Kyongju is located about 360 Km southeast of Seoul, the capital city of Korea. You can get to Kyongju via airplane, train or bus. The easiest way is by airplane. There are four nearby airports (Ulsan, Pohang, Taegu and Pusan). Both Korean airline carriers (Korean Airlines and Asiana Airlines) provide services to these cities from Seoul. The one I recommend is to arrive at Ulsan, which is located about 30 minutes by taxi from TEMF Hotel in Pomun Tourist Complex of Kyongju.

If you are travelling from Japan, you can come to Seoul and transfer a flight to Ulsan. Alternatively, you can come to Pusan and then travel to Kyongju (see below for more details).

If you are travelling from countries other than Japan, you can come to Seoul and then transfer a flight to Ulsan.

In case flights to Ulsan get cancelled, you can try flights to Pohang, which is located about 50 minute taxi ride to the TEMF Hotel in Kyongju.

If flights from Seoul to Ulsan and Pohang get cancelled, you can try flights to Taegu, which is located about 1 hour taxi ride the TEMF Hotel in Kyongju. If you are taking a taxi from the airport or from Kyongju downtown, please show the driver this page. The top part of this page (GIF image) contains the name of TEMF Hotel in Korean. Then even the non-English speaking taxi drivers should be able to drive you to the hotel easily.

There is an airport limousine bus to Kyongju downtown. It runs to Kyongju downtown every 2 hours from the airport. The limousine bus costs about 4,500 Won(450 Yen or $4 US). If you take this bus and arrive at the Kyongju bus terminal, take a taxi from there to the TEMF Hotel (the cost should be less than 10,000 Won). The best thing to do is to take a taxi from the airport. It will take 30-40 minutes to the TEMF Hotel. It should cost approximately 30,000 Won (3,000 Yen or $25 US).
