Guryongpo Japanese House Street
A historic streetscape near Guryongpo Harbor in Pohang, where houses and shops survive from the Japanese colonial settlement. Several buildings have been restored, and the Guryongpo Modern History Museum is nearby.
- Address
- 153-1 Guryongpo-gil, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea (street and history-museum reference address)
- Nearby transit
- The visitor area lies by Guryongpo Harbor. The official tourism article uses the museum's visitor address; recheck current buses and stop locations before traveling.
- Hours
- The 2022 KTO guide describes the outdoor street as free with no fixed hours. It listed the indoor museum as open 10:00–17:30, closed Mondays, but this is NOT verified as a current 2026 schedule. Historic thresholds and steps can limit wheelchair access. Tel. +82-54-276-9605.
An official Korea Tourism Organization guide describes open, free access to the outdoor lanes, but it dates to 2022. Do not treat its museum hours or individual business schedules as confirmed for 2026.
Why go
Read the buildings in the context of migration, fisheries and Korea's colonial history, rather than treating them as mere nostalgia. Alleys and steps featured in the drama When the Camellia Blooms are also in the area. The indoor history museum operates separately.
