Hotel information for the 8th Face to face meeting: Aug 1 - Aug 3, 2013 @ University of Toyama

Outline

Please reserve your hotel by yourself ! We will NOT RESERVE hotel on behalf of you.

The best way is that you reserve hotel near Toyama station. There are a lot of hotels, shops and restaurants there. It takes about 20 minutes from Toyama station to University of Toyama by tram or bus.

I am not so sure that staffs of hotels can speak English because I have never asked something at Japanese hotels in English. In some hotels, you can ask in English. But I am afraid that such hotels are expensive.

Hotels which KAGRA and CLIO collaborators often stay

These hotels are near Toyama station.

• Concept Hotel Wakyu(Japanese,English). This is Japanese style hotel. I mean that it is different from European style.

If you would like to be sure that staffs can speak English ...

• ANA Crowne Plaza Toyama (Japanese,English). It is slightly far from Toyama station (15 minutes on foot). If you arrive from Toyama airport by bus, the nearest bus stop is "Sogawa". The bus to the airport stops in front of this hotel. When you go to University of Toyama, the nearest Tram station is "Marunouchi". You take tram (2line) for "Daigakumae (In front of University of Toyama)" and get off at "Daigakumae". Tram depart every about 10 minute.
