The old Gunsan Customs main building was completed in 1908, making it a modern-style building constructed by the Korean government before the Japanese colonial period began. The old Gunsan Customs was responsible for taxing and collecting duties on goods passing through Gunsan Port from the Japanese colonial era. As such, it is historically significant as a witness to the exploitation history of the Korean Peninsula by Japanese imperialism, which used Gunsan Port as a gateway for the extraction of rice and other resources. The building, made with red bricks imported from Belgium, is of European style and similar in style to Seoul Station and the Bank of Korea headquarters. The roof is made of lotus-shaped copper plates and features three pointed towers. The exterior is brick, while the interior is wooden. It was designed by an unnamed German. Gunsan Customs was established under the jurisdiction of Incheon Customs on May 1, 1899, with the building planned in 1906 and completed on June 20, 1908. It served as the main customs office for 85 years until 1993, when the neighboring old surveillance building was demolished to build a new office. Currently, it operates as the Honam Customs Museum, displaying records such as the Customs Guinness Book, Gunsan Customs in films, former customs directors, and 100 years of Gunsan Customs history. The museum offers two daily cultural tourist interpretation tours.

Jinpo Marine Theme Park is a marine park opened in 2008 to commemorate the Jinpo Naval Battle where General Choe Mu-seon of the late Goryeo period created cannons to repel over 500 Japanese ships. Set against the vast sea beside the harbor, visitors can see 16 military equipment units of 13 different types no longer in use. Exhibits include the navy ship Wibong, deployed in the Vietnam War, as well as armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, fighter jets, and army, navy, and air force equipment retired after frontline service in defense of the country. Visitors can enter inside the military equipment for hands-on boarding experiences. Inside Wibong, there is an exhibition hall displaying a model of the Jinpo Naval Battle, weapons used at the time, stories about the cannons made by General Choe Mu-seon, and a naval barracks life experience.

This villa house was built by Kumamoto Rihei, a large Japanese landlord who managed a large-scale farm in Gunsan during the Japanese colonial period. It served as a temporary residence during spring and harvest visits to the farm and features a mix of Western, Korean, and Japanese architectural styles. After liberation, it became known as Lee Young-chun House when Dr. Lee Young-chun, a pioneer in rural health and hygiene in Korea, resided there. Due to its beautiful exterior, it has been used as a filming location for many movies and dramas such as Bingjeom, Hourglass, and The Rustic Period. Dr. Lee Young-chun, called the Schweitzer of Korea, had the pen name Ssangcheon (雙川), meaning two streams that heal physical illness and the soul. Born in Yonggang-gun, Pyeongannam-do in October 1903, he became director of Jahye Clinic at the young age of 33 in April 1935, introduced by his homeroom teacher Watanabe from Gyeongseong Imperial University while studying law at Pyeongyang High School. He cared for over 20,000 tenant farming families affiliated with the Kumamoto farm in Gaejeong, Jeonbuk, and implemented Korea's first school nurse system and health insurance association.
