Myeonggaeun 명가은
Damyang · Soswaewon, Sigyeongjeong & Gasa Literature District · Cafe
Myeonggaeun is a traditional tea house in the Gasa Literature district that offers hot and cold teas and light snacks in a quiet room. It suits couples, solo travelers and parents who want a seated rest after the pavilions. The mood is serene, with a slow pace.
Seating is usually floor or low tables, so ask if you prefer chairs. It is not ideal for very small children. Pots of hot tea arrive with small cups, and you can sip slowly while looking out at the garden.
Some visitors pair a cup with a sweet rice snack from the menu. It is a pleasant pause between two pavilion visits, particularly in the cool months when a hot drink is welcome.
By car about 30 minutes from Damyang town; parking is available at the tea house. (Show a driver: 명가은)
