Gunsan Accommodations

First up, the Gunsan accommodation where we spent our night was Daho Guesthouse!

Even though it was a spontaneous trip,

I really wanted to stay somewhere that captured the unique vibe of Gunsan,

a city still rich with traces of the Japanese colonial era.

Even though it's a guesthouse, each room has its own private bathroom,

and the interior is incredibly unique because it's a remodeled old Japanese-style house.

Starting from ~$48 for a double room, it offers excellent value for money,

and it's just a 1-minute walk to Iseongdang (bakery)!

I've detailed my full, honest review in the post below👇

✅ Tip

finding accommodation in the Old Town area near Daho

Gunsan Must-Visit Spots & Restaurants

Day 1

① Jirinseong

🕒 Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Sat-Sun 09:30 - 16:00

* Closed on Tuesdays

Even the most spectacular sights are better on a full stomach!

Once you arrive in Gunsan, let's start with some delicious Jjamppong!

Jilinseong, where I went, is actually one of Gunsan's top 3 Jjamppong spots, but

personally, the Gochu Jjajang (Spicy Black Bean Noodles) was truly amazing.

② Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village

🕒 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village is a charming spot where street stalls line up along an old railroad track.

Instead of being a modern street decorated like an exhibition hall,

it felt like a vibrant, living street, which made it so interesting!

It's a little bit away from the city center, so it's convenient to visit it first.

Along the long railroad track, from the nostalgic Dalgona (honeycomb candy) experience

to retro snacks and balloon popping games,

there were so many fun little things to do that many people came with their children : )

③ Chorwon Photo Studio

🕒 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Closed on Mondays

Chorwon Photo Studio is Gunsan's iconic photo spot!

While there isn't much to see inside, after snapping a picture here,

you'll find other must-visit spots in Gunsan appearing one by one as you stroll along.

④ Dalbit Jeomppang (Moonlight Shop)

🕒 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Open until 6:00 PM on weekends

Closed on Tuesdays

I stopped by this place because the word 'Jeomppang' (shop) sounded cute,

and it's a specialty shop filled with adorable items, just like its name!

Their magnets are especially pretty, so if you're a magnet enthusiast, you should definitely check it out.

There's also a stationery store nearby called Seonmyeong Mungu,

which has a lot of toys reminiscent of school days, making it fun to browse : )

⑤ Gunsan Shinheung-dong Japanese House

🕒 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Open until 7:00 PM until 9/27

Closed on Mondays

The former home of a wealthy Japanese landlord who lived in Gunsan long ago.

I visited, curious to see how lavishly they lived, having accumulated wealth from our ancestors' struggles.

With a meticulously maintained Japanese-style garden, a well, and even a swimming pool,

they truly lived in luxury...

Despite the initial anger, it became a place where I could feel a sense of gratitude that those difficult times are now a part of history.

⑥ Mallang-i Village

🕒 Check individual spaces for their specific operating hours

Mallang-i means 'slope' or 'hillside'.

While there are hillside villages in Tongyeong and Busan too,

Gunsan's Mallang-i Village has a uniquely charming and tranquil vibe.

From makgeolli (rice wine) making experiences to exhibition halls reminiscent of 80s streets,

and panoramic views of Gunsan from the elevated village,

I recommend visiting in the late afternoon to catch the sunset as well : )

⑦ Yeonghwadong Seafood Pocha

🕒 Mon-Thu 4:00 PM - 2:00 AM

Fri-Sun 12:00 PM - 2:00 AM

Yeonghwadong Seafood Pocha (Branch 1) is just a 10-minute walk from Mallang-i Village,

making it the perfect spot to stroll over for dinner after watching the sunset.

I especially enjoyed the steamed seafood and clam dish (haemul jogaejjim), which was absolutely delicious, with its rich broth packed with vegetables and generous portions of fresh seafood.
