Transport, sightseeing and practical information

Subway: choosing Jamsil, Seokchon or Seokchon Gobun Station

Jamsil Station serves Lines 2 and 8, Seokchon Station Lines 8 and 9, and Seokchon Gobun Station Line 9. The Seoul Tourism Organization lists Seokchon Lake as 282m from Jamsil Station Exit 2. You can compare taking Line 9 from Gimpo Airport to Seokchon Station. Check first and last trains, express stops and exit elevators for your travel date.

Directions for the cultural venue Hosu describe going straight from Jamsil Station Exit 3 to the front of Charlotte Theater, or heading toward the lake from Seokchon Station Exit 8 to the left of Samjeondo Monument. These are directions to a specific venue; the same exit is not necessarily convenient for every part of the lake.

Airport bus 6200: Jamsil Station · Lotte World stop

For Incheon Airport-bound buses at stop 24715, “Jamsil Station · Lotte World,” the first departure is 04:15 and the last 20:09. These differ from 04:00 and 19:35 at the Hwangsan route terminus.

Fares are KRW 18,000 for adults and KRW 12,000 for children aged 6–12; intervals are 25–45 minutes. Airport departures run 05:20–23:15 from T1 and 05:00–22:55 from T2.

Night bus N6703 stops at Jamsil LOTTE HOTEL WORLD in both directions. Fares are KRW 18,000 for adults and KRW 12,000 for children, with intervals of 40–120 minutes.

City buses, night buses and transport fares

Venue access guides list 302, 303, 320, 2311 and 2412 at “Jamsil Station · Lotte World Mall,” and 301, 341, 360, 362, 3217, 3313, 3314, 3315, 3317, 3411, 3414 and 4319 at “Jamsil Station · Lotte World.” Another cultural venue guide also lists 333 at Seoho Intersection and N13 and N31 in Jamsil.

Check Seoul City Tour and hotel buses separately

As checked on 6 November 2026, Visit Seoul lists the Hangang–Jamsil city-tour course as temporarily suspended, with no resumption planned for the time being. Do not plan it as a bus you can board in Jamsil. Check the current route and departure point before choosing another city tour.

LOTTE HOTEL WORLD’s guidance refers to a parking shuttle, not a free airport shuttle. When parking area H is full, it runs between parking areas A, D and M and basement level 3 of the hotel. Listed operating hours are 10:00–23:00; inquiries: 02-411-5577.

See the accommodation entry above for Delight Hotel’s pickup conditions. Do not assume hotel buses are airport services or late-night rides home after performances.

Plan your Seokchon Lake & Jamsil sightseeing around your stay

If lake walks are your priority, first compare whether your accommodation is on the East Lake or West Lake side. Group nearby stops such as Lotte World and LOTTE HOTEL by the West Lake, Lotte World Tower, Seoul Sky and shopping facilities north of the East Lake, and meals along Songridan-gil. You do not have to visit everything in one outing.

Lotte World Adventure, Seoul Sky, the aquarium, folk museum and ice rink may each have different opening hours and tickets. They are not automatically included in accommodation; check official guidance and ticket conditions for your visit date. Continue with the existing Jamsil one-day itinerary for individual attraction guides and official links.

Information checked: 2026-11-04

Adjust your route for accessibility and weather

The Korea Tourism Organization lists Seokchon Lake as 560m from Seokchon Gobun Station, Line 9, Exit 2. Its guide describes step-free access to the lakeside walking paths, but notes some stone, woodland and dirt paths and difficulty accessing the octagonal pavilion. A barrier-free route around the entire lake is not guaranteed for every visitor.

Accessible toilets are listed near the ramp by the West Lake management office parking lot and near J Restaurant at the East Lake. Names and facility conditions may change, so check these before visiting along with access exits, slopes and elevators. The lake’s listed round-the-clock, year-round access is separate from nearby facilities’ opening hours.

In rain or cold weather, compare indoor sightseeing and shopping alternatives. LOTTE HOTEL’s official FAQ describes an underground connection between the hotel, Lotte Mall and the department store. Not every part of a route starting at the lake is sheltered from rain.

Luggage storage before and after check-in

Refer to Seoul Metro Engineering’s T-Locker information. The exact locations, availability, sizes, fees and collection hours of lockers at Jamsil Station could not be verified in this check, so confirm on site or with the operator.

The operator restricts valuables, perishable food, hazardous goods, items weighing 30kg or more, and oversized items. The usual storage period is within 5 days. Call center hours differ from locker access hours. Check collection times and size limits before storing luggage.

Availability, fees and responsibility for luggage stored before check-in or after checkout vary by accommodation. Ask the hotel or residential property directly rather than assuming storage is included.

Final checks before booking

  • Check that the property name, branch and address on the booking screen match this guide. Take particular care with similar branch names such as Bangi 1, Bangi 2 and Jamsilsaenae.
  • For motels and small accommodation properties, check whether the booking is for hourly use or an overnight stay, plus check-in and checkout times, smoking policy, windows, parking and cancellation terms. Do not infer a legal hotel rating from a seller’s motel category or the property name alone.
  • Check the final payable amount including taxes, extra guests, breakfast, parking and cleaning fees, whether the booking is nonrefundable, and the local time of the free-cancellation deadline. Prices, star ratings and discount percentages are not displayed as fixed values.
  • Ask the property about luggage storage, elevators and stairs, wheelchair access, bathroom layout, family and minor guest conditions, and pet conditions for the specific room.
  • Lake views, pools, lounge access, breakfast and attraction tickets are not automatically included with every room. Check the inclusions for the room you book.
  • For residential stays, check the exact address, floor, entry method and how to contact the host. These are apartment-style or residential listings on Trip.com; this does not mean they are Airbnb listings.
