(How to reach KEK)
    http://www.kek.jp/en/CometoKEK/Tsukuba/
    http://www.kek.jp/ja/Access/ (Japanese)

Please read the access information from the Narita/Haneda airports at
    http://www2.kek.jp/rso/eng/Access/.

If you arrive at the Narita/Haneda international airport,
you need to take a bus (or train) from the airport to the Tsukuba center
Then, you may take a bus
    http://www2.kek.jp/rso/eng/Access/TsukubaCenter.html
or you may take a taxi to the hotel or KEK.
The taxi cost is about 3500 yen. It would be a good idea to show
the map of the hotel or KEK to the taxi driver by printing out
the access information page of the hotel web or KEK.
If you stay at the Urban hotel, there is a hotel limo to take
you from the Tsukuba center to the hotel. Please call the hotel
to inform your schedule after you arrive in Japan.

-----------------------------
Registration for wireless LAN
-----------------------------
You need to register the MAC address of your notebook computer
for using LAN at KEK in advance from the following web site:
    http://www2.kek.jp/uskek/eng/other/lan2.html,
    https://krs.kek.jp/uskek/ui/ (Japanese).
Please write "6100" and "Michiyo Sakurai" in the contact section.
