The schedule for this day is also quite rushed! w
The first thing I did in the morning was the largest flower market in Korea.
[Yangjae Flower Market]
・Korean notation: 양재 꽃 시장
・Address: 232 서울특별시 서초구 양재동
・Nearest station: Sinbundang Line (신분당선) Yangjae Citizens Forest Station
Exit 4 4 minutes on foot
It's a little far from the center of Seoul, but it's about 30 minutes from Seoul Station, including transfers.
Is there really a market in such a place when you exit Exit 4 of Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station? ? I'm a little uneasy, but if I go straight as it is,
You will see a colorful building suddenly on your right.
This is like a building that sells cut flowers.
And next to this colorful building, if you go further from the station,
You can see the greenhouses lined up.
From colorful buildings
Cross the cute flower crosswalk w
When you enter the greenhouse, there are rows of shops.
I will tell you a little bit about the inside of this greenhouse through live streaming, and it is still on the Instagram reel, so please take a look if you like ♪
There are two greenhouses of about 50m x 120m. There are many aisles as shown in the photo above, and there are about 400 shops!
I wanted to take my time to see everything on a quick trip, but I just took a quick look around ww
Next to each other, not the same type of flower shop, but randomly lined up.
↑This shop only sells orchids.
Here are various.
And speaking of succulents. . .
I can see it? ?
It is placed in front of the shop for a while like this,
One bonsai-style shop,
And like this, is it a succulent main? There are about 2 shops ↑ ↓.
This was 1000 won (about 105 yen) uniform ♡︎
Echeveria, Crassula, Aeonium, Sempervivum, Cotyledon, etc.
And outside the greenhouse
There was also a shop that handled pots and gardening supplies.
I don't think it's handmade, but there was also a Korean bowl with a distinctive foot.
bitter.
It's small, but it looks handmade. It has a very handmade feel to it, but w
oh. Discover soil that is often seen in Japan!
Kanuma soil with large grains and Akadama. Is it OK to import this kind of soil??
There were a lot of Hyponex's products ~ w
There's still a long way to go, so here's a bonus photo ↓
fishbone.
I want this♡︎
It looks like kelp, but the name is "fish bone" w
And I often saw this in the Korean market. I wonder if it's popular? ?
Looking at it now, this is also a kind of succulent, and it is also called "peacock cactus" or "centipede cactus", and it seems that it can be enjoyed by hanging. ...Ah, looking at pictures of large seedlings, I feel like I see them quite often in Japan too ^^;
Since it is not planted in the soil, you may be able to bring it back to Japan as it is! ? Plant 1

Is it the orchid system? excuse me. . . I'm not familiar with it, so I don't know, but it's not soil, but it's grown on a board or driftwood, so there's no soil.
There were a few other miscellaneous goods, but this was a market with many potted foliage plants.
Next, take the subway to the second flower market!
[Highway Bus Terminal Flower Market]
Korean notation: 서울고속버스터미널 꽃도매상가 Kot Mesanga)
Address: 서울특별시 반포동 19-4, 경부선터미널 3F
(Seoul Special City Seocho-gu 19-4 Banpo-dong, Gyeongbu Line Terminal 3F )
Nearest station: Exit 1 of Express Bus Terminal Station on Subway Lines 3, 7, and 9
There is also a flower market above the express bus terminal station, which is also famous for Seoul's largest underground shopping mall "Goto Mall".
Go out Exit 1 and look to the right,
You can see a building like this. This is the building where the express bus terminal is located.
Enter this entrance,
Proceed to the right, then go straight to the left at the first passage,
You can see the information, so take the elevator behind it to the 3rd floor.
I called out to various people before arriving here w
I also found the display.
The first floor has a new and fashionable feeling with a waiting room for express buses, ticket counters, cafes and restaurants. Is there a flower market around here? ? While thinking that, when I got on the elevator and went up to the 3rd floor,
there was. Flower market!
It seems that the general public can also buy it, but it seems that you can purchase it in a bundle (7 to 10 pieces) instead of one.
flowers are piling up
A fairly large one floor is a flower market.
There are also many small shops here.
The cut flower zone is also quite wide, but this flower market is
Floral wrapping paper and ribbon
Cute♡
Miscellaneous goods such as stickers
Vases and interior goods
racing supplies
vase
stylish flower pot
Lots of reasonably priced pots♡︎
However, when I bring it back to Japan, the weight is...
Unfortunately Mr. Tamiku is ↑ here and
↑ It was about here ^^;
later,
w
cactus jungle~
This and the previous photo are all artificial flowers.
There were quite a lot of artificial flower shops.
A strange Japanese person who walks with a fairy tale.
It looks like it's going to be a lost child.
dried flowers or
small goods,
What is the antique type and the tree in the foreground? ?
summer? Ocean? System goods.
The small store space is so packed that it would take hours to look at each one! !
There were a lot of shops where you can enjoy yourself while mumbling and chatting w
By the way, the price is written on the product, and it is not written.
However, since this is also a wholesale market, when I tried it at several shops other than cut flowers, they didn't mind if I asked "How much is it?" in English. Gave me!
It will be a later story, but the next day I went to the flower market in Namdaemun. This express bus terminal flower market is much wider than Namdaemun!
But you can enjoy both ♡︎
Morning ends here.
In the afternoon, we will take a local bus like the day before and head for a meat shop.
Half a day, visiting two markets has become so long ^ ^;
I would like to take a break here and write about the situation from the afternoon on the next blog!
