Haho Village is especially popular because it preserves a rare blend of living history, authentic culture, and pristine nature something that is no longer found in most modern places in South Korea. The houses of Haho are truly centuries old—without any modern renovations. The village layout is still based on the Joseon Dynasty-era caste system: large noble houses in the center, and ordinary people’s homes around the perimeter. This means that when you enter the village, it feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Haho is the birthplace of one of Korea’s most famous masked performances, a performance that is both religious and humorous, and is held to celebrate and cleanse the village’s spirit. The wooden masks themselves are works of art.
