Access to Omiya
From central Tokyo (Ueno or Tokyo Station), you can take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Omiya Station, which takes approximately 20 minutes. If you’re arriving at Narita Airport, you have two options:
- Take the Skyliner (or similar express train) to Ueno Station, then transfer to a local or express train to Omiya Station
- Take a direct bus service from either Narita or Haneda airports to Omiya Station
Bus service from Omiya
We will arrange a bus service from Omiya to the venue every morning (see below). Any participants who are staying in Omiya are welcome to join the bus.
Access from train stations to the compus
You can reach Saitama University by taking a local train to nearby stations such as
- Kita-Urawa Station
- Minami-Yono Station
- Shiki Station
- Kita-Asaka Station
followed by a local bus to the university.
Important Note on Access from Omiya Station
Google/Apple map may recommend you to take Saikyo Line (SK) to Minami-Yono Station, then take a local bus. But, we do NOT recommend this route because the buses are crowded.
Instead, you can take Keihin-Tohoku Line (JK) to Kita-Urawa Station, then take a local bus at the bus stop located in front of a burger restaurant (Mos Burger). All buses departing from this bus stop go to Saitama University (埼玉大学). If there is a queue, please wait for the next bus. Buses are frequent.
Excursion
If the weather is fine, we will organize a short excursion from Saitama Shintoshin Station to Hikawa-jinja Shrine in Omiya. The approach to the shrine is about 3 km long. There are many parks around the shrine where you can enjoy nature and there many cafes. The Omiya Bonsai Art Museum is also nearby. A bus from the campus to Saitama Shintoshin Station will depart at 13:00 on 21st October.
If you want to visit other places, please use public transportation. There are many options, including Kawagoe, which is 1 hour away from Saitama Shintoshin Station by local train and bus.
