Pohang Train Travel FAQ and Tips

Trains depart from Pohang Station and join the Gyeongbu high-speed corridor through the Dongdaegu area. SRT services also connect Pohang with Suseo Station in southern Seoul on selected departures.

How do I buy train tickets to and from Pohang?

Do high-speed trains serve Pohang?

Yes. Pohang is served by KTX trains operated by Korail and SRT trains operated by SR. These services use Pohang Station and connect the city to the high-speed network through the Donghae Line and Gyeongbu corridor. Conventional Mugunghwa and other intercity services also serve Pohang for regional travel, with more intermediate stops than the high-speed trains.

What are the main train stations in Pohang?

Pohang Station is the city's main passenger railway station and the primary rail terminal for both high-speed and regional services. Korail KTX trains, SR SRT trains, and conventional regional services use Pohang Station for departures and arrivals. There is no separate central long-distance rail terminal in Pohang, so most travelers use Pohang Station for all intercity train planning.

Is there an airport rail connection from Pohang?

Pohang does not have a dedicated airport rail link. Travelers using Pohang Gyeongju Airport normally transfer between Pohang Station and the airport by road transport. For long-distance rail access to air travel, many passengers use KTX or SRT from Pohang Station toward Seoul area stations, where onward airport connections are made through the wider national rail network.

Can I buy Pohang train tickets at the last minute?

Last-minute Pohang train tickets may be available on ordinary weekdays, especially on regional services. KTX and SRT seats from Pohang can sell out for Chuseok, Seollal, weekends, and holiday returns, leaving fewer departure choices. Rail Monsters accepts Pohang train bookings 6 to 12 months ahead of travel, so early booking is recommended for peak Korean travel periods.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Pohang?

Seat reservations are required on KTX and SRT services from Pohang because these are long-distance high-speed trains with assigned seats. Conventional Mugunghwa and intercity services may offer reserved seating depending on the train and route. Book early for Friday evenings, Sunday returns, Chuseok, and Seollal, when Pohang services to the Seoul area and Daegu corridor can sell out.

What are the main train connections to and from Pohang?

Pohang connects with Seoul Station in around 2h20m to 2h40m by KTX and Suseo in roughly 2h20m to 2h35m by SRT on selected services. Dongdaegu is typically around 35m to 45m by KTX.
