I'd like to do this as cheaply as possible, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any little capsule hotels or something similar near the ferry station in Fukuoka.

Or, is it possible to run over to Fukuoka and come back in one day? I'd be leaving Seoul around... 10:30-11 AM on the KTX and I just need to get a tourist visa, so no run to the embassy.

Thanks in advance everyone!

you can do it in one day BUT you have to have a ferry reservation and I'm pretty certain they only leave in the mornings - returning in the afternoon - and taking time to go thru processing, you have to be on an early one and then allow yourself maybe 2 hours interval time before catching the return boat.

if you have to take a train to Pusan it's very difficult to do it w/o spending the previous night there - in fact I've always had to spend the night.

I've done the round trip in one day 2x before, tho, is not too hard. but the boat rarely has food on it so pack a lunch or some munchies. when you arrive, there's not much to be had in the terminal but there is a mart across the street - just ask for directions.

Kangsan Travel can help you with ferry reservations - they often have tkts available at times the Ferry people will tell you they are all booked.

good luck.

I say just go to Busan the night before, get a cheap love motel in Nampo Dong, then head over on the early ferry.

do a google search for the hostel there, is quite easy to get to and not a bad price
