Tokyo (Shinjuku, Vh)
Most convenient and
cheapest way to go to Shinjuku, the liveliest of all the CBDs
of Tokyo with skyscrapers, discount camera and computer shops, bookstores
selling books in English, many different kinds of international restaurants and
pubs (including fine Irish style) as well as amusement facilities is by the OER
(Odakyu) Line train. Sangubashi (Q{΄), the nearest OER
station, is about six minutes away on foot from the conference venue. Please refer to the map. Shinjuku is
just three minutes (two stations) away by train from Sangubashi,
and the fare is JPY 130 one way.
Beware
that you need to cross the railway tracks at the level crossing before reaching
the railway station. The trains run
at very high speed (ca. 90km/hour) and they often approach from both left and
right simultaneously. Never attempt to cross the railway tracks
while the crossing signal alerts you to the approaching trains. Disobeying the railway crossing signal
can mean a fatal consequence. When you return to the NOMYC, board
the train at Shinjuku from OER (Odakyu) platforms. Only local trains (Kakutei), which leave from the
basement platforms, stop at Sangubashi. The direction to the NOMYC is
clearly signposted with the NOMYC logo.
