Is advanced booking required for ferries from South Korea to Japan

No, advance booking is not required, you can generally walk up and buy tickets. This applies to both the slow ferries and the hydrofoils on the primary routes (Busan-Fukuoka, Busan-Shimonoseki).

Of course, this assumes there is availability on the ferries, but outside absolute peak travel seasons (Golden Week etc) this is unlikely to be a problem, especially since recently low-cost airfares have made ferry travel a lot less attractive than it used to be.

Also, while the basic fares are same if purchased in advance or on the spot, there are some heavily discounted advance purchase fares available online only. For example, while the full fare for Busan-Fukuoka return is ¥26,000, the “B-Spe” online fare (min. 14 days in advance) is just ¥4,900.
