Accommodations:
Access to the venue:
- It takes about fifteen minutes on the Odakyu Line Express or Semi-Express (do not take Rapid Express) from Shinjuku Station to Seijo Gakuenmae Station. Seijo University is a five-minute walk from the station. Please see here for access to Seijo University.
Alternatively, you could choose hotels near the stations along the Chiyoda Line (Tokyo Metro). To get to the symposium venue from any stations on Chiyoda Line, take a subway (Chiyoda Line) bound for Yoyogi-Uehara (C01=OH05). Change there to Odakyu Line, which is conveniently on the same platform, and get off at Seijogakuen-mae. Sometimes when you are lucky, you may get on a subway train which is directly connected with Odakyu Line, so that you do not have to change train at Yoyogi-Uehara.
