Jumunjin Seafood Market

Jumunjin Port is located to the north of Gangneung City, about 20 kilometers away from the urban area. The fishery resources along the coast of Jumunjin are extremely abundant. Built in 1917, Jumunjin Port has now developed into a multi-functional fishing port. Since 1936, a traditional aquatic products market has gradually formed near the port. Today's Jumunjin Aquatic Products Market includes a comprehensive market, a dried seafood market, and a fresh sashimi center, among others.

To have a more complete and accurate understanding of the Jumunjin Seafood Market, it's best to come here early in the morning! At dawn, returning fishing boats are fully loaded and the silhouettes of their tall masts are cast on the boundless sea. Corresponding to the bustling scene at the port, the aquatic products market also begins to get busy at this time.

There are a great many restaurants in this area. You can enjoy fresh and delicious sashimi at any time, and it's very affordable. Many Korean tourists also love to come here to taste the seafood.
