Jeju Peace Museum

Jeju-do


Gama Oreum is a parasitic volcano that hides an underground fortress created by the Japanese army in the final stages of WWII. Explore some of the 2km of tunnels, and a good selection of Japanese military memorabilia, in this decent but modest museum that will appeal to hard-core history enthusiasts.
