Korean hot springs without a car: which one to pick, what to wear, and how to get there

Seven options compared by dress code, published tattoo rule and November closing time, with the transit route from each one's nearest major city

First-timers and couples should pick Paradise Spa Dogo; Sincheon-tang is the cheap all-rail option, and Hurshimchung in Busan bans tattoos.

Do you have to be naked at a Korean jjimjilbang? Dress rules, age limits, tattoos and sleeping over

The age rules come from national law; tattoo rules are up to each venue

You're naked only in the single-sex bath. Everywhere else you wear the uniform you're given. From 48 months, children can't enter the opposite-sex bath. At 24-hour venues, under-19s need a parent, a supervising adult or a signed consent form at night.
