Gimje has one main passenger station: Gimje Station. It is located on the Honam Line and handles Korail KTX, ITX-Saemaeul, and Mugunghwa services depending on the timetable.

Can I buy Gimje train tickets at the last minute?

Last-minute Gimje tickets may be available on Mugunghwa and some ITX-Saemaeul services, but KTX seats can sell out on peak departures. Rail Monsters accepts Gimje train bookings 6 to 12 months ahead of travel, which is useful for Chuseok, Seollal, school holidays, and Sunday returns. Book earlier if you need a specific KTX departure or a reserved seat.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Gimje?
