Out from the theme area and walking toward the Gaeksa-gil.  Gaeksa means a visitor in Korean.  Gil means street.  It is called Gaeksa-gil because it is the street next to an ancient building that housed visitors from China in the 1500s.

While walking toward Gaeksa-gil, I passed through this street.  These streets are where the local people who live around the Hanok Village come for the shopping and eat.
