Accommodation

We made block reservations at Hearton Hotel ( 10 single and 20 7 double rooms) and Mitsui Garden Hotel (only Japanese web page is available) (50 14 single rooms) between May 15 (arrival) and May 21 (departure). These hotels are located in downtown Kyoto. The nearest subway station from the Hearton Hotel is the Karasuma-Oike station and Shijo-Karasuma station, respectively. Check this PDF file for their locations: No. 28 is the Hearton hotel and No. 45 is the Mitsui Garden Hotel on this map.

The following rates do NOT include Breakfast, service charges and taxes. Those who want to stay in these hotels should make their reservations by April 15, 2005, though the registration form. The local organizing committee will allocate these hotels to participants on a first-come-first-served basis. Participants wishing to extend their reservations or to stay in other hotels are required to contact to each hotel by yourselves. Because May is the peak season for tourists in Kyoto, it is strongly recommended to contact the hotel(s) as early as possible.
