Get in

🌍 Jeongeup Station connects the town to the wider Korean rail network.

There is a 🌍 Bus Station near the rail station, with connections to the national park outside of the town.

Get around

By taxi

It is easy to get ripped off by taxi drivers who charge 10,000-15,000 per person, which is ~3-4 times the normal fee. So try to avoid these taxis and avoiding visiting at peak times for traffic, especially weekends. This has been an issue for many years, but the city government has done nothing effective to improve the situation.
