How to get to the JR Time Table & Chart)

It takes about 3 hours from Narita Airport to the Center. The chart attached shows three different ways to get there, depending on the type of train and connection station one chooses. (Please refer to the timetable and chart)

  1. One can take the rapid train (called Airport Narita) from Narita Airport direct to Zushi Station (with some exceptions). The trains leave Narita Airport only once an hour. This way is the most economical and convenient, however it is time- consuming, about two hours and forty minutes. (Refer to the JR Time Table and Chart marked in brown).
  2. One can also take the Narita Express from Narita Airport to Yokohama Station, then change there on the same platform into the Yokosuka Line bound for Zushi Station.
  3. Or one can take the Narita Express from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, then change to the Yokosuka Line to Zushi Station. The information we have is that you have to walk a long way, up and down the escalator to get your connection inside the Tokyo Station.

The first and the second methods are recommended. And please note that only the JR system is involved here.

From Zushi Station, it takes another 30 minutes by local bus to reach Shonan Village Center. (Refer to the Bus Time Table)

There might be slight changes in the time-tables in April, so please check with for updated information.

The price for the Narita Express is: Narita Airport to Tokyo: Yen 2890 Narita Airport to Yokohama: Yen 4100




Banks

As mentioned in Bulletin No. 2, the bank is about 30 minutes away, close to the Zushi Station. It is advisable to change or cash your money at the airport before you take the train. For your information, we list the following addresses where cashing of credit cards is available:




Computer Corner

We plan to set up a computer corner where 2 Apple computers with modems and a printer would be available for you to communicate with your home system through ISDN 64. However, since this is the first time we are attempting to set up a remote work station there may be problems.

Slides cannot be used this time. OHP only please. No poster session is planned for RF96.
