Former Japanese Plantation House in Hwaho-ri, Jeongeup

Built in the 1920s, this house belonged to a Japanese-owned plantation that held vast tracts of land across the Jeongeup and Gimje area. A reception and office building projects from the left of the house's front facade, with the building where the Japanese owners lived set behind it to the right; the two sections are linked by a corridor. The house bears witness to the lifestyle of Japanese landlords and to the history of rural exploitation they carried out during the Japanese colonial period.
