I'll be coming back from the US with some heavy bags and will need to pick up the dogs and all their stuff before proceeding to Gangwon-do. Is it possible to take the suitcases to a major bus terminal, leave them there, and then go get the dogs, and then go back to that bus terminal and then go home? (thinking of Express Bus Terminal or Dong Seoul Terminal) I'm only one person but will end up with six bags (two very large and very heavy and two unwieldy) at the end of it all and am trying to figure out how to do this without revealing my hidden superhero powers. Wink

Yes. Depending on the size, W500, W1,000 or W2,000 a day or part thereof (starting at 12 midnight.)

I've been to Dong Seoul quite a few times and never seen a baggage check.
Where is it?

I have never left bags in a Seoul bus terminal. I have left them at Yongsan train station, Seoul Station, Daegu train station (next to the bus terminal,) and Gwangju bus terminal.

They're at practically every major train/bus station, just look for the blue doors...there are signs in english, so they're really easy to use.

Are you talking about lockers? I don't think they would be big enough
for the large bags one might bring back from a trip home to the US.

I think Wondering is looking for luggage check where you give your
bags to a person and they put them on a shelf in a storage room.

I suppose if it came to that, I could unpack my bags right there and cram stuff into lockers until they are full and then move on to the next one until all my stuff is stored away. Would still be better than trying to drag it with me.

Send your luggage by taekbae from the airport to your house before you head into Seoul.
