Prepare for Booking, Access Restrictions and the Final Leg

  • Check metro station exits and market shop opening hours separately for your travel date.

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 Dongdaegu 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.

  1. Allow time to reach the actual pickup location after sightseeing, descending from a hike or disembarking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
