The garden of broadleaf trees behind the main building is the one that shows the change of season most dramatically
The hundreds of broadleaf trees appear their best in autumn
The arboretum is good for nature education walk because of the many nameplates offering information on the species and characteristics of each tree

The building itself is an exhibition because the hall is made of Korean wood
