Located right in the heart of Seoul's Jongno district, Jogyesa is the head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, offering a peaceful retreat amid the bustling city. Its courtyard, shaded by an ancient towering tree and framed by cherry blossoms in spring, draws both worshippers and curious travelers throughout the year. It's a wonderful spot to experience traditional Korean temple architecture set against a modern urban backdrop.
