On the 4th and 9th of Every Month, the Shopping Baskets of Seongsan Residents Gather at Goseong Five-Day Market
Goseong Five-Day Market is the only five-day market held in the Seongsan area, operating from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on days ending in 4 or 9 each month. It is a good stop to include between visits to Seongsan Ilchulbong and Gwangchigi Beach, but if it is not market day, the market's function is greatly reduced, so checking the date comes first.

Morning 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on the 4th and 9th: A market day held only in Seongsan-eup
Goseong Oil Market is located at 93 Goseong Ojo-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and is open only on days whose month date ends in 4 or 9. In other words, the market days are the 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th, and 29th, and opening hours are 08:00~14:00. Since it is not open every day like a typical tourist facility, it is better to first match your stay in Seongsan with the market day.
Admission is free and no advance reservation is required. However, since the main sales activity is concentrated in the morning, some stalls may be closing down as 14:00 approaches. If your schedule is short, it is practical to visit the market first between 08:00 and 11:00, then move on to Seongsan Ilchulbong or Gwangchigi Beach.
- Market days: 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th, and 29th of every month
- Operating hours: 08:00~14:00
- Admission: Free
- Reservation: Not required
A market that moved to Goseong-ri in 1984 and connects the Seongsan and Gujwa living areas
Goseong Oil Market is a market that was relocated to its current site in 1984. According to Seogwipo-si materials, the market has 67 stalls, and records show that it has long served not only Goseong-ri in Seongsan-eup but also residents of nearby Gujwa-eup in Jeju-si as a neighborhood market.
Seongsan is an eastern coastal area with strong tourism demand thanks to Seongsan Port, Seongsan Ilchulbong, and Seopjikoji, but the basic character of this market is not tourist souvenirs; it is a market for residents' everyday shopping. The Jeju Tourism Organization guide also lists fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat, daily necessities, clothing, and farm tools as the main items. For travelers, it helps to think of this as a market where local daily goods are sold alongside regional specialties, rather than a place to buy only specialty products.
- Relocated to current site: 1984
- Number of stalls according to Seogwipo-si guide materials: 67
- Main items: fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat, clothing, daily necessities, farm tools
- The only oil market in the Seongsan area
Public parking lot at 93 Goseong Ojo-ro: on market days, check access before the market interior
As a market convenience facility, a public parking lot is provided. Seogwipo-si local information states that you can drive directly into the parking lot from Goseong Ojo-ro, and restaurants and nearby businesses across from the market also list the Goseong Oil Market public parking lot as a place to park. For car visits, set the navigation destination to "Goseong Oil Market" or use the street address.
The Goseong Ojo-ro area is a road where no-parking and no-stopping information is also posted. On market days, it is safer to enter the public parking lot first rather than stopping briefly on the road in front of the market. Parking fees are not specified in official tourism information, so it is best to follow the on-site signs; the availability of parking itself is confirmed by the public parking lot.

- Postal code: 63640

A 5 to 7 minute walk from Goseong Transfer Bus Stop, accessible by routes 101, 111, 201, and 211
For public transportation, use Goseong Transfer Bus Stop as your reference point. Based on Seongsan-area lodging information, you can take airport express routes 101 and 111, get off at Goseong Transfer Bus Stop, and walk about 5 to 7 minutes toward the market. From the Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal side, trunk routes 201 and 211 are listed as routes that access Goseong Transfer Bus Stop.
There are also branch routes that pass through Seongeup and Pyoseon. Materials from the Jeju Provincial Council state that route 721-3 runs from Seongeup New Culture Village via Seongsan-eup Office, Seopjikoji, Gwangchigi Beach, and Seongsan High School, then toward Goseong Oil Market and Goseong-ri. Routes and timetables may change, so you should check the stop name and departure time again on the Jeju Bus Information System on the day of travel.

Between Seongsan Ilchulbong and Gwangchigi Beach, a half-day route that fits only on market day
Goseong Oil Market is in a good location for visiting before starting an eastern Seongsan coastal tour. Seongsan Ilchulbong and Gwangchigi Beach are both in Seongsan-eup, and the Jeju Tourism Organization introduces Goseong Oil Market as one of the routes for filming locations in Seongsan for the drama <Our Blues>. It is possible to shop at the market and then enjoy the coastal scenery, but since the market ends at 14:00, you need to schedule it in the morning.
If you hike Seongsan Ilchulbong first, you may run into the market closing time, so on market days it is easier to manage your time in the order of market → Gwangchigi Beach → Seongsan Ilchulbong. The area around Seongsan Port Entrance is listed as about 2.2 km from Goseong Oil Market, and if you are planning a ferry from Seongsan Port or a trip to Udo, it is better to limit your market visit to around 30 to 60 minutes.
- Gwangchigi Beach: 63 Seopjikoji-ro, Seongsan-eup
- Area around Seongsan Port Entrance: about 2.2 km from the market
- Recommended market stay: 30 to 60 minutes
- Suggested order: market → Gwangchigi Beach → Seongsan Ilchulbong
Why it is not suitable if you expect a tourist-style food court, and tips for buying
Goseong Oil Market is notable for being a market where Seongsan residents buy everyday goods. The Jeju Tourism Organization explains that most visitors are Seongsan-eup residents, and that it has a rural market atmosphere different from urban oil markets. Therefore, it may not suit travelers who expect a large daily indoor market, a well-organized tourist-style food court, or a fixed menu board.
On the other hand, if you plan to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat, or side dishes for actual daily shopping, it is well worth visiting on market day. When buying seafood or chilled items, first decide whether your lodging can store them in a refrigerator and how much time you have before your next move; if you are flying that day, it is also wise to check airline rules for liquids and seafood packaging. Accessibility for wheelchairs and strollers, as well as foreign-language guidance, is not confirmed in official public information, so you should assess aisle conditions and whether you need assistance on site.
- Suitable purpose: Buying seasonal ingredients and daily necessities
- Expectation to be cautious about: A tourist-style permanent market open every day
- Before buying chilled items, check: Lodging refrigerator, travel time, and airline baggage rules
- Accessibility and foreign-language guidance: Cannot be confirmed in publicly available official information
