All Aboard! Discover Koreaโ€™s Rail History and Hidden Gems

Planes, trains, buses, cars, subways...

What's your preferred mode of transportation when traveling?

South Korea, with an area of 100,266 kmยฒ, ranks 109th in the world by size, just behind Guatemala (108,889 kmยฒ) and Iceland (103,000 kmยฒ).

This means you can reach most parts of the country by train within a day!

To celebrate Korea's Railway Day on June 28, let's explore everything about K-Rail from A to Z!

History of Korean Railways

Railway Day in Korea commemorates the significance of railways as a primary mode of transportation and pays tribute to railway workers.

It originates from the establishment of Korea's first railway bureau on June 28, 1894 (lunar calendar).

๐Ÿ“Œ Rebuilding Railways After Liberation

Construction of Gyeongseong (in Japanese, Keijo) Station in 1924, which is now the old Seoul Station building.

Korea's first railway, the Gyeongin Line (now part of Seoul Subway Line 1), opened on September 18, 1899, during the Empire of Korea.

Many main lines were built during the Japanese colonial period for military and political purposes. After liberation in 1945 and the Korean War, efforts were made to rebuild the railway network across the war-torn territory.

Today, Korean railways are operated by Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), a public corporation.

You can easily and comfortably visit all regions of Korea.


๐Ÿ“Œ The Main Transportation for Hometown Visits During Seollal and Chuseok

As the Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) approach, KORAIL opens "holiday train ticket" reservations.

This year, over 40,000 people waited online to book Seollal train tickets, showcasing the fierce competition.

To understand this situation, you need to know about the concentration of population in Korea's capital region (Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon).

While the capital region covers only 11.6% of Korea's land area, it accounts for 50.7% of the total population.

Moreover, the region's Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) is 1,229 trillion won, representing 52.8% of the national total.

This economic concentration leads to employment market disparities, forcing young people from other regions to move to the capital area for better opportunities.

In April 2025, the Korea Employment Information Service reported over 190,000 new job openings in the capital region alone, half of the national total. In contrast, major cities in the other areas had less than 20,000 each.

That's why, during every major holiday, many people return to their hometowns.

You'll easily spot travelers with lots of luggage at bus terminals, train stations, and airports during these times.

If you're planning to travel to Korea's regional areas, we recommend avoiding significant holiday periods!


๐Ÿ“Œ The Difference Between KTX, ITX, and Mugunghwa

Have you ever wondered what the different train names mean when booking your tickets?

There are mainly three types of trains currently in operation. Their speed ranking is KTX > ITX > Mugunghwa, with prices following the same order. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ธ

  • KTX
    KTX (Korea Train eXpress) is a high-speed rail system launched in 2004. It can take you from Seoul in the north to Busan in the south in just 2 hours and 30 minutes. KTX doesn't stop at every station but serves major cities in each region, including Gangneung and Donghae in the east, Yeosu and Busan in the south, and Mokpo and Iksan in the west.

  • ITX
    ITX stands for Intercity Train eXpress. ITX-Saemaeul and ITX-MAUM were introduced to replace older trains from the 2000s and now operate nationwide. ITX-Cheongchun runs between Yongsan Station in Seoul and Chuncheon Station in Gangwon-do. "Cheongchun" refers to springtime, when new buds sprout, and also signifies the youthful period of late teens to twenties. ๐ŸŒฑ

  • Mugunghwaย (๋ฌด๊ถํ™”)
    Mugunghwa, one of the passenger trains, was established in 1977. It's a representative Korean train with red, blue, and white colors. The name of the train, Mugunghwa, means "a flower that blooms eternally and never fades." It's a flower greatly loved by Koreans, even appearing in the national anthem. The Mugunghwa train was a great means of transportation for Koreans in the 2000s. Being an older vehicle, it's somewhat slow. Due to aging, all Mugunghwa trains are set to be retired in the latter half of September 2028!


Simple Guide to Using the Railway!


Want to purchase Korean train tickets? It's possible both online and offline. (Credit cards accepted)

Online options are available in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese.

Once you've purchased a ticket, find your designated train and seat (standing tickets are also available!). If a conductor asks to see your ticket, please show it.

๐Ÿ“ŒTickets open one month before the desired departure date

Have you confirmed your travel date? If so, you can purchase tickets from 7:00 a.m. one month before your desired departure date until 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

If you wish to request a refund, you can do so through the reissue/refund menu on the Korail website until the train's departure time is displayed on the ticket. If you cancel up to 3 hours before departure, no refund fee will be charged.


๐Ÿ“ŒExploring various places? Consider the Korail Pass

If you plan to travel to various regions, consider the Korail Pass.

This pass is provided to foreign nationals. You can choose and purchase a pass for use for 2 to 5 days.

Depending on how you use it, purchasing this pass may be a more economical choice than buying individual train tickets.


Great Korean Travel Destinations by Rail

From each region's central train station, you can easily travel throughout South Korea.

Even to far-off places, you can arrive within 3 hours by KTX.

Here are a few popular travel destinations among Koreans!


๐Ÿ“Œ'Gangneung': Enjoy the Blue Sea and Coffee Together


In summer, we head to the beaches.

Korea, surrounded by sea on three sides, offers diverse coastal views.

The East Sea, in particular, boasts numerous beaches with deep waters and excellent waves.

From Gangneung train station, a 10-minute taxi ride takes you to 'Anmok haebyeon Beach.'

This beach features a 'Coffee Street,' with a fascinating story of how Gangneung became famous for coffee.

Twenty years ago, this Beach was a date spot lined with coffee vending machines. Couples enjoyed drives along the beach road, stopping here to enjoy instant coffee from vending machines while viewing the blue sea.

Perhaps for this reason, many first-generation Korean baristas later settled here. As specialty drip coffee shops increased, it has now become Korea's largest 'Ocean View Coffee Street.'

In Korea's hot and humid summer, how about dipping your feet in the blue sea while sipping an iced Americano, the soul drink of Koreans? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ


๐Ÿ“Œ'Daejeon': From a 'Boring City' to an 'Fun City'

Do you know the city of 'Daejeon' located in Chungcheong-do?

Daejeon, one of the largest cities in Chungcheong-do, was once known as a 'no-jaem(๋…ธ์žผ, boring) city' due to its lack of distinct tourist attractions and notable sights.

However, Daejeon is becoming a popular destination, with the proportion of visitors increasing by 1.0% compared to 2023! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Located near the center of South Korea, Daejeon is quickly accessible from anywhere.

Also, a bakery brand called 'Sungsimdang' is very famous here. It started as a small steamed bun shop in front of Daejeon Station in 1956.

Now a huge bakery, it has become even more popular due to its policy of not opening chain stores outside Daejeon.

Their signature items include pollock roe baguette, fried soboro, Bomun Mountain Echo (a pastry), and seasonal strawberry siru (a cake).

There's plenty to enjoy.

Visitors to Daejeon hike Mt. Bomun, a representative mountain, and watch professional baseball games of the Hanwha Eagles team based in this region.

You can also meet cute mascots. The 'Kkumsseu Family' is a new interpretation of 'Kkumdori,' the mascot of the 1993 Daejeon Expo. Daejeon City is showcasing an exhibition featuring these characters until July.


๐Ÿ“Œ'Yeosu': See the Beautiful Sunrise at Hyangiram

www.hyangiram.or.kr

Life isn't always easy. Do you need healing for your body and mind?

If so, visiting 'Hyangiram' in Yeosu might be a great choice.

In Yeosu, a southern city in Korea, Hyangiram overlooks the South Sea and is a temple where monks stay during their practice.

'Hyangiram' means a hermitage facing the sun. This modest place, situated on a cliff, offers excellent views of the sunrise and sunset, directly facing the sea.

It's one of Korea's famous sunrise spots. On New Year's, many people climb to Hyangiram carrying their wishes.

Do you have something you wish for? Are you seeking peace of mind?

If so, try climbing up here and greeting the rising and setting sun. You might find that peace and tranquility have quietly settled in your heart.

How about traveling all around South Korea by rail this summer? ๐Ÿงณ
