Since it is both stationery and bookstore, you can freely either read or buy the books that are of your interest. Besides that, you can find gadgets, home supplies and home decoration items; in some of them, you can even buy high quality glasses and fashion accessories!
Personally, it’s one of my favorite stationery stores in South Korea, and the one I recommend the most. Just before going in, you can immediately realize how popular it is by the quantity of people you will probably see getting their shopping baskets filled up.
Just make sure to have your membership card ready, because in this store, you will be fascinated by so many cute products that you might not even think about money anymore!
Going for the first time, can be a little bit confusing because of the name. The stationery store is called Hottracks (핫트랙스), but it is actually inside of Kyobo Bookstore, therefore, you will find this place under the name of Kyobo (교보문고). According to your location, you just need to copy-paste the korean name in order to find it through the map of your choice.
If your weakness are cute diaries, then this store is definitely for you!
Of course, they do not only sell diaries. The biggest ARTBOX stores have up to three floors, therefore, you can find from cute stationery items, to home supplies.
Besides, you can find skin care products, hair accessories and supplies, home and office supplies, toys, and a variety of eye-catching products awaiting to be bought by you. They also have different types of machines, such as photo printers and candy machines. I have even seen fortune-telling machines before!
What makes it different from other stationery stores in South Korea, is that you can find seasonal items also! So, if you’re worried about not having the perfect gift for a specific day, you should check out this store.
I took these pictures during the famous Peppero day (11.11). Aside from selling chocolates, postcards and plushies to give to your loved ones, they also sold DIY products so you can make your own chocolates. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?
If you are the type of person that likes taking tons of pictures, you will like the bigger ARTBOX stores instead, just like the one in Myeongdong; since they have photo zones where you can get a good selfie with their representative characters.
This is a must-visit place in case you want to get some official korean souvenirs when coming as a tourist. It might not be the cheapest ones, however, the quality is pretty good.
I have found some of the prettiest planners here. Just look at the pictures! Everything is so shiny and colorful that is impossible to not take at least one with you.
