Busan Station -> JR Ferry

Busan Station photos from where we arrived via the KTX. Really cheap and convenient to get from Seoul to Busan.
I went to the Busan Ferry port about 5minutes by taxi from Busan station...Here I spent ages trying to sort out a ticket from Busan to Fukuoka. What a mission.
No one wanted to really help @_@

What I noticed is that you should book your ticket before 3 days! Online.

On the Japanese site there were seats available. But according to the Korean's they were all full!!!!!!!!!LIES!!!
I eventually found someone that called up the Jap people and saw there was space!
Skipping a head in time the ferry i took was EMPTY! maybe 30% full...




Enough room to fit another 50 people.
Korea runs the Kobee Ferry (info can be found here http://www.visitkorea.or.kr) while Japan runs the JR Bettle Ferry http://www.jrbeetle.co.jp/english/. I took the beetle.
From this port you can also take a boat to Osaka and other Japan cities. Does take a long long time though.




This boat is the Camellia www.koreaferry.co.kr/
Yet the Korean's kept telling me the boat was full @_@
Took the Busan tour bus around the island. Quickest way to check out what is interesting :)
