Icheon Termal Wellbeing Resort

Icheon Termal Wellbeing Resort is a natural hot spring facility in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, a city celebrated throughout Korea as the traditional home of Korean ceramic art — where the royal celadon and white porcelain of the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties were produced and where today's ceramic artists continue a 1,000-year tradition in studios and kilns scattered across the forested hills around the city. The bicarbonate-mineralised hot spring waters of Icheon draw on deep geological formations of the Gyeonggi massif, providing authentic Korean oncheon bathing in a city that offers one of Korea's most distinctive combinations of ceramic cultural heritage and natural thermal spring resources. The Icheon Ceramics Village, the Seoul Ceramic Art Festival, and the numerous onggi (traditional pottery) workshops accessible from the city create an outstanding cultural tourism destination that makes Icheon's hot spring bathing part of a rich Korean craft heritage experience. The proximity to Seoul — approximately one hour by bus — and the city's reputation for exceptional rice and sweet rice wine (makgeolli) culture further enrich what is one of Korea's most characterful provincial thermal spring destinations.
