Most beautiful garden we saw in South Korea and Japan🌳 - We travelled throughout South Korea and Japan for one month and the Spirited Garden was the most beautiful garden we had seen. It is a medium sized garden, not large, but we allowed ourselves to slowly wander and it's beautiful focus on healing and refuge as you walk through it is felt. It's meticulously maintained, has many Jeju Island volcanic rock structures, bridges, archways, gates, world's largest dolharbang, 2 large waterfalls and large koy ponds, bronze swings, so it's also a nice place for children. The garden includes signs with a short description of the technique for growing bonsai trees and his philosophical view to everyday life. A UNESCO world heritage site. The café is a tall round 2 level Jeju volcanic rock building filled with a lot of beautifully crafted wood furniture to allow you to enjoy tea or a single hand ground dripped coffee from the world's top three locations, as well as pottery, jewellery, high quality hats made in Korea and books from the builder and farmer of this garden, Seong Beom-yeong, who was a humble older man who greeted us with the warmest smile and a warm visit. The whole experience for me was touching, and such a lovely memory that I have taken home to Canada with me. I bought my Mom his interesting book for Christmas (he wrote a note in it for her) that has been translated to English about his life story, his story of building this garden and curating bonsai trees while philosophically relating it to life. I look forward to reading the book also. This was our favourite stop on Jeju Island.🌳

Calm experience away from the hustle and bustle of city living - Very pretty curated garden. Snowing in winter day after Christmas adds to the charm. Met the founder who still remains healthy and attentive to tourists.

experience in spirited garden - the place was absolutely sensational. so much knowledge was present there to lead other’s who may have a hard time finding their foot, understanding what the true meaning of life.Every signboard, there is a hidden message in the bottom that translates the growth of plants to the growth and development of not only you yourself but your family included.I found this very meaningful. and the wide variety of languages provided makes it so easy to understand. rlly recommend coming here!

Meditate and reflect - Great meditative environment. Awesome work with bonsai trees. Worth the stop if you are in Jeju island in Korea. Plan enough time to wander through the whole park.

Small and well done but high entry fee - A calm and peaceful garden focussed on trees and bonsai. Nice landscaping with waterfalls and pools with lots of koi carp but not the place to visit if you're seeking planting and flowers. The bonsai in particular are impressive, especially the fruit trees. However, it's pretty small and the 15,000W entry fee high. We weren't in there much more than 30 mins.
