[2024 Pohang Attraction] Travel Guide for Guryongpo Japanese House Street (Updated Dec)

Guryongpo | Day Trip Recommendation.

|Day Trip Recommendation. Guryongpo in Pohang is 40 minutes away from downtown Pohang by bus 🚌9000, which is very convenient. 🐟 Near Guryongpo Port, there is a traditional market called "Guryongpo Market" where you can find seafood, vegetables, and groceries. It's not very big. Along the street near the port, there are many seafood restaurants, mainly selling red crabs 🦀 and water bear fish (a kind of blenny fish, I don't know the exact species). Near the "Guryongpo Japanese House Street," there are several popular restaurants with big crab signs. Many people have been there, and there are no queues on weekdays. 🦀🍜 The signature crab noodles are good, with generous portions. One bowl is enough for one person. 🏡 The "Guryongpo Japanese House Street" was a residential area for Japanese families during the Japanese colonial period. After the war, it was demolished. Now, to commemorate history, this area has been restored, with a small museum and some shops inside. 🌺 The stairs here are also a filming location for the Korean drama "When the Camellia Blooms." The view of the sea is beautiful, but the tall buildings opposite were not there during the filming of the drama, and now they seem a bit abrupt.
