Opened in the 1950s as a five-day market, Wonju Jungang Market is now a permanently operated market. With the construction of the Yeongdong Expressway, the market transitioned from a wholesale focus to individual purchasers. The market naturally developed a food street with many restaurants opening up in the vicinity of each other.

The market was losing business with the increase in supermarkets in the area and the ease of internet shopping. To combat this, the market opened an art market in 2013 and was designated as a cultural market in 2015. The second floor of the market houses the Maze Art Market, with twisting pathways lined with small design shops and restaurants. The flea market, held during the second weekend of every month, is not to be missed.

Wonju Jungang Market was selected as a cultural tourism market in 2015 and, as a result, a marketplace of culture and art opened on the second floor of Jungang Market. The market experienced a recession for various reasons including a fire in 1992, the IMF crisis, the opening of freeways, and the establishment of large-scale indoor markets but, today, it continues to develop and evolve thanks to diverse cultures and art. Wonju Maze Art Market has invited young entrepreneurs to operate a variety of workshops on handicrafts, home cooking, and ceramic arts. On the second Saturday and Sunday of every month, the market hosts varying performances by young artists, a flea market, events for citizens, and experience programs for children. Wonju Maze Art Market is becoming more than just a place where goods are bought and sold but, instead, transforming itself into a cultural complex.

Gangwongamyeong Provincial Office, dating back to the Joseon era, is celebrated for its stunning night views. Originally serving as the office for the provincial governor of Gangwon-do during the Joseon period, it functioned in this capacity for 500 years. Presently, only a few structures, including the Seonhwadang Hall, still stand. The site underwent restoration and was opened to the public in 2018.
