Has anybody got any travel information? How to get to North Korea either from Japan or China? Your help will much appreciated. Thanks a lot Nerris Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:57:10 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/travelling-to-north-korea From what I understand, you can only get so far across the border into the DMZ as a part of a tour group. This is from South Korea side. I'm not sure how it works from the Chinese side. You can fly or boat from either Japan or China into S. Korea...no problem there.

I have found two travel Dutch agencies and I will call me just in case they can arrange something for me and joint the group, or reschedule my trip to North Korea first ans then to the other places.

One Japanese tourist (can speak some Korean) has even ridden a train from Pyngyanag to China (because he became sick he got this opportunity) You can travel there from South Korea or from Japan only as part of a tour group.

Thanks a lot Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:52:49 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/travelling-to-north-korea#114349 Nektarios, here is the Japanese site I read yesterday. "Sightseeing in North Korea":http://www.d4.dion.ne.jp/~ji2txu/korea/hanmon.htm I just wanted to add that not every link works on the above site, but there are a couple of tour companies, whose links work. I googled with "北朝鮮　観光." I suggest googling to read more about this topic. There are just too many pages to read.
