3Woo Young Woo Kimbap exterior (Kazaguruma — now closed, Suwon)
Closed down
The exterior of her father's kimbap shop, seen throughout the series. In real life it was Kazaguruma, a small Japanese rice-bowl restaurant in Suwon's Haenggung-dong old town — locally famous before the drama, not a kimbap shop at all.
💡 ⚠️ Kazaguruma has closed. As of August 2026 the same ground-floor unit is Haenggung Haru, a ceramic- and crayon-painting studio (classes from ₩15,000). The building and the lane are unchanged, so the exterior shot still works — but the signage is different and you can't eat there. You're inside UNESCO-listed Hwaseong Fortress territory, so walk the wall while you're here.
💡 Still open, and this one needs a name check: the bar is registered as 소소주점 (Soso Jujeom), not 소소바, so searching the drama's name on a Korean map app returns nothing and looks like a closure. It is on the ground floor and opens at 17:00 — there is a noraebang in the same building, which is what turns up if you search the address alone. Order something if you are photographing the place.
What’s real and what’s a set
Hanbada’s offices and the kimbap shop interior were studio sets — the exteriors above are the visitable pieces. The whale animations, sadly, remain unavailable at any address.
Updated August 2026: we re-checked every location here against Korean sources, and one thing changed. Kazaguruma — the restaurant behind the kimbap shop exterior — has closed. The unit at that address is now Haenggung Haru, a ceramic-painting studio. The building and the lane are unchanged, so the shot is still there; the restaurant is not. Most English-language guides still list it as open.
The Changwon pilgrimage
The hackberry tree is this drama’s true destination: a two-hour KTX plus a country bus, rewarded with the exact hilltop frame from the finale of episode 8. It’s the rare filming location that the drama itself made into protected national heritage — the visit doubles as a look at how K-content reshapes rural Korea.
Frequently asked questions
Where was Extraordinary Attorney Woo filmed?
Key real locations include the 500-year-old hackberry tree at Dongbu Village near Changwon (the episode 7–8 'Sodeok-dong' tree), the Centerfield Building on Teheran-ro in Gangnam used as law firm Hanbada, the Woo Young Woo Kimbap exterior in Suwon's Haenggung-dong, the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway in Seoul, and Soso Bar in Ilsan, Goyang.
Where is the hackberry tree in Extraordinary Attorney Woo?
The 500-year-old paengnamu from episodes 7–8 stands at Dongbu Village, at 102-1 Bukbu-ri, Daesan-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. After the show aired it was designated a national Natural Monument. It's a tiny village of about 70 residents, so visit quietly and don't block the farm roads.
How do you get to the hackberry tree from Seoul?
Take the KTX to Changwon Jungang Station, then a taxi or local bus toward Daesan-myeon (about 30–40 minutes); the village signs point the way. It's a committed two-hour KTX plus a country bus, rewarded with the exact hilltop frame from the episode 8 finale.
Can you visit the Woo Young Woo kimbap shop?
You can still visit the exterior, but the restaurant itself is gone. The building at 61 Sinpung-ro 23beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon was Kazaguruma, a Japanese rice-bowl restaurant — and it has closed. As of August 2026 the same unit houses Haenggung Haru, a ceramic-painting studio. The lane and the facade are unchanged so the photo still works, but the sign is different and there's nothing to eat. The kimbap shop interior was always a studio set anyway.
Where is the revolving door from Extraordinary Attorney Woo?
The revolving door Young-woo conquers with Jun-ho's 'waltz' timing is at the Centerfield Building, 231 Teheran-ro, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, used as the Hanbada exterior. Take Line 2 to Yeoksam Station; it's a working office building, so photograph the lobby and doors discreetly.
