In this paper, we looked at the common points between Cheonghakdong and Kakurezato among the utopias imagined in the mountains drawn in Korean and Japanese folktales, and compared the various factors of common aspects. As a result, the utopia of both countries appeared as a space of hermits in the mountains far from the secular world, an enchanted land of Taoist hermit‘s residence, and a paradise of an ideal society. The appearance as a place of avoiding the world is depicted as an ideal hiding place combined with a magnificent mountain landscape and a cache made by people who avoided the corrupt world or wars. The enchanted land of Taoist hermit‘s residence is also depicted as a sanctuary where Taoist hermits are strolling about in the backdrop of the mysteriousness and the landscape of the unexplored regions in the mountains. And the Paradise as an ideal society is emerging as a small, rural, virtual society built with better social conditions based on the life of reality, with some images of the space of avoiding the world and the sanctuary. It is a kinship community, mostly self-sufficient centered on agriculture, and oriented for peace and equality without taxation and sickness. In this way, almost identical forms of mountain Utopias were produced and recorded in the folktales of both countries. The direct factor of these common aspects was the cultural environment in which the Utopia literature and Taoist hermit ideology of China and the social turmoil of the two countries influenced. Moreover, as the contradictions of the modern age gradually grew in the late Joseon Dynasty and the Edo Period, the desire for a better society is considered to result the Utopia of the ideal society.
