Transportation ============== There are two international airports in the greater Tokyo area: Narita and Haneda. Bus --- The Airport Limousine bus from Narita Airport is the most convenient way to get to the recommended hotels and the meeting place. Some buses stop at two of the recommended hotels. Other recommended hotels are near by those hotels. http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/timetable/narita/shiba_h.html Train ----- If the bus schedules do not suit you, use of Keisei Line (Skyliner or Limitted Express), or JR Narita Express is also recommended. If you choose Keisei Line, use of Skyliner is highly recommended in the mornings. Change trains at Nippori Station to Yamanote Line and go to Hamamatsucho Station, from which the recommended hotels are 5-10 minutes on foot, or about 700 yen by taxi. Note that Yamanote is a loop line. http://www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/keisei_us/top.html If you choose JR N'EX, change trains at Tokyo Station to Yamanote Line, and follow the above guidance. http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/nex/ Monorail -------- If you arrive at Haneda Airport, the monorail is convenient to get to Hamamatsucho Station. Follow the above guidance to get to the hotels. http://www.tokyo-monorail.co.jp/english/ Nearrest stations ----------------- Kamiyacho (Tokyo Metro Subway: Hibiya Line) Onarimon (Toei Subway: Mita Line) Daimon (Toei Subway: Asakusa Line and Oedo Line) Hamamatsucho (JR: Yamanote Line) Lunch ===== Individuals make their own arrangments using the local facilities. A restaurant map will be available. There is a reasonable restaurant in the same building as the meeting rooms. Hotels ====== To avoid commuting in overloaded trains, a list of recommended hotels has been provided as WG5 N1720. A number of rooms are block-reserved at Shiba Park Hotel.
