Located in the southeast of Geoje-do, Jise-po Port boasts a beautiful landscape, living up to its name meaning 'to widely make known a beautiful port to the world. ' Topographically, Jisim-do blocks the port and acts as a natural breakwater, so it has functioned since ancient times as a shelter port to avoid rough storms and a strategic military point. It has a history where a fortress was built to prevent the invasion of Japanese marauders, and in modern times, a Japanese fishing advance base and even a whaling company were established.
A 'bullet-riddled tree' retaining traces of the Korean War remains in Jisepo Park, telling stories of the past. Designated as a national fishing port in 1971, it has steadily developed, and today it is a vibrant port visited by many people, serving as a transportation hub where cruise ships depart for Oedo and Haegeumgang, and where various tourist facilities such as the Shipbuilding and Marine Culture Hall, Fishing Village Folk Exhibition Hall, and Geoje Sea World are concentrated.
