Hansan Ramie Fabric Cultural Festival
한산모시문화제 · Seocheon, South Chungcheong
– Past
This edition has finished.
Korean festivals usually keep to roughly the same window each year, so the next
one should land near those dates — but the organizer publishes the confirmed
dates and they move, sometimes by weeks.

Hansan mosi — UNESCO-listed ramie weaving — in the town that produces it.
Who it suits: Textile people. Hansan ramie weaving is UNESCO-listed, and this is where the cloth is actually made rather than sold.
When, where, how much
From the organizer
Organized by Seocheon-gun. These pages are the organizer's own and open on their site. They are usually Korean only — but that is where the confirmed programme, stage times and site map appear first, and times and prices read the same in any language.
Program: Jeosanpal-eup Gilssamnori, Mosi Fashion Show, Opening & Closing Ceremonies, Wind Music Concert

Where it is
Where it is in the country — 166 km south of Seoul
About 108 km across — 10 other places we cover sit inside it. The pick of them is listed below.
166 km south of Seoul, in Seocheon, South Chungcheong (straight-line distance from Seoul City Hall, calculated from the venue's official coordinates).
We have not timed these connections ourselves, so rather than print a number we have not checked, here is the route on the two apps Koreans actually use — Hansan Mosi Hall as the destination, already filled in:
- Directions on Kakao Map — live bus and train times, and which platform
- Naver Map — the stronger of the two in English
From Seoul, journeys to Seocheon start at Seoul Station (KTX and regular rail) or the Express Bus Terminal. Which of the two wins depends on how many cities you are stringing together — our rail pass guide works through the break-even, and getting around Korea covers why these two apps beat Google Maps once you are on the ground.
Nearby, if you are making a trip of it
Within about 20 km of the venue, by distance:
- Iksan Prison Set (11.8 km)
- Gunsan Port (12.4 km)
- Huirisan Pine Tree Recreational Forest (12.5 km)
- Gunsan Modern History Street (12.6 km)
- LOTTE Shopping Mall – Gunsan Branch (12.6 km)
- Iksan Safety Experience Training Center (KOSHA) (15.0 km)
Places and distances from the Korea Tourism Organization's location data. We have not visited all of them.
Getting there and staying
For a bed near the festival, Klook's accommodation search for Seocheon is the quickest way to see what is left — festival weeks fill local rooms earlier than you would expect.
Outside the big cities, wifi is not something to plan around. Shuttle stops, stage times and the day's program are posted on the organizer's Korean-language page or a Naver Map pin, and they change on the day. A Korean eSIM is the cheapest way to have it working before you land.
