    Wet rock, waves, fishing activity and private or working access create separate hazards and permissions.

    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Use the current general deck window

      Year-round scheduling does not override a same-day marine warning, inspection, wet-deck barrier or local closure.

    2. 02
      Use the current summer extension

      Longer hours do not guarantee sunset colour, lighting, parking or safe access after rain and strong wind.

    3. 03
      Obey the live sea and gate decision

      Strong wind, high-wave, storm-surge and other marine warnings prohibit entry. Stay behind barriers and never substitute the rocky working shore when the deck closes.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Is the observatory guaranteed open during 09:00–18:00?

    No. Strong wind, high waves, storm surge, other marine warnings, inspection and wet surfaces can close the gate at any time.

    Can I use the rocks below when the deck closes?

    No. A deck closure is not permission to enter a working or wave-exposed rocky shore. Stay on signed public routes and behind barriers.

    Are the operating details for Igari Anchor Observatory live?

    The displayed guidance was checked September 1, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

      Before stepping onto the deck

      Obey the live sea and gate decision

      Strong wind, high-wave, storm-surge and other marine warnings prohibit entry. Stay behind barriers and never substitute the rocky working shore when the deck closes.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Check the marine forecast and current gate again on arrival because the exposed deck can close after an earlier city check.
    • Wear shoes with grip, secure hats and loose items, and keep children within the signed rail line.
    • Use another signed coastal viewpoint as the fallback instead of descending to rocks when the deck is closed.
    • Search “이가리 닻 전망대 경상북도 포항시 북구 청하면 이가리 67” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Check rain, wind, waves and any access or transport notice on the day.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
