U.S. Yongsan Garrison
Installation Overview U.S. Yongsan Garrison, Korea is located in the heart of Seoul, Korea, a city of 13 million. The city is a unique combination of the ultra-modern and a the ancient, and a diverse history of foreign occupation, war and reconstruction. The installation dates back to the Japanese occupation and still has some of those original buildings in use. In direct contrast, Yongsan has some of the newest, and most modern facilities in all the Armed Forces. For example, the Dragon Hill Lodge is an elegant complex of shops, restaurants, and lodging. |

If you obtain quarters on base, the housing office will provide the basic household items, (i.e. washer/dryer, beds, and other furniture).

Starting April 4, 2016, 5-digit postal codes are required for all shipments to and from Korea
The FedEx internal system is now calibrated for the 5-digit postal code, and starting April 4, 2016, the FedEx system will only accept 5-digit postal codes on shipping documents for all shipments to and from Korea and in all FedEx shipping tools, including ‘Get Rates & Transit Times’ and ‘Schedule and Manage Pickups’ on fedex.com. On and after April 4, 2016, the old 6-digit postal code will not be accepted by the FedEx system.
In order to facilitate a smooth transition to the 5-digit postal code, it is advised that users of FedEx automation tools, including ‘FedEx Ship Manager software’ and ‘FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.com’, update the postal codes in their address book from the 6-digit to the 5-digit postal code starting April 4, 2016. Please click here for the user guide. If you have a large number of Korea address records and want to update them before the FedEx system accepts the 5-digit postal code, please contact your local FedEx Technical Support Helpdesk for assistance.
To find the 5-digit postal code based on the road name address or land-lot number address, please visit Korea e-Post site and search under the Postal Code Finder.
