The CSJ Chemistry Hall is conveniently located in the center of Tokyo and is
accessible by many modes of transportation. The map shows our relative position to major stations, train lines, along with detailed information about the area surrounding the Chemistry Hall. If coming by taxi, it is better to instruct the driver to go to "Yamano-ue Hotel (Hill-top Hotel)” instead of “Chemistry Hall”, since it is a well known landmark among taxi drivers and is less than a one-minute walk from the Chemistry Hall.
In the map, the Chemistry Hall is shown by a red mark. JR Ochanomizu Station and the subway station exits are shown by orange marks. When you get off the subway, look for exit numbers before exiting the ticket gates, otherwise you might find yourself in a place quite different as expected.
