Why it matters now

The center’s English visitor information was re-checked in October 2026. March–October hours are 10:00–18:00 and November–February 10:00–17:00; some experiences may require separate reservation or have limited availability.

Why go

It gives travelers cultural context for Korean medicine in the neighborhood where a major herb-medicine market operates, without requiring them to treat a cultural visit as medical advice.
