About this experience

Pharmacies in Tonggumi are the primary retail medicine outlets on the eastern shore of Ulleungdo, serving residents and visitors in the village and nearby coastal trails. These shops stock prescription and over-the-counter Korean medications, first-aid supplies, and basic health products, with staff able to assist in Korean. Operating hours are typically shorter than mainland pharmacies, often closing by early evening, and weekend availability is limited.

What to expect

  • Most pharmacies open from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, with a lunch break around 13:00-14:00.
  • Stock includes common analgesics, cold remedies, digestive aids, and motion-sickness tablets for ferry trips.
  • Staff can provide basic advice in Korean; English communication is limited, so bring a translation app or written symptoms.
  • Prescription fulfilment requires a Korean national health insurance card or a local doctor's prescription from Ulleungdo's clinic.
  • The nearest alternative pharmacy is in Dodong-ri, about 20 minutes by car or bus along the coastal road.
  • Suitable for travellers needing immediate minor medication refills or seasickness supplies before boarding the ferry.
