A resting space returned to the arms of the citizens

As its name suggests, Inwangsan is very kind. It is located in the center of Seoul and allows you to enjoy wonderful mountains and scenery compared to the difficulty level. The Inwang 3-minute-cho Shelter, located in the middle of Inwangsan Mountain, raises the charm of this mountain to another level.

If you walk a little further in the direction of Cheongwoon Park from the already established Choso Bookstore, you will find this place at the exact point where you start to get out of breath when you climb the stairs you see.

The exterior made of iron and glass minimizes the influence of this place on the surrounding landscape, and the interior made of wood conveys the feeling of being in the natural scenery unfolding before your eyes. Although there is some dissatisfaction with the sophistication of the interior composition, it is clear that it is a place where you can feel the outstanding snow scenery that is not envy of Northern Europe.

This beautiful mountain range of Inwangsan was a lost scenic asset that was restricted from access by citizens for a long time due to the 1.21 Incident in 1968. Like the bookstore, this place was also a military post to guard the Blue House area. This space, which has passed through this history, has been reborn with the sense of today after imitating the shape of the existing guardhouse. It is truly a meaningful space to express.
