[2025 Gangneung-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Jeongdongjin Railbike (Updated Jul)

#summervacay If you're in Gangneung and looking for a unique coastal excursion, I'd tell you right away that a trip to Jeongdongjin is definitely a great choice! Getting There: Gangneung ➡️ Jeongdongjin From Gangneung to Jeongdongjin, the most convenient way I found was by KTX. Ticket Tip: Even though I couldn't buy tickets for this specific route in advance via the KTX app or platforms like Trip.com, I just went directly to Gangneung Station and bought them very easily. Plus, there were usually plenty of empty seats on the train, so I didn't have to worry about availability. Morning Departures: The early morning trains I saw leaving were at: 6:27 AM, 7:45 AM, 8:34 AM, 10:14 AM, 11:45 AM, 2:10 PM. Travel Time: It only took me 15 minutes – super fast! Jeongdongjin Station (정동진역) Coastal Station: This little station isn't big, but the moment I stepped out and saw the clear blue sea right in front of me, my mind just opened up. Station Highlights: On the platform, there were a few picturesque pine trees, some statues, and a model rail bike – I instantly knew it was iconic for Jeongdongjin, and it was perfect for some quick photos. Rail Bike (정동진 레일바이크) Ticket Office: The ticket office was conveniently located right next to Jeongdongjin Station. Prices: I saw the two-seater was 25,000 KRW, and a four-seater was 35,000 KRW. Operating Hours: They run hourly from 8:45 AM to 4:45 PM (except for the 11:45 AM slot). My Experience: I hopped on one of the bikes, and we just rode along the fixed track right by the sea. The bikes can't leave the rails, of course, but it was such a fun way to experience the coastal scenery! Time Museum (정동진 시간박물관) Location: From the road signs, it looked like the Time Museum was just over 600 meters from Jeongdongjin Station. Important Note: When I visited, the coastal road was unfortunately closed for construction, which meant I had to take a detour. So, I'd definitely recommend checking the road conditions in advance to avoid any unexpected delays. Jeongdongjin, with its unique geographical charm and variety of coastal activities, was an excellent day trip destination from Gangneung for me! #Gangneung #Jeongdongjin #KoreaTravel #DayTrip #JeongdongjinStation

Jeongdongjin Station, which became famous after the drama ‘Sandglass’ aired At the time, I was living in the countryside, so I remembered myself in my 20s, renting CDs from a rental store every week and then hastily packing up and going on a trip to the East Sea. Now that I’m in my 50s, I regret those days so much and they were such precious moments.. #Donghae Trip#Gangneung Trip#Jeongdongjin Station#Jeongdongjin Rail Bike
