Recommended for travelers staying in Myeongdong on the first day of their trip. The seats are comfortable and Olive Young samples are provided. There is room on the tour bus to store luggage. It is recommended to make a reservation one month in advance!

Remember to take the shuttle bus to T1, get there and an uncle directs you to line up, when other paying guests get on before the free guests get on. If you miss the booked service you can take the next one. Scan the QR code when you get on the bus.

The regular passengers will board first. I was able to relax on the luxurious seats and go to Myeongdong (*≧∀≦*) I was so happy that the bus fare was free. The bus speeds up like in Korea, but the driving skills are amazing on the narrow roads and curves! ︎It was a little disappointing that there were some bonus items such as discount coupons for Olive Young, but there were none. But I was able to go to Myeongdong comfortably.

When boarding, paying passengers must board first, but the attendant only explained it in Korean, which was a bit confusing (the foreigners in line said, "Why are people who aren't in line allowed to board first?" and "Oriyang, go here"...most Japanese people were confused). Aside from that, the inside of the bus was comfortable, and we were given souvenirs and samples, which was great.
