[From Sannomiya]

Take Port Liner (ポートライナー) for Kobe Airport from Sannomiya (三宮) to Iryo Center (医療センター) station. Trains to neither Naka-futo (中埠頭) nor Kita-futo (北埠頭) goes to Iryo Center station.

There is a convention centre at Shimin Hiroba (市民広場) station. There is another RIKEN building at Keisan Kagaku Center (計算科学センター) station. However, these are NOT close to the conference venue.

The port Liner is usually crowded around 8:00–8:30 AM. If Port Liner is suspended or too crowded, you can also take a Shinki bus (神姫バス) from Sannomiya station, but we recommend using Port Liner.


[Accommodation]

We do not provide accommodation. However, there are many hotels available in Kobe. Please note that no special rates or negotiated prices are offered.

[Inside Port Island]

Inside the Port Island, the number of the hotels is limited, while you can commute on foot.

[Around Sannomiya Station]

Sannomiya (三宮) is the city center of Kobe; hence, there are many hotels. Below are just examples of the hotels around Sannomiya and this does not mean the recommendation from the organizing committee.
