Seoul
Jingwansa: from Eunpyeong’s hanok streets to a temple
Plan a quieter Seoul outing around Eunpyeong Hanok Village and Jingwansa, with a bus connection after the subway.
진관사(서울) · 서울특별시 은평구 진관길 73 (진관동)
Make this a neighbourhood outing
Jingwansa is in Seoul’s Eunpyeong district. A visit can be paired with Eunpyeong Hanok Village, but the temple is not immediately outside a subway exit. Set aside time for the bus and the final walk.
Notice the history inside the setting
The temple’s history reaches back to the Goryeo period. Independence-movement materials were discovered during work on Chilseonggak in 2009, adding a modern historical layer to the older religious site.
Visit without turning it into a hike
Walk to the temple as a destination in its own right. A route into Bukhansan is a separate outdoor plan requiring its own time and preparation. Respect residents along the hanok streets and worshippers within the temple.

Getting there
From Gupabal Station on Seoul Subway Line 3, the official Eunpyeong visitor guide lists bus 7723 to 하나고·진관사·삼천사 입구.
From Yeonsinnae Station on Lines 3 and 6, the same guide lists buses 701, 709 and 7211 to that entrance stop. Continue on foot towards Jingwansa at 73 Jingwan-gil; the stop is not the temple gate.
