The area where JAXA Chofu Aerospace Center (CAC) is located is a suburban area of Tokyo. The nearest stations to JAXA are “Mitaka”(10-15 minutes by bus, around one every hour, 30 minutes by walk) and “Kichijoji”(15-20 minutes by bus, every 20 minutes) that are next to each other on JR Chuo-line directly connected to Shinjuku and Tokyo (Tokyo Central station). From Mitaka and Kichijoji, Shinjuku is 15 minute ride (210JPY) and Tokyo is 30 minute ride (380JPY) by Chuo-line commuter. The commuter service is rather frequent (every 2-10 minutes).

From the convenience to commute to the conference place, we recommend the following two hotels near Kichijoji station. We are planning to charter a bus to commute Kichijoji area and conference place in the morning and evening. Information of pick up bus servce is here.
