Directions to Chuncheon
Chuncheon is easily accessible by either train or bus. The best train station is South Chuncheon (Nam Chuncheon), but if you end up at Chuncheon Station the trip from there to campus will only be a bit longer.
Directions to the Campus
From either the bus terminal or South Chuncheon station, a taxi to campus will cost about 5,000 won. Ask for강원대학교/ Gangwon Tae-hak-kyo, then교육4번/ Kyo-yuk Sa-beon. The driver may not know the exact building, so you may have to show them the map.
