AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION
We will encourage foreign participants to arrive at Osaka/Kansai Airport
if possible. There are a limousine bus service (http://www.kate.co.jp/pc/e_time_table/e_kyoto.html) and a train service, including a limited express gHarukah (http://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/en/access/index.html), from Osaka/Kansai Airport to Japan Railway (JR) Kyoto Station, the center
of Kyoto city.
However, if the participants wish, we will make reservation for a comfortable
and convenient door-to-door shuttle service, gMK Skygate Shuttleh. The
shuttle accommodates up to 8 customers and it will take you to the door
of your hotel or your residence. It will take you from the airport to Kyoto
city in about 1.5 hour. The basic charge will be 3,500 yen (=ca.US$41),
which we think is very reasonable for all the service. In addition to a
small carry-on luggage, one big luggage (a suit case of any size, etc.)
is allowed for no extra charge; an additional luggage will cost 1,000 yen.
The shuttle service operates by advanced reservation made three days before
your arrival or earlier. They will also accept a round trip reservation
at a reduced charge. Just let us know your arrival flight information by
November 30. We will book the shuttle service for you. Then, all you have
to do upon arrival is to go to gMK Skygate Shuttle Service Deskh on the
arrival floor and tell your name.
