Gahoe-dong is a dong , neighbourhood of Jongno-gu in Seoul, South Korea. ^{[1] [2]}

The area used to be an exclusive area for nobles, scholars, and homes of government officials hence it was well-maintained. Many of the hanok, Korean traditional houses, have been remodeled into cafe, restaurant and teahouses. ^[3]
