5. How to get there and stay in Tokyo

Get off Waseda station (T04) of Tozai subway line. Two minutes’ walk to the conference venue (see Map 1, otherwise search “Research Innovation Center, Waseda University, Building 121” on Google Map). Tully’s Coffee is located on the 1^st floor of the conference site.

To take Tozai line (sky blue color of Map 2), Otemachi station (T09) of Tozai line is close to Tokyo station. Shinjuku is the closest terminal, but you need to change trains at Takadano-baba (JY15) of Yamanote line to Tozai line bound for Waseda, next stop. (see Map 2)

Tokyo/Haneda or Tokyo/Narita airports are the gateway to Tokyo.

Book accommodation by yourself. Many choices are available in Tokyo.
