FUKUOKA TO BUSAN | Taking the Ferry from Japan to Korea

Күн бұрын

My friend wanted to take the ferry from Fukuoka to Busan for her birthday, and we found tickets that were affordable-- only $98 round trip! (You can check prices and availability on their Japanese website: www.jrbeetle.co.jp/internet/fa...) The cheapest tickets I could find were their current discount sale (From October 2016-March 2017). Travel in a group of 4 or more and your tickets are only 5900en round trip each ($60!)
Then we secured a cheap and spacious Airbnb for two in the downtown district of Seomyeon. (Get $30 off your first reservation when you use my referral code--I never stay at hotels anymore, Airbnb are way more comfortable! www.airbnb.com/c/manne112 )

Don't exchange the Japanese Yen to the Korean currency from Japan. Korean banks give one of the best exchange rates in the world on foreign currencies (USD & Yen are the best to bring; the spread is smallest at 1.75% and no fees) Note: Euro,Canadian, Aussie, New Zealand, Singapore dollars get 1.97% to 2%. In Japan, even the best currency USD, the spread average at 2.5% to 3% plus fees in many places. Just bring Yen to Korea and walk into any bank and say in English "I want to exchange money" Only places to avoid is the exchange houses located at airports in Korea. But even they will give you same exchange rate as you'd get in most places in Japan. I heard if you go to Korean banks located in airports though, you pay double 1.75%x2=3.5% spread.

Busan is one of my favorite cities. When I was living in Ulsan, I would go to Busan from time to time. I took the JR Beetle to Fukuoka once from Busan, too. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Once this whole COVID situation is over, I'm going to do a special trip to Japan to make an old dream come true. Since South Korea is on my bucket list, I'm seriously considering taking the ferry over to Busan. Then fly home from Seoul

Possibly it's too late but if you make it to Japan I personally think it's easier + faster + often cheaper to fly Busan/ Fukuoka than take the ferry. The ferry is fun if you like boats but it can't beat a 45 minute flight from 2 convenient airports (I lived in Busan for 3 years and have done both). It's also way easier to get flight tickets than figure out the ferry in Korean (I don't know how hard it is from Japan though)

A Japanese friend of mine told me once that when she visited Seoul, she felt it was very similar to Tokyo, so much so that she felt she hadn't left Japan. That's interesting, because I've always had the feeling that Korea and Japan are distinctly different, while of course sharing some similarities being two Asian countries. But anyway, it is always so great to see you traveling and trying new foods! I feel like many people around me are so tied down by their jobs and studies that they forget about actually living their lives! I admit though that I'm guilty of that too, big time, lol.

I lived in Busan for some time (The pronunciation is closer to "Pusan" than "Busan," but that's a minor point. I loved your video. I recognized so many places in Busan, and that brought an incredibly broad smile to my face. Those places may be a little different to residents than to visitors, but is was so interesting to see how it looks to visitors. I loved your video. I could share many other places depending on what people like to do, but no matter, you did a good job with the parts you shared. I'm glad you liked it. You know, I wanted to take the ferry to Fukuoku, but for various reasons, never actually made that trip. I bet it would be interesting, though.

I loved this mini travel vlog! One of my new favs and looking forward to more (even just Busan). FYI, the washer/dryer combo being situated in the kitchen is also prevalent in Europe. Also, some older Koreans (like my own parents) are fluent and literate in Japanese due to the occupation in the first half of the 20th c. so you might find some conversation in Korea.

Maybe we just went to a different area than normal people go to (we didn't have a lot of time.) Nanpo-dong had christmas lights being set up, the streets were clean, and there were tons of familiar brands and stores, but Seomyeong felt a little more gritty and aged to me--don't get me wrong, it was still cleaner and more spacious than, say, myeongdong.

Hi Micaela. Nice video!. With my wife are going the next february to a quick trip to busan from fukuoka. And i have questions related to transportation and comunicaction in Busan: 1. To travel in subway and bus, there is a one day ticket or card so we dont have to be paying every time we hope on or of a train or bus?. 2. We definitelly are going to need google maps, so... ¿Where can we rent a pocket wifi? ¿How much it costs?. Thanks for your time!

@Ciaela 5 жыл бұрын

Use Naver instead of Google Maps, it’s English friendly and has more accurate information. Also you can use Naver Taxi to call a taxi anywhere without having to speak Korean. Renting a pocket wifi router can be done at the port. We got ours in Fukuoka before we left, after we checked in. It’s not expensive. Don’t remember how much it costs.

+Alexandra Meister you're going from Busan to Fukuoka? It should be easy to find the ferry! If I remember correctly it's just a short walk from the main station?? Busan Station??? From the port to Fukuoka City you just take a bus. It's very simple. Busan and Fukuoka are pretty similar but I feel like Fukuoka is a bit more foreigner friendly. Make sure to bring your passport and check in early before your departure. Your ticket should have instructions on it? But I'm not sure if they'll be printed in English or Korean... I remember Busan and Fukuoka having different check in times...
