Ami-dong, nestled in Busan's vibrant landscape, reveals its unique story through the use of Japanese tombstones embedded within its homes and pathways. This architectural quirk dates back to the Korean War when displaced refugees used readily available materials from a nearby Japanese cemetery for construction. As you explore Ami-dong’s colorful streets in August, keep an umbrella handy as light showers are common with temperatures around 29°C.
