They are also not what we are talking about here.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The five-day market (\uc624\uc77c\uc7a5, o-il-jang) is something else entirely. There are nine of them and each appears every five days at a fixed facility, running from early morning until mid-afternoon. 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, prices are low, and on a good day you will be surrounded by Jeju people doing what they have done for centuries.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is what you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2ab6cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b2ab6cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Brief History of a Very Old Idea\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3650ef1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3650ef1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-1024x525.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3597\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-1536x788.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9950-e1773476055838.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50fc284 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50fc284\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The five-day market system in Korea predates the Joseon dynasty.

It offers the widest range of goods: produce, seafood, clothing, household items, snacks, and sit-down food stalls. If this is your first five-day market experience, start here.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hallim Five-Day Market (\ud55c\ub9bc\uc624\uc77c\uc7a5) is on the western side of the island. It is a smaller market, very much a community affair, with vendors who know each other and return every five days. The fruit quality is exceptional, and the gimbap \uae40\ubc25 vendor here reportedly draws a waiting list. If you go, find the gimbap stall first, put your name in, and browse the rest of the market while you wait.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sehwa Five-Day Market (\uc138\ud654\uc624\uc77c\uc7a5) is on the northeast coast, a short walk from the Haenyeo Museum. This market has historical weight: Sehwa and the neighboring village of Hado were the starting point of the haenyeo \ud574\ub140 resistance against Japanese occupation in the 1930s. The statue in front of the market commemorates that movement. If you are already visiting the Haenyeo Museum or walking the Sumbisuri-gil coastal path, timing your visit to a Sehwa market day gives you a full picture of that part of Jeju&#8217;s story in a single morning.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Goseong Five-Day Market (\uace0\uc131\uc624\uc77c\uc7a5), near Seongsan Ilchulbong \uc131\uc0b0\uc77c\ucd9c\ubd09, is a small, very local market. It is not known for size or variety, but it appeared in the K-drama Our Blues, and the market itself has the feel of a working village gathering rather than any kind of attraction. Combine it with a visit to Seongsan sunrise peak if you are in the area.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e50cfa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e50cfa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1530\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3607\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546.jpg 1530w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546-1024x495.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546-768x371.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0022-e1773476126546-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1530px) 100vw, 1530px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-856437c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"856437c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1cded8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f1cded8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1380\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3460\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets.png 1380w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets-1024x646.png 1024w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets-768x484.png 768w, https:\/\/vamosajeju.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeju-Map-5-Day-Markets-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac63071 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac63071\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Location &amp;
