Jeju Underground Shopping centers on Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center (제주 중앙지하상가), a 12-entrance arcade beneath central Jeju City that extends from the Dongmun Traditional Market side toward Gwandeokjeong Pavilion. This guide covers its layout, current shopping categories, confirmed stores, tax-refund checks, and a practical way to navigate the underground route.
Jeju Jungang Underground Mall Quick Information

How to Navigate Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center
The numbered entrances are the most useful navigation system. Visit Jeju identifies 12 entrances running from the Dongmun Traditional Market end of the arcade to the Gwandeokjeong Pavilion end. Note the entrance number used on arrival so that returning to the same street is straightforward.
A practical route is to enter at one end, follow the central corridor, and use the overhead signs to track the remaining exits. Visitors with a fixed appointment or a specific store should search the shop name together with “제주중앙지하상가” and confirm its unit number before going underground.
The shopping center is not a single department store with one unified directory, checkout, or return desk. Each shop manages its own stock, payment, exchange, closing time, and tax-refund procedure. Ask at the shop before payment rather than applying one store’s policy to the entire arcade.
What to Buy at Jeju Underground Shopping
The arcade includes clothing, miscellaneous goods, restaurants, souvenir shopping, and cultural facilities. Beauty stores and a concentrated group of children’s clothing shops are also located inside the mall.
Accessories and Small Goods
Compact accessories and miscellaneous goods are suitable for visitors who want to compare several displays without carrying large purchases. Check the material, size, packaging, exchange conditions, and whether the displayed item is the same one that will be packed.
For fragile or packaged items, inspect the product before leaving the shop. Receipts should be kept until the purchase has been checked, particularly when the same type of item is sold by several independent retailers.
Beauty and Skincare Stores
Two current beauty-store locations are confirmed at the Jungang-ro 60 address. Innisfree Jeju is listed at units 138 and East 1–2, while Aritaum Jeju Jungang is listed at units 73–75.
- Innisfree Jeju: 138, East 1–2, Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center
- Aritaum Jeju Jungang: Units 73–75, Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center
Product lines and promotions can change. Confirm the shade, volume, expiry information, sealed condition, refund eligibility, and exchange policy before purchasing cosmetics. Pack liquids within the baggage rules for your flight.
Children’s Clothing
Children’s clothing is one of the clearest current store groups inside the arcade. Confirmed locations include Sfit Jeju, CHEEK, CELDEN, and Hangten Kids. Their unit numbers make it easier to identify the correct branch rather than a similarly named shop elsewhere in Jeju City.
- Sfit Jeju: Units 236–237
- CHEEK Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center: Units 257–258
- CELDEN Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center: Unit 249
- Hangten Kids Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center: Units 271–272
For children’s apparel, check the Korean size label against the child’s measurements. Do not rely only on an age printed on the tag, and confirm whether discounted merchandise can be exchanged.
Fashion and Sportswear
Greenjoy Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center is currently listed at unit 120 and West 1–3. The branch is categorized as a fashion store, while its tourism shopping entry identifies sporting goods as its principal sales category.
Clothing stores may place merchandise beyond the immediate doorway, but each display belongs to an individual retailer. Confirm the shop responsible for the item before asking about size, payment, or exchanges.
Tax Refund and Payment Checks
The CELDEN and Greenjoy branches inside the mall are identified as tax-refund shops. CELDEN specifies immediate tax refund or a later refund claim, but the available method can depend on the transaction and the system operating at the shop.
- Before payment: Ask whether the exact purchase qualifies for a tax refund.
- Passport: Carry the original passport when requesting tourist tax-refund processing.
- Refund method: Confirm whether tax is deducted immediately or refund documents are issued.
- Receipt: Keep the receipt and any refund document provided by the store.
- Other stores: Do not assume that every shop in the arcade offers tax refund.
Tax-refund participation is store-specific. A shop operating in the same mall may use a different refund provider or may not participate. Store staff should confirm the current procedure before the transaction is completed.
Getting There and Planning the Route
Use the Korean address 제주특별자치도 제주시 중앙로 지하 60 or the place name 제주 중앙지하상가 in a navigation application. Once at street level, choose the entrance closest to the part of the arcade you need and record its number.
The underground route reaches between the Dongmun Traditional Market side and the Gwandeokjeong Pavilion side of central Jeju City. Those places are useful orientation points, but this guide keeps the shopping plan inside the underground mall rather than repeating the separate Dongmun Market shopping route.
Allow your shopping order to follow the corridor: locate specific unit-number stores first, compare independent retailers next, and complete any tax-refund paperwork at the point of purchase. General hours are listed as 10:00–22:00, but arriving well before closing provides time for stores that finish earlier.
