Access information
Access information (in Japanese)
You can reach "Kobe Sannomiya" by limousine bus from Kansai International Airport (KIX) (time required: 65 min. /fare: 1,800 JPY). At "Sannomiya," go to Hankyu Railways and get onto the Kobe Line concourse bound for "Umeda." Take the local train to "Rokko" station (3rd stop, time required: 6 min. /fare: 180 JPY).
Since the nearest station to the conference venue is “Rokko” (Hankyu Railways), we recommended you to book hotels near stations of Hankyu Railways (e.g. Sannomiya). Moreover, Sannomiya station is the terminal station where you can get on all the trains (except shinkansen) and buses to get Osaka/Kyoto/Himeji/Nara.
Most hotels around Sannomiya station are booked fully because the schedule of the ICGC9 includes a national holiday (November 3). We recommended hotels around Osaka or Umeda station. It takes about 30 min to get from Umeda to Rokko station of Hankyu Railway. We described URL of some recommended Hotels below.
