Jirisan Ciel Pension

Check-in: 3:00 PM

Check-out: 11:00 AM

Parking available

Pet-friendly

Wi-Fi available

We did our grocery shopping in Gwangju and headed straight to Jirisan Ciel Pension! We checked in on the weekend and stayed in room 102, which cost ₩220,000 for 4 people (standard). It can accommodate up to 5 people.

While the pension is supposedly located in front of a valley, the water right in front is very shallow. It's only deep enough to dip your feet in, so if you want a deeper spot, I recommend driving to another valley.

So, we drove about 5 minutes to a valley where you could cook your own food, which we had booked separately.

First of all, the living room has camping supplies that give it a camping vibe.

The camping chairs are really comfortable...

At night, if you turn off all the lights and leave only the mood lighting on, it looks like this...

Hopeful Tomorrow

Important notices and instructions are written above the gas stove in the kitchen.

It is essential to separate garbage and wash the dishes when you check out.

By the way, the kitchen has a wide variety of tableware, you'll find almost everything you need! Since it is a pet-friendly pension, they even provide bowls and pee pads for dogs.

Each room has a microwave, rice cooker, and basic seasonings such as vinegar, canola oil, salt, and soy sauce!

The refrigerator was large, so it was nice that we could fit a lot of things, but it wasn't very cold, so we had to put things in the freezer later.

It would have been nice if the refrigerator was a little colder.

Outside on the terrace, there is a large, long table with a stone grill and chairs! And there are lights that create a camping atmosphere... The atmosphere was so pretty at night.

Bright Future

When we returned from playing in the water, charcoal was already prepared under the stone grill! Charcoal is available until 11 PM, and after use, you must call the owner to have it removed.

* Bonfire or charcoal grill costs are prepaid *

* Bonfires are available from October *

For reference, because it is summer now, a lot of bugs come in.

So, you have to be careful to close the doors well.

Peaceful Scenery

This is the bedroom, and there is a bathroom in the bedroom and kitchen area, so there are a total of two bathrooms. There are also two beds and a vanity.

The bathrooms have toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, cleansing foam, and body wash.

You must bring your own toothbrush.

Both hot and cold water worked well, and the bathrooms were clean.

So, we enjoyed a barbecue party... To be honest, the weather was so hot that we almost got cooked along with the meat...

It would be nice to come and grill meat when it's a little colder.

Interesting Image

We took pictures with a Polaroid camera that my sister brought with her, and we also took pictures with sparklers! * Surprisingly fun *

It was nice because it was a really nice pension among the Jirisan pensions, but after 11 PM, all the lights were turned off, so it was scary to go outside.

You can't see anything at all... There are no lights on, so it was a little scary every time I went out for a smoke, but it was nice to be able to see so many stars thanks to the lights being turned off!

There were so many stars.

Happy Time

Except that the refrigerator wasn't very cold, I think I liked everything about the pension! The owner is also friendly, and I liked it so much that I would like to book it again later if I come to Jirisan again.

Overall, aside from the refrigerator not being very cold, I really liked everything about the pension! The owner is also friendly, and I liked it so much that I would like to book it again later if I come to Jirisan again.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
