Tranportation

Most of participants will come from Nagasaki after HP2024, therefore take a domestic flight and arrive at Haneda airport in Tokyo. 

From Haneda airport to Tokyo city

Via train:

From Haneda airport to Tokyo city, Tokyo Monorail Line or Keikyu Line connect you to JR Line. For Monorail Line, change the train at Hamamatsu-cho (浜松町) station (last stop) to JR Yamanote Line.
