a ZenKimchi Experience

This is the side of Seoul that you won’t find in the tourism brochures. Take a walking tour down the dark alleys of the forgotten 600-year history of bloody massacres, seedy hideaways, and mourning ghosts.

Clairvoyants on the tour have reported that we also have a few vaporous guests who join us. Keep an eye out for them. Guests will receive a measure of protection from certain Japanese ghosts.
