Village Introduction
Located in the fertile plains of Naju, Eco-Wanggok Village is a serene rural sanctuary where visitors can pause the rush of modern life and tune in to nature’s gentle rhythm. Framed by expansive rice paddies and sweet-smelling fruit orchards, the village embraces travelers seeking authentic slow travel, deep rest, and sensory restoration.
During autumn, the surrounding landscape turns entirely golden as rice heads ripen and the sweet fragrance of famous Naju pears fills the crisp mountain-valley air. True to the spirit of "Choncance" (peaceful countryside vacation), the village offers an intimate setting to experience the restorative gifts of the earth—breathing in clean country breezes, tasting sun-ripened local fruit, feeling the grain of honest timber, and experiencing the warm hospitality of the southern Jeolla countryside.
