Guryongpo Japanese House Street: Guryongpo Japanese House Street is where the Japanese who came to Joseon lived after the Joseon-Japan Trade Treaty was signed between Joseon and Japan in 1883. Recently, this place became K drama filming location, “When the Camellia Blooms” and attracts many tourists.
