We had heard this was a good way to travel between the two countries, without the hassle of going to airports for a very short flight. This is A GREAT WAY to do the trip. Easy check-in, accessible from the port within the city of Fukuoka and takes you to Busan, with easy access to downtown. Only 3-1/2 hours, very comfortable, reasonably priced. Highly recommend this.

It might be the fastest means to cross Kanmon strait. Took us five minutes from Karato to Mojiko. The pier is in between Karato market and Kaikyokan aquarium and tickets can be purchased right next to the Family mart outside Kaikyokan.
