Travel Tips
Jumunjin Market is a traditional market that began forming in 1936 near Jumunjin Port. It is one of the largest seafood markets on the east coast, specializing in fresh wild-caught seafood. The market is connected with various local commercial areas, including a five-day market (held on the 1st and 5th), the general market, and sashimi centers.
While the Jumunjin Fish Market, established in 1988, is well known, the Jumunjin General Market, opened in 2006, is less widely recognized. In November 2009, an arcade roof was installed, and the market has since been modernized with upgraded electrical, communication, and facility systems.
If you visit the fish market, you can easily find the general market nearby, where you will discover a wide range of products, attractions, and food options. In 2013, Jumunjin Market was ranked No.1 as a preferred traditional market destination by a national association supporting small business economies. Festivals such as the Blowfish Festival and Squid Festival are held annually.
Visitors are also encouraged to use “Onnuri Gift Certificates,” which can be purchased at a discount and used conveniently in traditional markets. With diverse attractions and friendly service, this market is definitely worth a visit.
