Optional Tour to Kamioka

Optional Tour to Kamioka

LOC invites guests to an optional one-day tour to Kamioka underground laboratories, Super-Kamiokande and Kamland, on Sep.23rd.

Since it is Saturday and a national holiday of Japan, total number of visitors is limited by safety reasons. It is likely that LOC cannot accept all applicants, and priority to be given for foreign guests. Accompanied persons will not be accepted. Please apply to the tour lottery through the registration page in your early convenience, no later than June 30. LOC will inform selection results ASAP, so that applicants can arrange additional accommodation and return flight enough earlier.

(Now number of applicants has reached to the maximum capacity, and we are sorry that no more guests can be accepted.)

It is full-one day tour by Hokuriku-Shinkansen super express train bound from Ueno (Tokyo) to Toyama, and a chartered bus from Toyama to Kamioka.

Ueno is convenient to access both Haneda and Narita airports for your return flight. Stay two nights (22 & 23) at Ueno is strongly recommended, so that you can join the tour without big luggage. LOC members will guide you from Ueno through the way.

The tour fee is +28,000 JPY, which includes Shinkansen round-trip tickets between Ueno and Toyama, transportation between Toyama and Kamioka, and lunch+coffee break at Kamioka town. LOC will request the fee at the registration on 18th/20th, and pass you the JR tickets in return.
