Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gangneung is an East Sea coastal city in Gangwon State combining historic sites, beaches and Chodang tofu culture. Check transport and operating arrangements separately for Ojukheon and Gyeongpo Beach and start in one area.

This guide covers places within Gangneung, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ingredients, preparation and seasonings vary by vendor. Check soy, added seafood, seasonings and allergies; no particular shop’s current menu or price is guaranteed.
