About

It is a special place listed in the Guinness World Records as the train station closest to the sea in the world. When you get off at the platform, the wide white sand beach and the blue Donghae sea unfold right before your eyes, creating a romantic scenery. In particular, it grew into a national attraction as it became known as a filming location for the popular drama 'The Hourglass', and it is crowded with people every New Year to see the magnificent sunrise.

Make unforgettable memories in a picturesque landscape where train tracks, pine trees, and the sea blend together.
