Miz Cafe — Restaurant in Gunsan-si

A fascinating historical spot in Gunsan! This red-brick building was originally built in 1908 and was used during the Japanese occupation as a facility to support the export of rice and other goods from Korea to Japan, especially through Gunsan Port.

The architecture is striking—with red brick exteriors, wooden interiors, and a beautiful roofline topped with three pointed towers. It’s a well-preserved reminder of Korea’s colonial-era history and offers a quiet moment of reflection for visitors.

What’s especially interesting is that this historic building is now home to Mizu Café (미즈 카페). The café serves a great selection of drinks in a warm and relaxing space. On the second floor, there’s a dadami-style Japanese dining area where you take off your shoes—cozy and peaceful.

The location is perfect for a short break while exploring the old town area. Whether you come before or after walking around the nearby heritage sites, this café is a meaningful and relaxing stop. Highly recommended!

군산의 매력을 느낄 수 있는 역사적인 공간입니다! 이 붉은 벽돌 건물은 1908년에 지어졌으며, 일제강점기 당시 군산항을 통해 쌀과 물자를 일본으로 반출하는 역할을 하던 곳으로 사용되었습니다.

붉은 벽돌 외관, 목재 구조의 내부, 그리고 지붕 위의 세 개의 뾰족한 탑이 인상적인 건물로, 근대사의 흔적을 고스란히 간직하고 있습니다. 조용히 둘러보며 과거를 되새기기에 좋은 장소입니다.

지금은 이 건물이 미즈 카페(Mizu Café)로 운영되고 있어 더욱 특별합니다. 다양한 음료를 제공하고 분위기도 매우 편안합니다. 특히 2층에는 신발을 벗고 들어가는 다다미 스타일의 일본식 좌식 공간이 마련되어 있어 조용히 휴식하기에 안성맞춤이에요.

주변 근대문화유산들을 둘러보다가 잠시 들르기에 딱 좋은 위치입니다. 의미 있고 편안한 휴식을 원하신다면 꼭...
