Itaewon Station Exits: Which Exit to Use, and When Noksapyeong or Hangangjin Is Closer

Three Line 6 stations cover the Itaewon area, from west to east: Noksapyeong, Itaewon and Hangangjin. Itaewon Station is simple, with only four exits, but Gyeongnidan-gil and Haebangchon are closer to Noksapyeong, and the eastern end of Hannam-dong is closer to Hangangjin. Pick the station by where you are going and you will walk less.

From Myeongdong — change to Line 6 at Samgakji

From Myeongdong Station take Line 4 past Hoehyeon, Seoul Station and Sookmyung Women's University to the fourth stop, Samgakji, and change to Line 6.

Itaewon Station — four exits; 1 and 4 are the ones you will use most

An underground station with one island platform and four exits. Exit 1 is on the Hamilton Hotel side (65 m per Kakao Map); Original Pancake House, on the second floor of the hotel's shopping mall, is under 100 m away. Exit 4 has the Hamilton Hotel bus stop in front of it, and all three 24-hour soup and stew places (Jinseon Sogogi Gukbap, Nuri Maeul Gamjatang, Yukjeon Gukbap) are about 100 m or less from it. Exit 3 is the one for Tartine Bakery. For the Seoul Central Mosque, Kakao Map gives a 10-minute walk (about 480 m) from Exit 2, while one blog post says about 10 minutes from Exit 3.
