When Departing from Seoul
Choose your transport hub first: Gokseong Station
Yongsan Station → look up trains stopping at Gokseong Station
First plan how to get from your accommodation to the actual departure station or terminal. For trains, check the departure and arrival stations and whether transfers are needed. For buses, choose the exact terminal as well as the destination city. Seoul, Yongsan, Cheongnyangni and Suseo are different stations.

For large mountains, parks and areas, this guide uses the main access point specified in the information. If you choose a different trail, route or beach, your starting point may also change.

Travel from the current Gokseong Station, where passenger trains stop, to the old Gokseong Station entrance within the tourist complex. A sightseeing steam train ticket is separate from your train ticket from Seoul.
Map links search for locations by name. They are not directions checked for exact entrance coordinates or actual services on your travel date. Enter your departure point, destination and chosen transport in a map app to check the route again.
Prepare for Booking, Access Restrictions and the Final Leg
- If planning to use a steam train or rail bike session, first check the boarding location and return session after entry.
For sections using taxis or booked vehicles, discuss round-trip availability, pickup locations and charges such as waiting fees and tolls with the provider before departure. A vehicle is not guaranteed to be immediately available outside railway stations or at remote attractions. If you choose local buses, check the exact stops, direction and return services too.
Plan Your Return to Seoul First
First decide how to return from your last attraction to Gokseong Station. If you leave through a different gate, port or trail from the one you entered, check again whether you can use the same vehicle pickup point.
- Allow time to reach the actual pickup location after sightseeing, descending from a hike or disembarking.
- Make separate arrangements for local buses or booked vehicles and your long-distance return journey. If tickets are sold out, compare other services or an overnight stay.
- Check whether subway or bus connections to your accommodation will still be running after you arrive in Seoul.
When your day includes a boat trip, hike or evening visit, leave a buffer before plans that are difficult to change, such as an international flight the next day.
