Historic buildings

In 2005, the Gwangjin house was designated as a nationally registered cultural property No. 183. The area around Seungsung-dong was an area where the upper classes lived during the Japanese occupation. And it was once run as a cloth shop. It was originally a Gwangjin house built by a wealthy businessman in Gwangjin. Later, it was owned by the president of (former) Hunan Milling Company Li Yonggu (transliteration). Today, it is an asset belonging to Korean Milling Mills. Many Korean movies and TV dramas such as "The General's Son", "Fist of the Wind", and "Old Thousand" were filmed here. The Hirotsu family house is a high-end residential form of modern Japanese samurai. It is a one- or two-story wooden building. The roof, exterior wall, interior, and Japanese garden are all maintained in the original appearance at the time of establishment, which is of great value in the history of architecture.

Shinheung-dong Japanese-style house

#CanadaFlightEvent Shinheung-dong Japanese-style House The Shinheung-dong Japanese-style House in Gunsan is a two-story wooden Japanese-style house built by a Japanese person who ran a logging shop and small farm in Gunsan during the Japanese colonial period and served as a member of the Gunsan Council! Maybe because it was a Japanese-style house, it felt different from Korea! It felt like I was on vacation in Japan.

A place where I somehow miss cards

#Domestic travel 🎪 Shinheung-dong Japanese-style house 🎫 Shinheung-dong, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do ⌛Every day 10:00~17:0 (Closed every Monday) 📃 This place closes earlier than you think, so if you plan to visit, you should go quickly. It is difficult to see the inside, but the outside is a very precious place, so I recommend visiting. In particular, the reason this place is famous is because it is the filming location of the very famous movie Tazza. If you watched the movie, you will say "Ah~! This is it~!" as soon as you enter the Shinheung-dong Japanese-style house. I recommend this place that reminds you of the memories of the movie from your childhood.

The beautiful house in the movie, Gunsan Hiros House

The Hiros House in Gunsan, which I visited in 2023, is a place that I will remember for a long time. If I have time in 2024, I definitely want to visit and heal. The reason I recommend this place for this wish event is because this house was used as a scene in the famous movie Tazza. It is a beautiful house that I hope everyone will see, even if they just want to play paper games. #2024WishEvent

Gunsan travel destinations that are great for a round trip

There are many things to see and enjoy in Gunsan! Among them, I would like to introduce Gunsan Japanese-style house, a great travel destination for a leisurely stroll! The Japanese-style house is a space managed as a cultural asset. It is said that a person named Hirotsu actually lived there. It is a place that is even more interesting because it is a two-story house where someone actually lived, so I recommend you stop by if you visit Gunsan. #Domestic travel #Gunsan travel
