(3. Visa)
Participants from US do not need visas if the period of

(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.
=======================================================================

and the Study and Training Hall (on your left). Go up the narrow outdoor
stairs on the right side of the latter building and then you will find
