A tour of places related to Japanese people near Busan
About two hours north from Busan by express bus is the industrial port city of Pohang, where many of Korea's leading steel companies are located, including POSCO, the largest steel company in the Orient. In Guryongpo, located on the east coast from Pohang, there is a street of Japanese houses that was built about 2 years ago by fishermen who immigrated from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan.
Heading south from Pohang is Ulsan city, where factories of major companies such as Hyundai Motors are concentrated. In Ulsan, the tour takes you to places associated with Japanese people near Busan, including Seosaengpo Japanese Fortress, built by Kato Kiyomasa when Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and Ulsan Japanese Fortress, where fierce fighting took place between the Ming-Korea allied forces and Kato Kiyomasa's Japanese army.

Kyungpo
Located about 30 minutes by car from downtown Pohang on the east coast, Guryongpo is a town that prospered 100 years ago thanks to fishermen who immigrated from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan. Currently, there are many steamed crab specialty shops selling snow crabs, and Guryongpo Market has many shops selling gwamegi, a winter delicacy and Pohang specialty. Gwamegi is a dried fish made by freezing and thawing blue fish such as saury and herring in the cold winter and then fermenting and drying them.
