Jogyesa Temple
조계사
The head temple of the Jogye Order, in the middle of Jongno rather than on a mountain. It is a working temple with daily services rather than a sightseeing site, so its opening depends on what is being held that day — which is why no hours and no admission are published. It and Bongeunsa in Gangnam are the two Jogye Order temples the corpus carries in Seoul.
