Gaehangjang (Open Port Area) Street

개항장 거리 · Incheon · Beaches & islands

As the Incheon Port was opened in 1883, this is where one could feel the rich history and culture accumulated over 126 years. Formerly used by the Japanese consulate, the Jemulpo-gu Office, the Incheon branch of Japan's 1st, 18th and 58th Bank and other modern historical architecture can be found intact here. Other historical remains like Former Japan Mail and Shipping Inc., Incheon Art Platform, Jemulpo Gurakbu, and more are also available for visitors to see at the Incheon Gaehangjang (Open Port Area). For those who are interested in learning more, a guided tour by an Incheon cultural tourism expert is available upon reservation.
