The institute is across the street. All buses from this platform are bound for Fureyu. Director Buses depart Tsurumi every 5–15 minutes. It takes about 15 minutes to arrive at RIKEN Yokohama. The Tadashi Yamamoto fare is 220 yen. By Train A 15-minute walk from JR Tsurumi-Ono Station (JR Tsurumi Line), which is directly accessible by transfer Integrative Senior Advisor from JR Tsurumi Station. Medical Sciences rains run about every 10 minutes during morning and Planning Oce Masaru Taniguchi evening rush hour, but less frequently at other times. Shizuo Akira Searchable train timetables in English are available at http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ By Taxi Use the taxi stand at the East Exit of JR Tsurumi Station or the West Exit of Keikyu Tsurumi Station. The trip takes about 10 minutes and costs around 1,200 yen. RIKEN Center for Integrative From the Airport Medical Sciences Advisory Council From Haneda Airport From Narita Airport Max Cooper (chair) Route 1 From Narita Airport Station take the JR Sobu Line Deputy Director Take the Keikyu Railways Airport Express* (blue kanji (Rapid Express), Airport Limousine Bus or JR Narita Mark Lathrop (vice chair) sign) for Yokohama and get off at Keikyu Tsurumi Express to JR Shinagawa Station. (JR Sobu Line is the Hiroyuki Aburatani Station (27–29 minutes). Airport Express trains run most inexpensive option and takes about 1 hour and 15 Michiaki Kubo every 10–15 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. minutes). From JR Shinagawa Station take the JR Keihin Rudi Balling Next, follow the Local Access directions above to get to Tohoku Line (Yokohama direction) to JR Tsurumi Station Haruhiko Koseki Riccardo Dalla-Favera RIKEN Yokohama.
