Just bumping the thread. I've been there before, but gun-to-head, I don't know how to get back there. Sorry.

Without street names it's really hard to give directions in Korea. It's very close to Daegu EXCO. Have a Korean friend/co-teacher look it up on Daum maps for you. It's in North Daegu, east of Kyungpook University.

Yeah, it's not that easy to find tbh. If you're coming from Pohang, then just get a cab from the bus terminal. I can't remember the name of the bus station, but I stopped there when I came back from Pohang last year. I can't remember exactly how far Costco is from that bus terminal, but it's on that side of the city. Basically, Costco is out toward the airport if that helps. Alternatively, if you can get to Dong Daegu train station, it's about a 4000W cab ride to Costco.

If exiting off the highway, you need to look for Buk-Gu, in Daegu (North District). The signs coming off the highway will also direct to EXCO Daegu, which as someone mentioned, is right around the corner.

The nearest main intersection to Costco is Bokhyun Oguhri. "Oguhri" because it is a 5-way intersection.

If you are at the intersection, you need to choose the road that travels down the left side of Lotte Super. It's a bright yellow and green building, so you can't miss it.

Once on that road, Costco will be a good 2-3km down, on the left.

The area is easy to find, but finding Costco in it can be tricky.

It may help you to see it in a satellite map like Google Earth (better than me trying to explain the turns anyway).

If you use one the location is
35* 54' 22 N / 120* 37' 05 E

Good luck.

Ditto with BS Doc.

Or catch one of the many buses near there (503, 305, for example).

I am a little late but if you are coming from Pohang, take the freeway and get off at the North Daegu exit, go through the toolbooth and stay to the left, i believe , you have to go over the hill not the bridge, there is a junction.

then follow the signs that point the way to exco and the distribution center. you will go down the hill turn right cross a different bridge, go straight through the first traffic light and take a left at the second one. follow that road past exco till you meet another main road, your will deadend i believe and turn right.

2 blocks and costco is on your right.

If you all are coming by train to Dong-Daegu station, save yourself a few won by taking bus #937. You'll run right past my apartment.
