PLAN YOUR JOURNEY
Getting there from Seoul
Seoul Station → KTX to Gangneung Station → local bus or taxi to the Jumunjin filming spot. The railway station and breakwater are separate stops.
- Suggested length
- Full day or overnight
- Getting around
- Train + local transfer
- When to go
- A calm, clear day by the sea
Check train availability before your trip. The breakwater is exposed to the sea: follow barriers and local restrictions, and do not step onto it in rough conditions.
