Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market
속초관광수산시장
Sokcho's town-centre market, laid out as separate alleys for fish, dried seafood and household goods. The market-wide hours are given as 08:00–24:00, but individual stalls set both their own hours and their own closing days — check the one you are aiming for.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the market have two names?
It was Sokcho Jungang (Central) Market before; Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market is the current official name. Both still appear on signs and maps, and they mean the same place.
Do I need cash?
Bring some. Stalls set their own terms, and card acceptance has never been stated as uniform across the market.
What about parking?
There is a 350-space car park, and a parking voucher is issued against a market receipt of 15,000 won or more.
