Why Busan suits visitors from Japan

Busan is one of the closest Korean cities to Japan. Visitors arrive by short flights into Gimhae International Airport from several Japanese cities, and ferries connect Busan Port with northern Kyushu. That proximity makes Busan a popular choice for a weekend trip that combines food, shopping and a skin clinic appointment, without the longer journey to Seoul.


This guide covers practical tips for Japanese visitors: booking in Japanese, getting from the airport or ferry terminal to Seomyeon, planning treatments around a short stay, and understanding prices in KRW.


Booking and consultations in Japanese

Communication is one of the main concerns for many Japanese visitors. At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, consultations are available in Japanese, English and Korean, so you can describe your concerns and ask questions in your own language.


  • Message before you travel. You can contact the clinic on WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, Naver Booking or by phone (+82 51-925-7890). Write in Japanese if that is easiest for you.
  • Share your dates and concerns. Mention your arrival and departure times, and what you would like to improve, for example pigmentation, pores, fine lines or jawline shape.
  • Ask for prices in KRW. Replies include prices in KRW so you can calculate costs before you arrive.
  • Mention medical details. Include medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding and past treatments such as fillers or threads.


Getting to Seomyeon from the airport or ferry terminal

  • From Gimhae Airport. The Busan-Gimhae Light Rail connects to Sasang Station, where you transfer to Metro Line 2 for Seomyeon Station. Taxis and airport buses are also available.
  • From the international ferry terminal. The terminal is near Busan Station. From there, Metro Line 1 runs directly to Seomyeon Station. Taxis are also a short ride.
  • Finding the clinic. Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon is in the Ion City Building, 15F (Room 1501), 74 Seomyeon-ro, Busanjin-gu, a short walk from Seomyeon Station.


Saving the address in Korean on your phone is helpful for taxi drivers. Korean map apps such as Naver Map and Kakao Map usually give the most accurate walking directions.


Planning treatments for a weekend trip

Many Japanese visitors come for two or three days. Here are a few planning points:


  • Book early in the trip. Treatments such as skin boosters, microneedling or fractional laser can leave redness or small bumps that are better settled before you return to work.
  • Use Saturday hours wisely. The clinic is open Saturday 10:00 to 16:00 and Monday to Friday 10:00 to 20:00. If you arrive Friday evening, a weekday evening slot or Saturday morning may work.
  • Allow for sightseeing. Seomyeon has shopping streets and food alleys nearby, so you can explore before or after treatment.
  • Plan for aftercare. Saunas, hot springs, heavy drinking and intense exercise are commonly limited for a short time after many treatments. Ask for written aftercare instructions.


Suitability and results vary from person to person, and the doctor decides at consultation which options fit your skin and schedule.


Popular treatment categories and prices

Japanese visitors often ask about pigmentation care, skin boosters, Botox and lifting devices. Here are some Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon first-visit prices in KRW, VAT excluded (10% VAT is added at payment), checked October 2026. See the full price list.


  • Wrinkle Botox, Korean toxin, 1 area: KRW 3,000
  • Jaw Botox 50 units: KRW 9,900
  • Pico Light Black Toning: KRW 29,000
  • Water Glow skin booster 2cc: KRW 39,000
  • Rejuran 2cc: KRW 139,000
  • Shurink Universe 300 shots: KRW 55,000


Fillers, threads, Juvelook, Sculptra and Thermage FLX are quoted after an in-person consultation. Payment is made on the day after the consultation confirms the plan, and first-visit prices apply once per new patient per item. If you are interested in pigmentation care, our pico toning page explains more.


Payment and practical tips

  • Carry some KRW. Ask the clinic in advance which payment methods are accepted.
  • Remember VAT. Listed prices exclude 10% VAT, which is added at payment.
  • Keep your receipt. Useful for your own records.
  • Pack sunscreen. Sun protection is important after laser and toning treatments.


Frequently asked questions

Can I have my consultation in Japanese?

Yes. Consultations are available in Japanese, English and Korean. Mention your preferred language when booking.


Is a weekend trip long enough for treatment?

For many treatments, yes. Book early in your stay so any redness or swelling has time to settle. The doctor will advise based on your plan.


Can I return to Japan by ferry after treatment?

Many light treatments do not interfere with travel, but tell the doctor your departure time and method so they can advise you.


What should I bring?

Your passport, a list of medications and allergies, and notes or photos of any previous treatments.
