Namsangol Bojagi Knot Bag Guide: Dates, Price, Booking, and What to Expect

The Namsangol Bojagi knot bag experience is a hands-on Bojagi Craft activity offered through the 2026 Namsangol Traditional Experience [Time of the Artist] program at Namsangol Hanok Village in Jung-gu, Seoul. The most specific option for visitors looking for a knot-bag activity is the “Bojagi knot bag and keyring set,” which is listed alongside the “Bojagi knot wrapping and bag set,” with each experience priced at 18,000 won.¹

The program period is April 3 to October 25, 2026, so it is already underway on May 8, 2026 and continues into late October.² For visitors, the important point is that this is not only a display of traditional wrapping cloth. The sources describe it as a practical making session where participants learn how bojagi techniques can become usable items such as a bag, wrapping, or a small accessory.³

Namsangol Bojagi Knot Bag: What the Experience Covers

The bojagi program is centered on everyday use. Seoul Culture Portal lists two paid bojagi options: “Bojagi knot bag and keyring set” and “Bojagi knot wrapping and bag set.”¹ The wording suggests two slightly different visitor choices. The first places the knot bag and keyring at the center of the session, while the second combines knot wrapping with a bag.

The wider 2026 Namsangol Traditional Experience [Time of the Artist] program includes eight types of traditional activities, including gyubang craft and bojagi craft.³ Beauty Travel News also describes the 2026 lineup as a program that reorganizes existing experiences and includes new ones, with individual participation available from Friday through Sunday.⁴ Beyondpost identifies bojagi craft as one of the newly added experiences for the year and describes it as a practical program for learning bojagi bags and wrapping methods.⁵

A Namsangol Hanok Village representative said in Korean that the program has the meaning of expanding traditional houses from places people only look at into spaces where citizens stay, make, and learn.⁵ In practical terms, visitors should understand the bojagi knot bag activity as a structured craft session within a hanok village setting, not simply as an exhibition about traditional textiles.

Dates, Hours, Venue, and Participation Rules

The official Namsangol Hanok Village program page lists the bojagi craft period as April 3 to October 25, 2026. Sessions run every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with six time slots in total; the lunch period from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. is excluded.²

The activity takes about 50 minutes.² That makes it short enough to fit into a broader visit to Namsangol Hanok Village, while still being a dedicated making session rather than a quick demonstration. The official page lists the location as Okindong House within Namsangol Hanok Village, while Seoul Culture Portal gives the broader location as the traditional houses area of Namsangol Hanok Village.¹²

The listed participation age is 6 and older.² This is useful for families because the activity involves knotting and making, not only watching. The available source material does not provide separate adult, child, group, or foreign-visitor prices for the bojagi knot bag experience. The published fee for each named bojagi option is 18,000 won.¹

For booking, Beyondpost reports that individual experiences are available through Naver Reservation and on-site registration.⁵ Because the program operates in fixed sessions, visitors should not assume that every preferred time will be available for walk-in registration. Seoul Culture Portal also lists 02-6358-5538 as the event inquiry phone number.¹

How to Choose and Plan Your Visit

Start by choosing the bojagi option that best matches the item you want to make. Select the “Bojagi knot bag and keyring set” if your priority is the knot bag and a small accessory. Select the “Bojagi knot wrapping and bag set” if you are more interested in the wrapping method as well as the bag. Both are listed at the same price, so the choice is about the activity focus rather than cost.¹

Next, check the calendar against the operating pattern. The experience is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the April 3 to October 25, 2026 program period.² If your schedule is flexible, planning around the listed operating days is essential because the sources do not indicate weekday sessions from Monday to Thursday for individual visitors.

Allow at least 50 minutes for the activity itself, plus additional time to enter the village, find the venue, and handle reservation or reception steps. The source material confirms the activity duration but does not provide arrival-cutoff rules, cancellation terms, class capacity, or language-by-session details. KOTourLive notes that foreign-visitor guidance includes the bojagi knot bag among the experience items and points readers to Seoul Culture Portal and the official Namsangol Hanok Village site for schedule checks.⁶
