Venue
Saitama University (Access/Map)
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.
You can reach Saitama University by taking a local train to nearby stations such as Kitara-Urawa or Minami-Yono, followed by a local bus to the university. Please note that buses can be crowded during rush hours. The first lecture in Saitama University begins at 9:00 AM on weekdays. During rush hours, we recommend boarding the bus at either Kitara-Urawa Station, Minami-Yono Station, Shiki Station, or Kita-Asaka Station, as these are the first stops where you can get a seat. Note that from Minami-Yono Station, there are two bus routes to the university - we specifically recommend taking the route where Minami-Yono is the first stop.
