Background on how the former citrus sorting warehouse in Gwideok-ri became the workshop of ‘Jaejudojoa’
Jjagjjag Geosanghoe is located at 192 Gwideok 6-gil, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and is a beachcombing-based cultural and arts space operated by ‘Jaejudojoa.’ According to an introduction by the Jeju Tourism Organization, this building was once a citrus sorting warehouse, and the rural workspace where citrus was sorted and distributed has been repurposed into a workshop and exhibition space dealing with marine debris issues.
The space’s core activity is beachcombing. It does not stop at collecting trash washed ashore and litter left by people, but reconnects sea glass and marine debris through crafts, education, and exhibitions. Jaejudojoa runs upcycling product production, environmental arts education, small performances, and cultural events, and at the ‘Beachcombing Festival_Desired Sea’ it has combined marine cleanup, workshops, beach exhibitions, a secondhand market, and music performances.

Thursday to Sunday 09:00~17:00, free admission and how to check for irregular closures
According to the Korea Tourism Organization tourism information, operating hours are Thursday through Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00, and the regular closed days are every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The tourism information notes that there may be irregular closures, so visitors are advised to check Naver Place or the official Instagram just before visiting. In particular, if you are including it on the day of arrival by flight or as part of a West Coast drive itinerary, it is safer to check the day’s post.
Admission to the space is free. However, free admission refers to using the shop and exhibition space, and hands-on experiences such as sea glass frames, sea glass brooches, sea glass sanding brooches, haenyeo mobiles, and silkscreen eco-bags may differ in cost and availability by program. Participation fees for experiences are not uniformly available in public tourism information, so it is better to ask first by phone at 010-8155-1242 about the schedule, number of people, and cost.
- Operating hours: 09:00~17:00
- Regular closed days: Every Monday~Wednesday
- Admission fee: Free
- Inquiry: 010-8155-1242

From sea glass frames to silkscreen eco-bags, 4 things to ask before same-day hands-on experience
The experience items listed in the official tourism information are making a sea glass frame, making a sea glass brooch, making a sea glass sanding brooch, making a haenyeo mobile, and making a silkscreen eco-bag. The products sold include upcycled crafts such as sea glass accessories, vases, and wooden lamps. It is a place where your stay time can vary greatly depending on whether you are only shopping or also joining an experience.
Jeju Tourism Organization content introduces the use of materials made by washing, drying, and kiln-firing sea glass. In the sanding brooch class, the process introduced was to choose the desired glass pieces and patterns or letters, attach letter stickers, and then shave the surface with a sandblasting effect. However, this content is an example of a program at the time it was introduced, so you should confirm by phone whether the class is currently available, whether a reservation is required, and how to receive the finished product.
- Experience example 1: Making a sea glass frame
- Experience example 2: Making a sea glass brooch
- Experience example 3: Making a sea glass sanding brooch
- Experience example 4: Making a haenyeo mobile
- Experience example 5: Making a silkscreen eco-bag
5 free parking spaces for passenger cars, restroom available inside
Parking is available for about 5 cars and is free. This is a small workshop rather than a large tourist attraction with ample parking, so on weekends, public holidays, or during times when experience schedules overlap, it is better to plan for alternative transportation rather than expecting an open space before entering by car. Official tourism information states that there is a restroom.
Public transportation from Jeju Airport to this place can vary widely depending on transfers and bus intervals, so it is difficult to state a fixed travel time. Users of rental cars or taxis can enter both the address ‘192 Gwideok 6-gil’ and the coordinates 33.428803, 126.289461. Bus users should check the day’s stops, transfers, and walking segments on the Jeju Bus Information System from their departure point, and should note that the nearest bus route and stop are not separately listed in the official tourism information.
- Parking: About 5 cars
- Parking fee: Free
- Restroom: Yes
- Coordinates: 33.428803, 126.289461
- Recommended stay: 20~30 minutes for shopping; if including an experience, confirm the required time when booking
Distance Standard when combining with Gwideok Breakwater and Jeju Olle Trail Course 15
The area around Jjagjjag Geosanghoe is part of the coastal living area of Gwideok, Hallim-eup. In Korea Tourism Organization tourism information, Gwideok Sea Transparent Kayak is Informationed as being within about 973 m of here, and the address is 4 Gwideok 9-gil, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si. The kayak facility is a separate paid experience, with adult admission at 10,000 won, youth at 9,000 won, and children at 5,000 won, and operating hours are listed as 09:00 to 18:00, so the operating days and sea conditions of both places should be checked separately.
Nearby information for Gwideok Sea Transparent Kayak also mentions Geumseong Port, Gwideok Gwaemul Hill, Gwakji Beach, and Jeju Olle Trail Course 15. A route that understands upcycling materials and background at Geosanghoe before adding a coastal walk is naturally coherent, but on windy days it is better to shorten the itinerary and focus on indoor experiences and shop visits rather than staying by the coast.
- Gwideok Sea Transparent Kayak: Within about 973 m
- Gwideok Sea Transparent Kayak address: 4 Gwideok 9-gil, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si
- Gwideok Sea Transparent Kayak operating hours: 09:00~18:00

Traveler checklist for distinguishing between ‘free viewing’ and ‘paid making’
This place is suited more to travelers who want to hear about the source of materials and production methods in a small workshop, or who are looking for upcycled items, than to travelers expecting a fixed route and large permanent exhibitions like those in a major museum. If you think that a long hands-on experience is automatically available just because admission is free, your schedule may be disrupted. It is necessary to inquire in advance about whether experiences are available and how much they cost.
Wheelchair and stroller routes, accessibility facilities, and whether foreign language guidance is provided were not confirmed in the public tourism information. If assistance with mobility is needed or if guidance in English, Chinese, or another foreign language is required, it is a good idea to call 010-8155-1242 and ask specifically about entrance steps, restroom access, experience assistance, and whether interpretation is possible. Checking the operating days, whether a class reservation is needed, participation fees, parking availability, and foreign language guidance all at once can reduce on-site variables.
- Before visiting 1: Confirm Thursday~Sunday operation and irregular closures
- Before visiting 2: Confirm whether the desired experience is available on the day
- Before visiting 3: Confirm participation fee, required time, and whether reservation is needed
- Before visiting 4: Confirm whether parking for 5 cars remains available
- Before visiting 5: Confirm whether wheelchair and stroller access and foreign language guidance are available
