Sea Train Tour

The coastal cities of Gangneung, Donghae, and Samcheok in Gangwon-do offer a chance to ride the wonderful ocean-facing Sea Train, which runs along the coastline of the East Sea. The Sea Train presents unobstructed views as its windows are larger than those in standard trains. The region's well-known places like Jeongdongjin Beach, Mukho Port, and Samcheok Beach have a distinct impression when viewed from the train. The following column focuses on Jeongdongjin and Donghae, which are popular travel destinations for their gorgeous sunrise and picturesque coastal village scenes. Hop on the Sea Train to be captivated by the breathtaking ocean scenery!

The Sea Train is composed of four cars: two first-class cars, one economy car, and one family car. The first and the second are first-class cars equipped with couple seats and all seats are window-facing. The third car has table seats designed for families, as well as regular train seats, and a cafeteria. The last car is mainly for accommodating group travelers with seats for two or three people. The train ride takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes for a one-way trip and 3 hours for a round trip.
In addition to the refreshing ocean views through the wide windows, Sea Train offers much more. The first and second cars include Proposal Rooms for couples where they can enjoy a glass of wine during their romantic ride along the ocean shore. Staffs will be able to provide assistance in taking photos for free upon request. The third car is equipped with Sea Train Café, where passengers can purchase a cup of coffee, light snacks, and even local products from the eastern coast region. The interior of the train is decorated in an undersea motif with images of starfish, shellfish, and a trick-art shark, provding a perfect backdrop for memorable photos.
