A Special Healing Space in the Heart of Busan
Garden spaces where one can enjoy nature amidst the daily life of Busan are gradually increasing.
Busan City has officially designated 'Ocho Ryang Garden' in Dong-gu, Choryang-dong, and 'Everyone's Garden' in Geumjeong-gu, Bogeok-dong as private gardens No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
After F1963 Garden, a complex cultural space, was registered as the first private garden in December 2024, the trend of spreading garden culture is becoming more active.
The 'Ocho Ryang Garden' Embracing 100 Years of History
Located in Choryang-dong, Dong-gu, Busan, the Ocho Ryang Garden is a complex cultural space newly remodeled from a 100-year-old Japanese wooden house. The name of this place has been specially interpreted by adding the exclamation "O!" to the word 'Choryang.' With a tranquil atmosphere and emotional landscaping harmoniously combined, it is an attractive place that offers healing to visitors all year round.
The garden covers an area of 907.14㎡, featuring various themed gardens and facilities. Operated by the Ilmyeok Cultural Foundation, diverse cultural content such as exhibitions, concerts, and humanities lectures are actively conducted. Thanks to its proximity to Busan Station, it has established itself as an ideal space for those looking for a brief respite in the city.
In particular, the charming vintage appeal of the 1925-built Japanese-style house and the naturally arranged trees harmonize to evoke a sense of time travel to the past. This special space, where history and modern sensibility harmoniously coexist, is attracting attention as a new cultural healing destination in Busan.
The Hot Spring 'Everyone's Garden' Where Coffee Meets the Garden
'Everyone's Garden' at the main branch of Momos Coffee located in Bogeok-dong has recently been registered as the third private garden. This garden boasts an area of 681.35㎡ and has the unique charm of a space designed with the garden concept in mind before the architecture.
The name 'Everyone's Garden' embodies the philosophy of coexistence, indicating "a space where everyone can relax comfortably." It is divided into two themed zones: a bamboo garden and a main garden, and features a café where visitors can enjoy coffee and a resting area, designed as an open space accessible to both local residents and tourists.
Momos Coffee started in 2007 as a modest takeout café and has now established itself as a leading specialty coffee brand in Busan. This garden reflects the brand's symbolism and affection towards the local community, offering a space that changes its appearance with the seasons and provides small moments of relaxation with a cup of coffee.
