Geographic Location of Nagano City
The NT'06 Conference Venue is
Nagano City, situated in the Japanese mountains
at 418 m above sea level, at 36.67°N/138.19°E.
How to Reach the NT'06 Conference Venue:
- Take Route A from
Tokyo (Narita) International Airport (NRT) or
Tokyo (Haneda) Airport (HND).
- Take Route B from
Nagoya (Chubu) International Airport (NGO) or
Osaka (Kansai) International Airport (KIX).
Route A:
- Directly from Terminal 1 or 2 of
Tokyo (Narita) International Airport, take the
Narita Express train to Tokyo Station (1 hour).
- From Tokyo Station, take the Nagano
Shinkansen
express to Nagano City (1.5 hours).
(For Route A, temporary visitors to Japan can save significantly on
Japan Railway (JR) train travel by purchasing a flexible 4-day
JR East Pass
for unlimited travel during any 4 days within one month, at a cost of
20,000 Yen. This is less expensive than the combined Narita Express and
Nagano Shinkansen round trip ticket. You can either buy the JR pass
directly at Narita Airport, or purchase it outside Japan and exchange
it for the pass at Narita Airport. The
actual pass
covers
a large portion of the main Honshu island, including
many points of interest, and comes handy even in the
Greater Tokyo area.)

first take a bus or a train to Nagoya JR Station.
