Korean train stations are unassuming buildings, a far cry from the cathedral-esque train stations of Rome or Florence but none the less just as functional. In Korea, Station is "yook" (역). They are easy to navigate and have ticket counters usually with kinda English speaking people. Also, the announcements are in Korea and English both at the station and on the platform. Most of the signs are in Korea, English and Chinese so the train station is very foreigner friendly.
