Sea
International ferries are worth considering if you're travelling around North Asia. You can catch a ferry to Incheon in South Korea from a number of Chinese ports, travel around South Korea, and then leave on a fast ferry from Busan to Japan. Another ferry option is travelling to or from Russia via Sokcho in Gang•won-do.

Land
Theoretically, it should be best travel by land if North Korea does ever relax its isolationist policies. The South could quickly be linked by road and rail through North Korea to China, Russia and beyond. However, it's an exciting prospect that is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Air
Most international flights leave from Incheon International Airport, which is at least an hour from Seoul by bus, and there are six regional airports that provide international flights, mainly to China and Japan.

The two major ones are Gimhae International Airport, which serves Busan, Korea's second-largest city and Jejudo International Airport on Korea's southern holiday island. Eight flights a day travel between the small international terminal at Seoul's Gimpo airport and Haneda airport in Tokyo, both airports are nearer their respective cities' downtown areas than Incheon and Narita.
