you will have to pay for the whole stay when you register at the 
registration desk.No reservations will be made for the days

reservations. We have included in the home page of the workshop, and also
attached to this circular a list of suggested hotels in the Shinjuku
area (close to the workshop) and in Narita airport.

which will be collected at the registration desk.  
        Please note that only Japanese Yen cash is acceptable (no 
check/creditcard). For purchases in Tokyo and also for retrieving cash from 
banks, some of the credit cards issued in foreign countries may not be usable 
in Japan, so take some cash/traveller cheques with you just in case.

(3. Visa)

     Participants from US do not need visas if the period of
your business/seightseeing trip does not exceed 3 months.  
Depending on your nationality, a visa  may  be  required  for  entering
Japan.  Please check with your travel agency/Japanese embassy in your
country for details.

=======================================================================

(4. Transportation)

     The National Olympics Memorial Youth Center is located in Yoyogi (Tokyo).
Yoyogi is very close to Shinjuku, a big business section of the capital.
JR (Japan Railways) have the N'EX (Narita  EXpress) service from  Narita
Airport to the JR Shinjuku station (about 70-100 minutes, 3,050 Yen).    
At the Shinjuku Station, take a taxi to the National Olympics Memorial
Youth Center (Say "Yoyogi Orimpikku Seishonen Senta"). 
It takes 5 minutes and costs less  than 1,000 Yen.  
Alternatively, take an Odakyu Line train from the underground
platform of Shinjuku to Sangubashi (the second station, 160 Yen) 
and walk 5 minutes.  Or take a Keio bus (200 Yen, 10 minutes) from 
the west-exit terminal (No.16) of the Shinjuku Station, and get off 
at the bus stop of "Yoyogi Go-Chome."  
See the map in the conference home page for details.
          
No parking lot is available now.  

=======================================================================
