Anyongbok Memorial Hall

Ahn Yong-bok was a fisherman during the reign of King Sukjong of the Joseon Dynasty and went to Japan twice in 1693 and 1696 to protest the Hoki governor and the Edo Shogunate against illegal Japanese fishing activities in Ulleungdo and Dokdo. This was possible because Anyongbok had previously worked at Waegwan in Busan and was fluent in Japanese. Ahn Yong-bok's activities served as an important opportunity for Japan to reaffirm that Dokdo is Joseon territory and to strictly crack down on its citizens' crossing of Ulleungdo and Dokdo.
The Anyongbok Memorial Hall was created to permanently commemorate the great achievements of Anyongbok, who fought hard to protect Ulleungdo and Dokdo, and to provide a place for education to inherit and develop his spirit with the noble spirit of love for the country. Outside of the memorial hall, a statue depicting Ahn Yong-bok's achievements and a model of the panokseon used during the Japanese-Japanese process are installed to commemorate him. The shrine on the right side of the memorial hall enshrines General Ahn Yong-bok's memorial tablet, providing a space where people who wish to honor his memory can pay their respects at any time.
