You can also take Super Express Sky Liner which is ca. 10 minutes faster but you have to pay additional 1,000 yen for seat reservation. 2) From Keisei-Ueno Station, take a taxi to University of Tokyo. It is advised to take a taxi from the other side of the main street in front of Keisei-Ueno Station to save the taxi fee. To stop a taxi, just raise your hand. Ask a driver to take you to the rotary close to Bus Terminal within the campus (show the map to a driver). It will cost ca. 1,000 yen. (You can also walk, which will take ca. 20 minutes. But there is rather steep upslope of 20 m in hight.) 3) From the rotary to Science Building #1C (the conference place), it will take one minute by walk. 2. Using JR line 1) Take JR Narita Line to Tokyo Station. Narita express bound for Tokyo will cost ca. 3,000 yen. It will take ca. 1hour. 2) From Tokyo, take a subway called Marunouchi Line (Red Line) bounds for Ikebukuro and get off at Hongo-sanchome station (M21). It will take ca. 10 minutes and cost 160 yen. The subway comes every 4 to 5 minutes. 3) From Hongo-sanchome to Science Building #1C, it will take ca. 15 minutes by walk (see the map). 19.
