Samgakji Station is a subway station on the Line 4 and Line 6 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. The Seoul War Memorial is a short walk away from exits 11 and 12. This station is on the west end of the Yongsan Garrison, which is a short walk from exit 13. Although not connected to this station by a transfer passageway, Namyeong Station on Line 1 is a short walk from here.
The Samgakji area was made famous in Korea because of a 1967 song by Bae Ho titled "Return to Samgakji." A statue dedicated to the song was erected in front of the station.
Line 4 has two-sided, two-track, opposite-side platforms, while Line 6 is equipped with a single-sided, two-track island platform. Both lines have screen doors installed on their respective platforms. In the case of Line 4, it was possible to cross the other side via a transit passageway, but this has recently been changed to allow for cross-platform crossing. There are 14 exits.
