Oegosan Onggi Village
외고산 옹기마을
Korea's largest traditional earthenware jar village, where kimchi and soy sauce crocks line the streets, with an onggi museum and hands-on pottery workshops.
Oegosan Onggi Village took shape in the 1950s and became home to many onggi makers, the craftspeople who produce the earthenware jars used to store kimchi and doenjang. Workshops are still active today. The village includes the Ulsan Onggi Museum, which was once recognized by Guinness World Records for its world's largest onggi, as well as an onggi school and an experience center, where you can book sessions in wheel-throwing and hand-building. The museum is closed on Mondays, but you're free to wander the village at your own pace. It sits right next to Namchang Station on the Donghae Line, about 30 minutes from Ulsan by train or car.
Opening hours
9:00 AM–6:00 PM; museum closed Mondays
