Incheon Japanese Street

인천일본풍거리 · Incheon · Neighbourhoods & streets

Incheon Japanese Street, established following the opening of Incheon and Jemulpo Ports in 1883, was home to the Japanese concession. It preserves several Japanese-style wooden houses and stone structures from that era. These wooden houses, designed in the distinctive style of Japanese architecture where a storefront is integrated into the residential building, have been renovated and are now serving as cafés and exhibition halls. Nearby, visitors can also explore Incheon Chinatown and the Gaehangjang (Open Port Area) Street.
