Prices are moderate. The site is a convenient first stop when you are heading to Seongsu, and it is fine in the rain because walkways are covered. Some shops are closed on certain days, and hours and prices may change.
Konkuk University Station (건대입구역), Lines 2 and 7, Exit 6, leads to the entrance.
