What’s about JR Kyushu High Speed Boat Beetle
The JR Kyushu High Speed Boat Beetle, which connects Fukuoka and Busan, has been in service between Hakata Port and Busan Port since 1991 as a joint venture between JR Kyushu and the Korea Railroad Corporation. It is popular among many Japanese and Korean tourists for its easy overseas travel, which takes only about 3 hours one way.
It takes only 2 hours and 55 minutes from Hakata Port to Busan Port.
Boarding procedures (check-in) and passport control at each port close 30 minutes before departure time.
Please arrive at the terminal well in advance as you will not be allowed to board the ship after the closing time.
During busy times, it may take some time to complete check-in procedures, so please check in at least 45 minutes (Port of Hakata) or 60 minutes (Port of Busan) prior to departure.
Reservations can be easily made through the official website.
It seems that telephone reservations can also be made, but we recommend online reservations as they are by far the most convenient.
