To come to Yoshida Campus, Kyoto Univ.
from Kansai International Airport, see the following link:

A convenient way to come from Kansai airport to Kyoto station
is to use Limited Express HARUKA. The station of HARUKA
is just in front of the airport. See the map of the 2nd floor of KIX
MAP. Please go towards #67 on this map. You can buy a ticket around there.
The price is around 3,000 yen. Credit cards are available.
The time table of HARUKA is the following: @
Weekday
@
Saturday
@
Sunday and public holiday
It takes about one and half hours from the airport to Kyoto station.
There are some ways to come from Kyoto station to Yoshida Campus,
Kyoto Univ. The cheapest way is to take a bus in front of Kyoto station (230 yen).
The lines 206 and 17 are available. But 206 is extremely crowded
because of a lot of tourists, so 17 is highly recommended.
The easiest way is to take a taxi. You can find taxi stands on this
map around Kyoto station. There are two taxi stands, but the north
just in front of the hotel Granvia is convenient.
It takes around 2,000 yen from Kyoto station to the university
(though it depends heavily on the traffic situation).
The venue of the workshop is Science Seminar House in North Campus
(#10 in the following map).

Some participants are going to stay at
Hotel GIMMOND Kyoto.
It is very helpful to see this
English map,
where how to get to the hotel, how to come to Kyoto Univ. from the hotel etc.
are clearly explained with concise and beautiful pictures.
If you come directly from Kyoto station to the hotel,
the subway (Karasuma line) is the most convenient.
The nearest station is Karasuma-Oike station.
As for the detailed location of the hotel, see
the location of Hotel.
Of course, you may take a taxi from Kyoto station to the hotel (It costs around 1,000 yen, but heavily
depends on the trafic situation).
Then, just in case, please print out
the Japanese map around the hotel
and show it to the taxi driver.
(Don't expect that taxi drivers can speak English.)
To come from the hotel to Kyoto Univ.,
it is easy to use the subway from Karasuma-Oike to Imadegawa.
Then take a bus 203 from there to Kyodai Nogakubu-mae. The lines 201 & 102 are also available
but do not stop at Kyodai Nogakubu-mae. So you have to get off at Hyakumanben and walk to the seminar house.
In any of these cases, please be careful for the direction. For the proper direction, you can see
Mt. DAIMONJI.

This workshop is devoted to the kick-off workshop for the research budget,
Supporting Program for InteRaction-based Initiative Team Studies (SPIRITS),
``New low-energy effective field theory emerging from superstring theory''
(PI: Kentaroh Yoshida)
supported by Kyoto Univ.
It is also co-organized with National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS), Taiwan.
