International Ferry Terminals, the Sea Route into Korea
In Korea, there are four terminals each located in Incheon, Pyeongtaek, Busan, and Donghae for international passengers and ferries. Through these four terminals, ferries that depart from China, Japan, and Russia can enter the country. Depending on the point of departure, the arriving terminal varies so you need to check your route in advance. Every terminal is equipped with basic facilities such as currency exchange counters and tourist information centers.
(* Due to COVID-19, operations of certain passenger ferries and cruises were temporarily suspended so make sure to check the schedule in advance.)
