Sokcho Jodong-dong Prehistoric Site 속초조양동선사유적
Sokcho · Cheongho-dong & Sokcho Beach · Museums & exhibits
Reconstructed pit dwellings sit on a quiet patch of lawn near the lake, marking where Neolithic people once lived. The site is small, so a visit is quick, but it adds a different layer to a city better known for seafood and mountains. Informational panels explain the finds, and the thatched huts give a sense of scale.
It makes a calm stop on a walk around the lake and costs nothing to enter. English information may be limited, so a translation app is useful. The grounds are open daily, but exact hours may change.
Take a short taxi ride from the bus terminals to the lakeside, then walk the lake path. (Show a driver: 속초조양동선사유적)
