Visit Jeju explicitly says Daejeong Five-Day Market opens on the 31st in months with 31 days and closes the following day, the 1st. Sehwa’s 30th-of-the-month listing was added based on Visit Jeju’s 2026 spring content and Korea Tourism Organization information. Public-data market-day cycles for Hamdeok and Seogwipo Local Five-Day Market differ from tourism information; each detail guide shows the sources.
Consider a morning visit to markets such as Hamdeok, Goseong, Pyoseon and Daejeong, which may wind down early in the afternoon. Check the same-day schedule and weather before setting out. If it is not a market day, switch to a year-round market in the same area or another attraction.
Daejeong: 31st opening and next-month 1st closure ↗Evidence for Sehwa market days on the 30th ↗Transit access and return arrangements differ by market. For buses, enter your starting point and travel date to check routes, service frequency and stops, including the walk from the stop to the market entrance. For taxis, give the driver the exact market name and pickup entrance and say how much luggage you have. At outlying markets, confirm whether you can call or book a return taxi in advance.
| Visit area | Markets and nearby itinerary options | Plan the return trip |
|---|---|---|
| Jeju City old downtown · Yongdam | Choose among Dongmun, Boseong and Seomun based on what you want to buy | Check distances and crossings between markets. If you buy food or heavy items, choose a return bus or taxi pickup point to your accommodation. |
| Near the airport · Dodu | Jeju Folk Five-Day Market → choose between Dodu and the Yongdam coast | Do not stay until just before departure because the market is near the airport. Allow separate time for market-day traffic, luggage, rental-car return and airport procedures. |
| East coast | Choose between Hamdeok or Sehwa Five-Day Market and a beach or the Haenyeo Museum in the same village | Before combining both markets in one trip, check their market days and travel between them. Plan your return stop, last bus or taxi pickup. |
| West Jeju · Hallim | Choose Hallim Maeil Market or Hallim Folk Five-Day Market, then consider Hallim Port or Hyeopjae | Distinguish the year-round and five-day markets. Travel to the beach is separate; check how to store purchases and where your car is parked before returning. |
| Seogwipo · Jungmun | Choose Maeil Olle Market, Seogwipo Local Five-Day Market or Jungmun Local Five-Day Market based on your accommodation area | Do not assume central Seogwipo and Jungmun are one walkable area. Check the bus or taxi to your accommodation and the market’s car-park entrance. |
| Seongsan · Pyoseon · Daejeong | Choose the market day at Goseong, Pyoseon or Daejeong, or visit Moseulpo Jungang Market | Do not combine distant areas in one itinerary. Visit five-day markets that may close early in the afternoon first, and secure your return transport. |
For a rental car, distinguish the market’s map listing from the actual car-park entrance. Parking availability, charges and discounts are determined on site; do not assume parking is free just because you searched for the market name. Do not leave fresh food in a car for a long time; ask the seller how to package and store it. The routes above are editorial suggestions, not bus timetables, confirmed taxi fares or booking products.
This guide uses Hallim-ro 687, listed by the Korea Tourism Organization in information updated 2026-10-16 and also by Visit Jeju, as the visitor-guide address for Hallim Maeil Market. Hwabuk General Market and Moseulpo Jungang Market have different addresses across agencies; each detail guide shows the source and discrepancy. It does not assume that conflicting addresses lead to the same entrance. On a map, check the market name together with the shop you plan to visit.
Operating information checked on 2026-10-22. The National Traditional Market Standard Data row is dated 2025-11-10 and the portal revision date is 2025-11-26; registration is not evidence that a market is open today. Some tourism detail pages do not show publication or revision dates. Phone availability, on-site operations, current prices and stock were not checked. Confirm closing days and hours separately for restaurants and other shops.
Older official status information lists Seongsan Five-Day Market in Seongsan-ri as not operating, and no evidence of reopening was obtained, so it is excluded from recommendations. Do not conflate it with Goseong Five-Day Market, which is listed in Seongsan-eup. See the shopping guide for night markets, flea markets, Chilseong-ro and Jungang Underground Shopping Center as separate types.
Year-round traditional markets differ from five-day markets that open only on scheduled dates. However, individual shops in a year-round market may close or keep different hours. Some shops near a five-day market may open outside market days, but that does not mean the whole market is open every day.
No. This guide selects seven year-round markets and nine five-day markets to help visitors compare places and access. Registered markets in the Dongmun area are grouped into one visit destination here; Chilseong-ro, Jungang Underground Shopping Center and flea markets are treated as different types of shopping. This is not a complete list or popularity ranking of all markets in Jeju.
This guide uses Visit Jeju’s listings: the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st and 26th for Hamdeok, and the 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th and 29th for Seogwipo Local Five-Day Market. Public data instead lists a 5th/10th-day pattern, so each detail guide notes the source discrepancy. Recheck the schedule locally just before your visit.
Visit Jeju’s 2026 spring content and Korea Tourism Organization information list the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th of each month. Some older detail information stops at the 25th. Recheck for closures or changes on your visit date.
Visit Jeju says that in a month with a 31st, the market opens on the 31st and closes the next day, the 1st of the following month. This exception applies only to Daejeong Five-Day Market; do not apply the same rule to other markets.
Choose a market in the same area as your accommodation and check the walking route between the bus stop and market entrance on a map. Plan separate transport between outlying markets and attractions. If you buy food or heavy items, first decide where you will board your return bus or meet a taxi.
Goseong Five-Day Market in Goseong-ri and Seongsan Five-Day Market in Seongsan-ri are separate. Older official status information lists Seongsan Five-Day Market as not operating; no evidence of reopening was obtained, so it is not included in this visitor list.
This guide shows the tourism-guide address it checked and notes source differences. For Hwabuk General Market and Moseulpo Jungang Market, the sources do not confirm that the different addresses point to the same entrance. Search for the market name and shop you plan to visit, check the actual entrance on a map, and ask shops separately about their hours.
