Tourists are often afraid of long distance and strange foreign countries, so they should choose day tours to Nami Island. However, you only need to find out the route and transportation a bit, it is not difficult to go to this beautiful island by yourself. Choose to move yourself, you will have more "virtual life" on the island, instead of having to watch out for the tour on time.

Guests can buy tickets online early through the Korail Korea website to select seats or buy tickets at the counter or vending machine (in English) at Cheongnyangni Station.
