- Bupyeong Kkangtong Market - Situated in Jung-gu, Busan, Bupyeong Kangtong Market is a prominent market in Busan, alongside Gukje Market and Jagalchi Market. Historically, markets were held in the Bupyeong-dong area, but following the Ganghwa Island Treaty in 1876, Japanese residents began to settle and shop here, earning it the name ‘Korean-Japanese Market’. In 1915, it was officially designated as a public market by the Japanese and renamed ‘Bupyeongjeong Market’. After liberation, it became ‘Bupyeong Market’, and US military supplies started being imported and sold here. Notably, a significant amount of US military canned food was available, leading to its nickname “Bupyeong Can Market”, which remains in use today.
This market is particularly renowned for its culinary offerings, with bibim glass noodles and tofu pocket casserole being the standout dishes.
- Jagalchi Market - It is believed that the name Jagalchi Market originated because it was located on a gravel field after the Korean War. The word cheo (處), meaning a gravel field and place, was pronounced as chi in the Gyeongsang dialect, thus becoming Jagalchi. Visitors can discover a wide variety of fish here.
- Gukje Market - The history of Busan International Market began with the trade of goods left by Japanese returning to Japan after liberation and items brought by compatriots returning from abroad. Initially known as Dottegi Market, it was renamed Jayu Market in 1948 after a building was constructed. Visitors can explore a vast array of Korean traditional snacks, dishes, clothing, shoes, and numerous imported goods.
- Amidong Tombstone Culture Village - Visitors can walk along the tombstone road and enjoy panoramic views of Busan from the mountain area.

Busan is an amazing experience and well worth investing in a private tour - Wonderful day in Busan. Thank you to Vivian for showing us Busan. We enjoyed the beautiful Temple, the interesting markets and seeing Gamcheon. We loved the restaurant you suggested so that we could try South Korean cuisine. It was wonderful to be able to tailor the itinerary to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see.

Wonderful! - Whether this is your first visit to Busan, or you have been to this wonderful city before, MJ will put together an itinerary that will make you miss it so much once you leave! She is well-versed in all the sites we visited and flexible with the schedule to maximize the brief time we had there. Our driver, Mr. Moon, was also the Best! Very helpful, kind and considerate towards all of us! Both MJ and Mr. Moon had no hesitation to do what was best for our group. Highly Recommended!

Great day touring Busan for our family of 3 - I highly recommend MJ! Our family of 3 spent a wonderful custom day with MJ and her driver. She was fun, energetic and knowledgeable, and her partner was an extremely nice and safe driver with a very comfortable vehicle.
We needed to get from Gyeongju to Busan (and the train to Seoul) and wanted to do sightseeing en route. I contacted MJ and she put together a custom itinerary for us based on my wishlist - but also advised me on what was doable so that we would have enough time to enjoy.
In addition to some stops along the way from Gyeongju, we visited Yongungsa, Cheongsapo Daritol Observatory, Gamcheon Culture Village, and the Jagalchi Fish Market in Busan. Those alone would have made a very full day :)
As an extra treat, MJ took several photos along the way and printed them on her portable printer! And when our daughter (who is spending her college semester in Seoul) received a last minute email from school requiring whe submit a studio quality photo THAT DAY in order to meet her residence permit application deadline, MJ found us a studio and got the job done!

Wonderful family vacation in Busan - MJ is a great guide. Very good nature, always smiling and laughing with us. Also very patient since our family was 2 elderly grandparents, 2 parents, and three youthful children! MJ is very knowledgeable and answers our questions readily.
I also want to commend our driver, Mr. Cha, who was always on time and helpful.
