A neighborhood market on the first floor in Hwabuk-dong

Browse farm and seafood products and local food
The tourism page lists fruit and vegetable shops, seafood and butcher shops, restaurants and a supermarket. Products vary by shop. If you need a particular item, call ahead; ask about packaging and storage for fish, meat and other food.
A visit here is about seeing neighborhood shops in Hwabuk rather than a particular tourist menu. The bathhouse and residences are separate facilities; do not confuse them with the market route or enter private areas.

No combined opening hours have been confirmed
Visit Jeju says shop details vary and does not give market-wide hours. The September 2026 Jeju Province Chuseok refund event is evidence of market activity at that time, but does not establish regular opening hours or guarantee that every shop is operating.
Do not turn an older description of a business function into evidence that the market has closed. Recent official event records and tourism pages refer to the market, but check the market and the shops you plan to visit on the day.
Year-round markets may still have shop-specific closing days, so check the schedule of the shop you plan to visit.

Check the address discrepancy before setting out
The visitor-guide address uses Visit Jeju’s Korean map address 제주시 진동로5길 31. National Traditional Market Standard Data instead lists 청풍길 14. The two addresses have not been confirmed as the same entrance, so search by the market name and the shop you plan to visit, and reconfirm the entrance before departure. Visit Jeju lists 064-752-3001 as the phone number.
For bus routes, search the Jeju Bus Information System using your starting point and both address options for Hwabuk General Market. This guide does not confirm a particular stop or direct service. Official information also does not clearly confirm car parking or taxi pickup locations, so check before arriving and note the entrance sign and return landmark. No travel time or fare is estimated.

This guide uses Visit Jeju’s Korean map address 제주시 진동로5길 31. National Traditional Market Standard Data lists 청풍길 14, so the addresses differ and it is unconfirmed whether they point to the same entrance. Check the location of the shop you plan to visit separately.

Note the entrance you use and your return point
Official information does not list the number of entrances or parking details. On site, identify the actual market entrance and where your car is, and record them with a photo or note. Use the market-level shop aisles only, leaving clear access for residents and bathhouse visitors.
After your visit, use the same entrance to find the bus stop, car or taxi pickup point. Because no combined hours are confirmed, do not assume the market is open at a particular time; check with the shop you plan to visit first.
