Galjungi (Natural Dyeing Experience)

Galot refers to clothing made using persimmons, which are easily obtained on Jeju Island, and is a traditional Jeju costume that was commonly worn as everyday attire. Galot is known for its excellent UV-blocking and breathability properties, as well as its outstanding antibacterial and deodorizing effects, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Galjungi Natural Dyeing is a place that cultivates persimmons, manufactures and sells galot, and operates a galot-making experience center. It is a place that has preserved galot, a traditional Jeju garment and cultural heritage, for three generations, and all processes are carried out locally on Jeju Island. Located below Mt. Sanbangsan in Sagye-ri, a dol hareubang stands in front of the entrance of Galjungi, and upon entering, you can see persimmon-dyed fabric. The grassy area in the back is the Galjungi Natural Dyeing Experience Yard, where persimmon dyeing experiences take place, and in addition to galot, including accessories produced here, bedding dyed with persimmon juice and mugwort juice is also available for purchase. Operation is by reservation only for groups of 5 or more tourists and groups, so advance reservation is essential before visiting.
