Gunsan Mother-Daughter Retro Trip Guide: How to Join ‘A Day in Gunsan’

Gunsan’s mother-daughter retro trip, officially promoted as the 2026 “A Day for Mother and Daughter in Gunsan” retro edition, is a one-day emotional travel program built around the city’s old downtown, modern cultural sites, and memory-filled photo spots. For travelers searching for a focused Gunsan Time Travel experience with a parent or daughter, the key details are clear: the program is scheduled for June 20, 2026, and recruitment is limited to 20 mother-daughter teams from outside Gunsan.¹

Gunsan Mother-Daughter Retro Trip: Who It Is For

The 2026 program is designed specifically for mothers and daughters traveling together. Gunsan City is selecting 20 teams, or 40 people in total, from regions outside Gunsan, making this a small-group day tour rather than an open-ended independent itinerary.¹ The participation fee is 25,000 won per person.¹

The retro edition is the first round of the 2026 “A Day for Mother and Daughter in Gunsan” program. Local reporting describes the project as a same-day packaged tourism program that first appeared in 2024, with the 2026 edition organized around old downtown modern culture and nostalgic spaces.² That structure matters for visitors: this is not simply a list of photo locations, but a curated route that uses Gunsan’s historic streets and retro atmosphere as the setting for a shared family experience.

Applications opened at 10:00 a.m. on June 10, 2026, through the QR code in Gunsan City’s official social media recruitment post.² Another local report described recruitment as first-come, first-served for 20 teams.³ Because the format is limited and previous editions drew strong interest, anyone considering the program should treat the application window as the most important practical step.

That caution is supported by the 2025 edition. The June 28, 2025 “A Day for Mother and Daughter in Gunsan-K Tourism Island Edition” closed early in three hours after first-come, first-served recruitment, with 405 total applicants. Of those, 125 applicants came from Seoul and Gyeonggi, accounting for 31 percent.⁴

Date, Departure Point, and Retro Route Highlights

The 2026 retro trip is scheduled for June 20, 2026. Gunsan City’s official Instagram recruitment notice says the program departs at 10:00 a.m. from the large parking lot of the Modern History Museum.⁵ The official notice also frames the day as a Gunsan retro course for making memories, which fits the mother-daughter focus of the program.⁵

The course includes several well-known old downtown and retro travel locations: Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village, the Japanese-style House in Sinheung-dong, Chowon Photo Studio, and Malaengi Village.¹ These are the practical place names to know if you are comparing the official program with independent Gunsan Time Travel routes.

Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village is included as a nostalgic stop, while the Japanese-style House in Sinheung-dong connects the course to Gunsan’s modern-era urban heritage. Chowon Photo Studio adds a pop-culture and photo-stop element, and Malaengi Village broadens the route beyond a single street or museum area. The sources do not provide a minute-by-minute timetable for each stop, so readers should rely on the official recruitment notice and any follow-up instructions from the organizer for exact on-site timing.

The program is not limited to sightseeing. One report says the day also includes time at a cafe for writing and reading letters, adding a planned personal activity to the old downtown tour.³ After the trip, participants are also expected to have access to an SNS review-sharing event.³

A short official comment describes the program as carefully prepared, with a Gunsan City official saying the city has prepared “a substantial program.”¹ Kim Moon-sook, director of Gunsan City’s Culture and Tourism Bureau, also described it as an emotional tourism product made by adding the stories of mothers and daughters to Gunsan’s own tourism resources.²

How to Apply and What to Check Before Going

The most important application detail is the channel: recruitment began through the QR code on Gunsan City’s official social media recruitment post at 10:00 a.m. on June 10, 2026.² Gunsan City’s official Instagram Q&A also reconfirmed the same first-come, first-served application time.⁵

Before applying, confirm that both travelers fit the mother-daughter team format and that the team is from outside Gunsan, because the available reports specify selection of mother-daughter teams from other regions.¹ Also check the participation fee of 25,000 won per person and the departure plan from the Modern History Museum large parking lot at 10:00 a.m. on June 20, 2026.¹⁵

For planning purposes, this is best understood as a guided, one-day retro route rather than a flexible independent trip. The available sources list the course locations and several program elements, but they do not provide full transportation details, refund rules, meal information, or a complete hour-by-hour schedule. Those details should be checked in the official recruitment post or any direct guidance sent after application.
