Nice traditional Japanese house, rare for Korea, worth a trip combined with the other sights in Gunsan. Couldn't go inside when I visited, minimal information available in Korean or English (esp. about who owned). Also garden could have been better cared for, but maybe that's just the Korean winter

Tiny convenience store that is more of a historical site rather than a modern store. It looks like this place has been here for over 50 years and most likely a family business that has been handed down generations. It’s a great photo taking opportunity to capture the vibe of the area

This is a well-preserved Japanese-style house. It seems ironic that a Japanese-style building is a cultural asset of our country, but even painful history is ultimately our history, so we must accept it. The interior is currently closed to the public.

There were quite a few people, but it wasn't crowded. The flowers were in bloom and it was really beautiful, and I want to visit again in the spring. The house was also well-preserved, which was nice to see.
