This Japanese-style bar and restaurant is run by a chef who studied abroad in Japan and serves delicious snacks that go well with alcoholic drinks. Spicy stir-fried soba, Japanese-style fried noodles with beef loin and vegetables, and grilled chicken, skewered chicken thighs grilled over a charcoal fire, are amazing. Be sure to check out today's menu, which changes every day. Some people try to order ramen because the restaurant was featured as a ramen restaurant in a K-drama, but ramen is not actually available. Besides highballs and sake, diners can also order a sour, which allows you to enjoy the freshness of lemon, citrus, and passion fruit. There is a cozy atmosphere created by unique props like cute dolls and mirror balls, making it a great place for a conversation.

Monument Coffee is a casual hangout café for locals located across from Cheonho-dong. This cafe is on one side of the first floor of the building, and although it is small, with only three or four tables, many regulars visit this place often due to the taste of coffee, baked snacks, and desserts. The signature menu here is the real vanilla bean latte. The unique, savory flavor comes to life thanks to the generous use of vanilla beans. This signature menu is limited and only offered while ingredients last on a daily basis, so visitors are advised to visit early. Baked snacks and desserts that go well with coffee are also available, including financiers, madeleines, churros, and apple pies.

Hongneung and Yureung Royal Tombs is Historic Site No. 207. Hongneung Tomb is the resting place of Emperor Gojong and his wife Empress Myeongseong, while Yureung Tomb is the resting place of Emperor Sunjong, his first wife Empress Sunmyeonghyo, and his second wife, Empress Sunjeonghyo. Hongneung and Yureung look different from other royal tombs. When the name of the country changed from the Joseon dynasty to the Daehan Empire, the rulers of Korea were called emperors. Therefore, the tombs of the two emperors were modeled after the tomb of the Ming dynasty’s ruler, King Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang). Surrounding Hongneung and Yureung are statues carved in the shape of animals such as giraffes, elephants, and lions, which can’t be seen at the other royal tombs of the Joseon dynasty. The stonework of Hongneung tomb was made in a traditional way, while the stonework of Yureung tomb shows a more realistic and advanced technique.
