Travel to Jeonju

1. Airport Limousine bus directyly from ICN to Jeonju express bus terminal  https://www.airport.kr/ap/en/tpt/busRouteList.do (Jeonju belongs to Jeolla province.)

2. KTX bullet train from Yongsan station to Jeonju station

    Step i) Take an airport train directly to Seoul station (https://www.airportrailroad.com/co/main.do)
                    If you are lucky, you can catch a train directly from Seoul station to Jeonju station. But there are not many direct trains.
    Step ii) Move to Yongsan station by subway line number 1 (dark blue line) which is just 2 stops south from Seoul station.
                    When you step down to the subway platform, take any trains arriving on your right.
    Step iii) Take KTX bullet train which takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Yongsan.
                      Please book your train on https://www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizbfForeign_pr16100.do?gubun=1 before your arrival.
                      Sometimes (in particular during the weekends), it is extremely challenging to book a seat.
