구룡포 근대문화역사관
Gyeongbuk
The Guryongpo Modern History Museum, situated on Guryongpo Japanese House Street, is housed in a two-story wooden building constructed in the Japanese style. Built by Jenkichi Hashimoto in the 1920s, this historic structure was acquired by Pohang-si in 2010 and subsequently transformed into a history museum following extensive restoration. The museum features two exhibition floors, showcasing traditional Japanese furniture and accessories such as butsudan and kotatsu. Additionally, a traditional kitchen and toilet have been meticulously recreated. Visitors can gain a vivid understanding of the lifestyle during that era and explore the distinctive structural elements of Japanese-style buildings.
