GETTING IN
The Pink Dolphin (10,000 won single, one hour) is the fastest way of reaching Chujado and operates from the Jeju City Ferry Terminal daily, though weather conditions do lead to cancellations. It is advisable to take medicine to prevent sea-sickness as the journey is notoriously rough. Medicine is sold in the pharmacy just to the left of the escalators upon reaching the terminal’s second floor. Alternatively, take the larger and slower ferry (8,000 won, two hours), which will provide a much smoother ride. Please check times at the Jeju City ferry terminal a few days prior to departure as the schedule is often changed.

Jetting off to Tokyo from Jeju, South Korea

With a small number of international flights available from the island, Jeju Life took an opportunity over the 2007 Chuseok holiday to visit Tokyo, Japan, and sketches out the practical considerations of such a trip.

Arriving into Narita Airport after a flight of about two hours will still place you an hour away from the first of the city’s many downtown areas. The fastest way from Terminal One to the centre is to take the Narita Express train service (3,000 Yen or 25,000 Won). Ticket counters are to your left after exiting baggage collection. Be sure to check it is the right service as there are a number of slower ones available.
