Jeju’s 5-Day Markets: The One Experience Not To Miss
The five-day markets (오일장, o-il-jang) of Jeju are treasure troves of authentic experiences, quality produce, and fair prices. There are nine of them and each appears every five days at a fixed facility. The stalls are operated almost entirely by older locals selling produce, seafood, and snacks that they grew, caught, or made themselves. There is almost no tourist infrastructure, but here’s how to access them.
