Bukgajwa-dong () is a dong (neighborhood) of Seodaemun District, Seoul, South Korea. Seoul Metropolitan City Tangible Cultural Heritage Number 41, Hwasangunsindobi (Prince Hwasangun's tomb monument), is located here.
Overview The name Bukgajwa-dong comes from the name Gajwa. The area was originally surrounded by mountains and had many crayfish, so it was called Gajaeul (meaning "crayfish village"). Later, when the area was divided into Bukgajwa-dong (North Gajwa-dong) and Namgajwa-dong (South Gajwa-dong), the name Bukgajwa-dong was given to indicate that it was located to the north of Gajaeul.
