How this map gets made
Digging Route brings together vintage and select shop information and visitor experiences to help you choose shops that fit your style. We distinguish public information from visitor reviews and show sources and verification dates.
What the badges mean
- Public sourcesCross-checked against public sources — official sites, Instagram, press coverage. Not yet verified in person.
- ✓ Verified in personVisited in person, with location, trading status and stock confirmed. The month of that visit is shown.
- ✓ Verified via a reportReported by a visitor, reviewed by us, and applied.
- ✕ Confirmed closedShops confirmed closed or moved are marked rather than deleted, with nearby alternatives suggested.
Principles
- We write our own descriptions. Neighborhood photos are used with permission to reuse, with links to their original sources and license terms.
- Maps and opening hours come from Google Maps. Please check again before you set out.
- Where a link is an affiliate link, we label it as advertising.
- Korean is the source language. The Japanese, English and Chinese versions are machine translations that have been edited by hand, so nuance may differ.
- Spotted something wrong? Tell us — we check it, apply the fix and update the verification status. Submit
