Meet the group at Hotel Kazusaya in Tokyo
Start of Trip: Hotel check-in from 2:00 p.m.; 6:45 p.m. meet in lobby, 7:00 p.m. Orientation followed by Welcome Dinner.
Getting to the site: For participants that have flights included through Road Scholar, transportation by bus/train will be provided from Narita Airport to the hotel in Tokyo on the program's official arrival date (Day 2) in Japan.
For independent arrivals, there are regular Narita Express Trains (approx 55 min journey) from Narita Airport to JR Tokyo Station. One-way tickets cost approximately JPY3,070. Hotel Kazusaya is located near the Nihonbashi Area, just a one minute walk from the Sobu Express Line Shin-Nihonbashi station, and a five minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Mitsukoshi-mae Station. However, we recommend using a taxi to the hotel after arriving at Tokyo Station (5 minute ride).
If you are arriving at Haneda, you can use either the Keikyu line or Tokyo Monorail. Both will require a transfer (at Shinagawa for the Keikyu Line or Hamamatsucho for the Monorail), using the JR Yamanote Line to Tokyo. From Tokyo Station, it is a short taxi ride to the hotel.
