Jogyesa Temple

Hidden in the heart of bustling downtown Seoul, Jogyesa Temple offers a rare glimpse into Korea’s living Buddhist tradition. Founded in 1935, this tranquil sanctuary contrasts strikingly with the city around it. Step through the symbolic Iljumun Gate into a world of peace, where centuries-old pine and locust trees shade the magnificent Daeungjeon Hall. Inside, golden Buddha statues shine softly in the light, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and experience a moment of serenity.
