Snow/ White strawberry in Seoul?
Would Lott… As the title states, does anyone know where to buy snow/ white strawberries in Seoul? I've seen stores selling red ones but not the white ones that i've seen being imported into Singapore.
Would Lotte (at Seoul Station) have it? Or if anyone can recommend some good fruit/ grocery stores, that would be great as well!
fwiw the white strawberries are basically a japanese import thing here, not really grown locally in korea. so theyre super seasonal and marked up like crazy. if you're near the han river, try the food hall at hyundai department store in yeouido, theyve got a fancy fruit corner that sometimes stocks them in feb-march. ive also seen them at the gangnam express bus terminal underground shops, the fruit stalls there are a bit cheaper than department stores but you gotta ask around
honestly your best bet is to check out the department store basements, they usually have the premium fruit sections. lotte seoul station might have them but i'd try the lotte in myeongdong or the shinsegae in gangnam first, they tend to stock more specialty stuff
if you're near apgujeong, galleria department store has a really nice fruit shop on the lower level. i've seen white strawberries there before but they're seasonal and pretty expensive, like 50-60k won for a small box. also check out the fruit stands in garosu-gil, some of the fancy cafes there source them
honestly the white strawberries are pretty rare even here, theyre mostly a luxury gift item. you wont find them at normal grocery stores or even most lotte marts. your best bet is the fruit section at the shinsegae department store in gangnam, they have a dedicated premium fruit counter thats pretty well known. i saw them there last month for around 70,000 won for a box of like 12. also check the online marketplaces like coupang or market kurly, they sometimes have them delivered but the prices are brutal
Seoul Airport to City Center (2026)
The AREX Express is the fastest way from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station, taking 43 minutes nonstop. Tickets cost 9,500 won for adults, and you can buy them at the airport k… 🚆 AREX Express Train
The AREX Express is the fastest way from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station, taking 43 minutes nonstop. Tickets cost 9,500 won for adults, and you can buy them at the airport kiosks or online in advance. Trains run every 30 minutes from 5:20 AM to 11:40 PM.
🚇 AREX All-Stop Train
For a cheaper option, the AREX All-Stop train makes local stops and costs 4,150 won with a T-money card. It takes about 66 minutes to reach Seoul Station, but it's convenient if your destination is near a stop like Hongdae or Digital Media City. Trains run every 6-10 minutes from around 5:30 AM to midnight.
🚌 Airport Limousine Buses
Airport limousine buses serve many hotels and districts, with fares between 10,000 and 18,000 won. Routes like 6015 to Myeongdong or 6002 to Hongdae run every 10-20 minutes from 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM. You can buy tickets at the airport bus stops or from the driver with cash or T-money.
🚕 Taxi Options and Scams
Regular taxis from Incheon to central Seoul cost around 50,000-70,000 won, while deluxe taxis are about 80,000-100,000 won. Avoid unlicensed drivers at the arrivals hall; always use the official taxi queue. Some drivers may refuse the meter, so insist on the meter or choose a different cab.
🚗 Ride-Hailing Apps
Apps like Kakao T and Uber are available in Seoul, offering fixed prices for airport trips. A ride from Incheon to Gangnam costs roughly 60,000-80,000 won. Book through the app to avoid language barriers and ensure transparent pricing.
🚐 Private Transfer Services
Pre-booked private transfers cost around 70,000-120,000 won depending on vehicle size and destination. Companies like KTravelBus or Seoul Airport Transfer offer door-to-door service with English-speaking drivers. This is ideal for groups or those with heavy luggage.
💳 T-Money Card Tips
Buy a T-money card at the airport convenience store for 2,500 won and load it with cash. It works on AREX trains, city buses, and subways, and you can get a refund for remaining balance at the airport. To save time, load at least 20,000 won for your first few days.
⏰ Late-Night Travel
After midnight, the AREX and most buses stop running, so your options are taxis or ride-hailing apps. The N6001 night bus runs from Incheon to Seoul Station from 11:30 PM to 4:30 AM, costing 9,000 won. Taxis at night may have surcharges, so check the meter carefully.
The guide is solid, but one thing I'd add is that if you're landing at Terminal 2, the AREX Express actually starts there and stops at Terminal 1 before heading to Seoul Station. A lot of people don't realize that and end up waiting for the wrong train. Also, for the limousine bus, the 6015 to Myeongdong is great but traffic on the way in can turn that 60-minute ride into 90 minutes easily, especially on Friday afternoons.
yeah the guide covers it well but one thing i'd mention is that if you're traveling with a group of 3 or 4, a regular taxi from the airport to central seoul can actually be cheaper per person than the express train and way more convenient. split 60k won four ways and it's only 15k each, plus no hauling luggage through the station. just make sure they use the meter or you'll get ripped off
Nice write-up. One thing I'd add is that Kakao T has a "call taxi" option where you just put in your destination and it shows the fare upfront, which is perfect for avoiding the language barrier with drivers who don't speak English. I've used it a few times from the airport and it always worked smoothly, even late at night.
