About

Daejeon Soje-dong Railway Official Residence Village is a village formed for railway workers on the site where Sojeho Lake was filled in during the Japanese colonial period. Overcoming war and the crisis of redevelopment, it remains the largest railway official residence village ruins in the country, and was preserved through the local community's efforts to protect the value of modern heritage. Recently, it has been loved as a newtro-style attraction, with unique cafes and restaurants that preserve traces of time, such as the tatami rooms and frames of Japanese-style houses.

You can experience a different atmosphere where Daejeon's modern history and vibrant culture blend together while walking along the old alleyways.
