Traveler highlights
Tongin Market began in 1941 to serve nearby residents. Today, about 75 businesses include restaurants, street-food stalls and food shops. West of Gyeongbokgung, it is known for its coin-lunchbox experience: choose dishes from different stalls to make your own meal. The market offers Korean food, quick bites and groceries. It expanded as the neighborhood grew after the Korean War and later received official status and facility upgrades, while retaining an intimate scale. Browsing the stalls and assembling a lunchbox offers a glimpse of local daily life through food.
