 Gunsan is located in the south of the estuary of the Geumgang River facing the West Sea. Japanese colonial era Japan seized a huge amount of rice produced in Gunsan through Gunsan Port to cover the rice that was scarce at that time. At that time, several Japanese factories were built in Gunsan, and it was used as a farm management site for the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese colonial era and historical site still remain in Gunsan. Let's learn about the museum in Gunsan City to record the painful history of Gunsan.
