Not sure which theme is right for you?
What do the experts say?
try a stay at a traditional hanok accommodation (similar to a ryokan) with hanok dinner, which involves enjoying Korean cuisine, aka jeongsik (course meals) with banchan (side dishes). It's a rustic traditional experience, and one all globetrotters will love
Umbrellas are common; you can pick them up everywhere as well, but you'll find on sunny days as well as rainy ones that locals are using umbrellas and without one, you'll get a poke in the head now and again as you're walking on busy sidewalks.
Avoid July/August (rainiest months, tons of flooding even in the cities, and temple walks become hard), and Chuseok in September (their version of Thanksgiving - a 6 day holiday where everything is closed)
Visit during Spring to see the Cherry Blossoms! A great alternative to Japan's Cherry Blossoms.
