A memorial hall commemorating the Naju Student Independence Movement, which took place during the Japanese occupation period, is situated adjacent to the old Naju Station.

The Naju Student Independence Movement was spurred by a conflict between Japanese and Korean students, who were commuting to school on a train between Naju and Gwangju, at the Naju Station on October 30, 1929. The Naju Student Independence Movement is commonly viewed as one of the three major independence movements that were organized during the Japanese occupation period. Next to the old Naju Station, regarded as the originating point for the movement, the Naju Student Independence Movement Memorial Hall was opened on July 25, 2008 to raise awareness of modern history and to provide insight into the Naju Student Independence Movement and the situation in Jeollanam-do during the colonial period.

The memorial hall, where there are various exhibits providing information on the movement, is open daily from 9:00 a.m. until 6 p.m., and the admission is free-of-charge. When you visit the memorial hall, don’t forget to check out the old Naju Station, which has been designated as Jeollanam-do Monument No. 183.
