The neighborhood shop appears near the Kim family’s home as Ki-woo’s tutoring opportunity sets the story in motion.
Check the storefront from the street; it is not a movie-set attraction.

Songijeong-ro stairs
손기정로 계단 · 서울 마포구 손기정로6길 3Ki-jung carries the peach
Ki-jung climbs these stairs with the peach used in the family’s plan to secure another job.
The nearby stairs are part of a residential lane. Keep doorways clear.
Before you set out
Plan this outing
This is the compact Parasite walk: a shop and the nearby peach-scene staircase in one residential area. Keep it to one or two hours, including navigation and a short break. The Park mansion is not waiting at the top of the steps. The timings below are editorial allowances rather than a claim that the two locations take hours to walk between.
Save both street addresses
Set the first destination to 32 Songijeong-ro in Mapo-gu, the Doijissal Supermarket address published by KTO. Save 3 Songijeong-ro 6-gil for the staircase as well. Use the exact pins to choose your transit approach; a general search for the movie can mix this walk with distant Seoul locations.
A suggested schedule
Allow extra time for traffic, queues and photo breaks. These are planning estimates, not live journey times.
- First 20–30 minutes · The supermarket exterior
Find a public viewpoint toward the shop where the tutoring opportunity begins. Leave deliveries and customer access clear. A quick photograph is enough if the store is busy, and a changed sign does not justify going behind the counter or into private space.
- Next 20–30 minutes · The peach staircase
Continue to the nearby Songijeong-ro 6-gil steps and compare the uphill perspective. Let residents pass before stopping. The point of the pairing is the short transition between ordinary streets and the film's social climb, not finding a hidden mansion entrance.
- Remaining 20–60 minutes · Return and an optional break
Retrace a public route toward your chosen transit connection. Use spare time for refreshments or photographs from a different permitted street angle. Save the rain-scene neighborhoods for a separate outing unless you have explicitly allowed a cross-city transfer.
What to budget for
Plan for local transport and any voluntary shop or café purchase. There is no guided-tour booking included in this route. The public street viewpoints do not include entry to the fictional homes; keep any optional food stop separate from the two filming locations.
Opening and access
The staircase is the main physical constraint. A visitor who cannot use steps can view the lower approach, but that is a shortened version of the route. Shop opening is not required for an exterior look, and the map does not grant access to adjoining homes.
If the weather changes
Visit in dry daylight so the steps and residential traffic are easy to see. Avoid recreating the peach scene on wet stairs. On a crowded day, take a brief photograph and move your break to an open business rather than occupying the narrow lane.
