Symposium Location Symposium will be held at Ishikawa High-Tech Conference Center, located right next to JAIST. The mailing address is as follows. Ishikawa High-Tech Conference Center 6-8 Asahi-dai, Tatsunokuchi-cho, Nomi-gun, Ishikawa 923-12, Japan 1. Transportation (T-A) International flight The first step to the symposium site is to cross the ocean. Possible destinations are Tokyo/Narita international airport and Osaka international airport. All major airlines have services to these airports, so pick the airline of your choice. Round trip air fare for this portion varies, for example, transpacific flights (LAX-NRT) are from as low as around $1000 which is group discount rate, to $3000 which is full fare coach, and of course, up. Check out with your travel agency for available rates. (T-B) Domestic flight If you choose to fly into Tokyo/Narita, you may take a flight from Tokyo/Haneda to Komatsu airport (60 min. flight time). There are eight flights a day, serviced either by All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan Air Lines (JAL) or Japan Air System (JAS). Air fare for this portion is 14,600 Yen (OW) and 26,450 Yen (RT). Notice that Tokyo/Haneda and Tokyo/Narita is about 70 Km (44 miles) apart, and you have to take a limousine bus (90 min to 120 min. ride time, depending on the traffic.). Please consider this ride time as well as time for immigration and customs clearance when you make your travel plan. If you choose a flight that arrives at Tokyo/Narita at 15:00 or later, it's better to consider stopping over either at Narita, Haneda or at downtown Tokyo.
