🛋️ IKEA Giheung | A Scandinavian Home & Family Destination in Yongin

Looking for furniture, home accessories, interior inspiration, Swedish food, and a family-friendly shopping experience in one place? IKEA Giheung in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do is one of Korea’s major IKEA stores and a useful destination for both residents and international visitors.

Instead of simply browsing shelves, you can walk through complete room displays, compare furniture sizes and layouts, pick up small home accessories, enjoy Swedish food, and spend several hours exploring ideas for your home.

📍 Address: 62, Singomae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea
🗺️ Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9dPDCjFFezURs4gfKGOrek
📞 Telephone: +82 1670-4532


🛋️ Why Visit IKEA Giheung?

IKEA is especially useful when you want to see how furniture actually works inside a realistic room setting.

The showroom presents combinations for:

🛏️ Bedrooms
🛋️ Living rooms
🍽️ Dining areas
🍳 Kitchens
💻 Home offices
🧸 Kids’ rooms
🗄️ Storage spaces
💡 Lighting and interior accessories

One of the most useful things for visitors is seeing how relatively small spaces can be organized efficiently. This can be especially interesting in Korea, where apartment living is very common.

Take photos of layouts you like, check product information, and compare different combinations before heading toward the marketplace and self-service furniture area.


🛒 Affordable Home Shopping

IKEA Giheung carries products ranging from large furniture to small everyday household items.

You can find:

🪑 Chairs and tables
🛏️ Beds and mattresses
🛋️ Sofas
🗄️ Shelves and storage systems
💡 Lamps and lighting
🍳 Kitchen utensils
🍽️ Plates, glasses, and cookware
🧺 Laundry and organization products
🪴 Home decorations
🧸 Children's products

For travelers staying in Korea for several months, international students, newly arrived residents, or people moving into an apartment, IKEA can be particularly useful because you can buy many basic household items in one visit.


🍴 Swedish Restaurant

Shopping at IKEA in Korea often includes a food break.

The Swedish Restaurant serves familiar IKEA-style meals and desserts, giving visitors a chance to experience another side of the Swedish brand while shopping.

The Giheung store currently operates its restaurant separately from the main showroom hours, with the last order normally taken 30 minutes before restaurant closing. (IKEA)

After shopping, you can also visit the Swedish Bistro, Swedish Food Market, or café for snacks, drinks, and packaged Swedish food products. (IKEA)


🧸 Småland | Kids’ Play Area

Families visiting with children should know about Småland, IKEA’s supervised children's play area.

It gives eligible children a place to play while parents explore the store. Operating hours can differ from regular store hours, and registration may close before the actual closing time, so checking the current IKEA Giheung page before visiting is recommended. (IKEA)


🕒 Current Store Hours

According to IKEA Korea, the current regular opening hours for IKEA Giheung are:

Monday–Friday: 11:00 AM–8:00 PM
Saturday–Sunday: 10:00 AM–9:00 PM

Restaurant, café, Småland, pickup and food-market hours may differ. (IKEA)


🅿️ Parking

Parking at IKEA Giheung is currently free.

P1 and P2 parking areas are available on weekdays, while P1, P2 and P3 are available on weekends and public holidays. IKEA also notes a vehicle-height restriction for P1 and P2. (IKEA)

For visitors buying furniture or bulky household products, visiting by car can therefore be particularly convenient.


🚌 Getting There

IKEA Korea currently lists local buses including 51-1, 51-2A and 99 among public transportation options for the Giheung store. One route from Seoul is to take bus 6002 from Gangnam Station toward the Giheung IC area and then walk approximately 15 minutes. (IKEA)

If you are carrying furniture or several shopping bags, however, a car or taxi may be more practical.


💡 DKG TIP

Don’t rush directly toward the checkout.

A good IKEA visit can follow this route:

Showroom → Marketplace → Self-Service Furniture → Checkout → Swedish Food

Before purchasing large furniture, measure your room, doorway and elevator dimensions. Korean apartments can have limited entry space, so checking measurements before buying can save a lot of trouble.

You can also check product stock through IKEA before visiting. (IKEA)


🔗 Connect the Dots

🛋️ Furniture → Korean Apartment → Interior Design → Storage → Daily Life

IKEA Giheung is more than a furniture store. Visiting the showroom can help international visitors understand how furniture, storage solutions and compact-space planning fit into everyday apartment life in Korea.

[Shopping] Costco Yangjae






🛒 [SHOPPING] Costco Yangjae: One of Korea’s Most Famous Costco Stores 🏆

📍 Address: 159 Yangjae-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
📞 Telephone: +82-1899-9900
🗺️ Google Maps: Search “Costco Yangjae” on Google Maps

Costco Yangjae is one of the best-known Costco locations in South Korea and has long attracted attention for its exceptionally high sales volume and intense customer traffic. Located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, it offers visitors an interesting look at Korea’s fast-moving bulk-shopping culture.

🛒 Why Costco Yangjae Is Famous

Costco Yangjae has frequently been described as one of Costco’s highest-performing warehouses globally. Its reputation reflects the remarkable purchasing power concentrated in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area.

Rather than thinking of it as just another supermarket, international visitors can see it as a real-world example of how Korean consumers combine bulk purchasing, imported products, Korean food preferences, and efficient urban shopping.

🛍️ What You Can Find

The warehouse carries a broad range of products, including fresh food, meat, seafood, bakery products, snacks, beverages, household supplies, electronics, clothing, health products, and imported goods.

One particularly interesting experience for travelers is comparing familiar international Costco products with items adapted to Korean tastes. Korean-style prepared foods, local snacks, seasonal gift sets, and large family-size packages can make the store feel noticeably different from Costco locations overseas.

💳 Costco Membership

Costco operates as a membership-based warehouse club. If you already have an eligible Costco membership from another country, check current international membership and payment conditions before shopping in Korea.

Because policies, accepted payment methods, opening hours, holidays, and product availability can change, checking Costco Korea’s latest information before visiting is recommended.

🚗 Local Shopping Tip

Costco Yangjae can become extremely busy, particularly on weekends, holidays, and around major Korean holiday seasons such as Seollal and Chuseok.

If your schedule allows, visiting on a weekday and avoiding peak shopping hours can make the experience much easier.

🇰🇷 Discover Korean Consumer Culture

Why can one warehouse generate such extraordinary sales?

Costco Yangjae offers a useful window into several characteristics of Korean consumer behavior: Seoul’s high population density, strong demand for quality food, enthusiasm for imported products, bulk purchasing among families, and Korea’s highly competitive retail environment.

For travelers interested in everyday Korea rather than only tourist attractions, visiting a Korean hypermarket or warehouse store can be surprisingly educational.
