Guryongpo Japanese House Street
Guryongpo Japanese House Street is a historic site established in 1883 after the Korea-Japan Trade Treaty. While it reflects a painful history of Japanese occupation and exploitation of local fishing rights, Pohang City preserved its 47 wooden buildings in 2010 to serve as an educational space. Highlights include the Furusato-ya teahouse, the Guryongpo Modern History Museum, and various period-style landmarks. Famous as a filming location for the K-drama 'When the Camellia Blooms,' the area offers a scenic view of the fishing village from the park stairs.
