiting to Bukcheon Hanok Village, Seoul/9日目:ソウルの北村韓屋村訪問記

After having a cafe break at Samcheong-dong, I went up the long stone stairs to go the Bukcheon Hanok Village, one of the most popular tourist spots in Seoul. This area is composed by the following districts, Wonso-dong,  Je-dong, Gahoe-dong and Insa-dong and is commonly called Bukcheon which means the upper town of both places, Cheonggyecheon and Jongno. Because it is located on the road between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces, this place used to be the residence of royal family and the upper classes, described as Yangbang (양방) in Korean. In the narrow alley, traditional Korean style houses closely lined up by age, from the old ones which were built in the late Chosun Dynasty to the bread new ones which were built recently.
三清洞のカフェでリラックスしたあと階段を昇って観光客に人気が高い北村韓屋村へ。苑西洞(ウォンソドン)、斎洞(チェドン)、嘉会洞(カフェドン)、仁寺洞(インサドン)で構成されたこの地域は清渓川と鐘路の上町内という意味で「北村」と呼ばれ、景福宮と昌徳宮の間の道に位置するため、権力を持つ家門や王族など両班(ヤンバン)といわれる上流階級の居住地でした。狭い路地には朝鮮時代末に建てられた伝統韓屋から最近立てられた真新しい韓屋まで、時代別の韓屋までぎっしりと建ち並びます。

Because I ate too much, suddenly I got a stomachache. I was so painful, therefore I should go toilet. But it was not easy to find. Finally I found the place where is in the cafe on the top of the villa.
ついつい食べ過ぎたせいか急にお腹が痛くなってしまい便所を探していたのですがなかなか見つからず、ようやく見つけたのはビラ屋上のカフェ。

From a balcony, you can see great views of the Hanok Village and the downtown Seoul.
そこのバルコニーから韓屋とソウル中心部が見渡せます。
Skylines of Seoul from a balcony: Prime Minister's official residence of the Blue House and skyscrapers on the right side, and the Hyundai Group headquarters building will be seen to the left side, and the Doosan Group head office building in the Gangnam District of Nonhyon-dong.
バルコニーからのソウル市街の眺めはこんな感じです。右手には青瓦台とビル群が、向かって左側には現代ビルや遠くには江南地区の論峴洞(ノンヒョンドン)にある斗山ビルが見えます。

Rows of Hanok houses on the both side of the long slopes in Gahoe-dong. The shooting date on April 26 was before the Mars epidemic spread in Korea, it was quite busy day so that there was coming a lot of Chinese tourists from China, Taiwan etc.
嘉会洞の長い坂道の両脇には伝統的家屋群がずらりと建ち並びます。撮影日(4月26日)はMARS(マーズ)が流行する前で中国や台湾など中華系の団体たちがたくさん来ていてとても賑やかでした。

The Jung-ang High School, a location of drama "Winter Sonata" which is the most popular Korean drama in Japan with the average audience rating of 20%. In front of the high school, there are two shops across the road to deal with the products of Korean wave, such as K-pop, Korean drama stars.   
ドラマ「冬のソナタ」の撮影地である中央高校前にはK-popや韓流スターたちの商品を売っているお店が道路を隔てて2軒あります。
Posters of my big fan SNSD/Girls' generation is here!
僕の大好きな少女時代のポスターもありました!

I saw multi colored Korean style paper lanterns in front of the Hanok house while walking down to the Gyedong-gil Street.
桂洞(ゲェドン)を歩きながら下っている途中で韓屋の前に韓国式の色鮮やかな提灯が飾られているのを見ました。
After that I took a bus from the Hyundai Building to the Seoul Station. While searching on Google Maps, it seems to have a bus service to Namsan Seoul Tower from Seoul Square which is directly opposite the station. But I don't know where the bus stop is. I was thinking to take a taxi to there, so I had decided to go by taxi. I ask him to go to the tower, and he said "You should take a cable car from the cable car station". I'm heading to the cable car station then. It took me about 15 minutes to there.
I bought a ticket and went up the stairs to the platform. Because of Sunday, there ware packed with many tourists therefore I have to wait for a while. Finally I arrived at the tower at 7:15 pm.
その後大通りに面した現代ビル前からバスでソウル駅へ。Googleマップで検索すると向かい側のソウルスクエア前から南山ソウルタワー行きのバスが出ているようですがバス停が分からず、タクシーで行ったほうが早いだろうと思いタクシーに乗ることに。運転士さんが言うには「南山ケーブルカー駅まで行ってそこからケーブルカーに乗るほうが早い」とのことだったのでケーブルカーの駅へ。15分ほどで到着。チケットを買って階段を上がって乗り場へ。日曜日だったせいか乗り場がかなり混み合っていて、しばらく待った末に着いたのは日没前の午後7時15分ごろでした。

To be continued..
