Start at Gangwon Provincial Office, established in Wonju in 1395, then walk toward the old commercial district. The route links government space with Wonju’s wider hanji history, Jayu Market and the second-floor Miro Arts Market. It is a reading route, not a promise that every workshop or shop will be open; current hours must be checked separately.
How to read the site
Dates and figures in this article are reference points for comparing periods, not decorations meant to exaggerate the place. At the site, distinguish old fabric, reconstructed elements and spaces that still serve everyday life. That separation makes Wonju’s changes easier to read without turning the whole city into a single neat story.
Before you visit
Do not assume that one stop represents all of Wonju. Use can differ on weekdays, weekends, market days and closure days, while exhibitions, activities and individual businesses may change. Check the operator’s latest notice before leaving, then compare the historical account with what is actually accessible.
