Another alternatives is to take the KTX (Korean Train Express) leaving from Yongsan Station at 8:30 and arriving at Gyeryong Station at 09:41. And another at 09:20 and arriving at Gye-Ryong Station at 10:37. This hour long journey costs about 25,000 Won.
From Gye-Ryong it is a short taxi ride of about 20 minutes to Mu Sang Sa and the cost should be between 7,000 to 8,000 Won. If you plan to come by train, please note that the weekends and national holidays are very busy travel times so you should book or buy your tickets well in advance.
