Accommodation Near Rikkyo University, Ikebukuro Campus

Accommodation Near Rikkyo University, Ikebukuro Campus IKEBUKURO TRAIN STATION Rikkyo University is located in Ikebukuro (池袋), in the heart of Tokyo, and convenient from just about any location within Tokyo proper. The Yamanote (JY13), Saikyo (JA12), and the Shonan Shinjuku (JS21) train lines all stop here, as well as the Marunouchi (M25), Yurakucho (Y09), and Fukutoshin (F09) subway lines. Rikkyo University’s Ikebukuro campus, on the west side, is a leisurely 10-15 minute walk from the station. The closest exit is C2, which is on the far end of the station. Ikebukuro station is rather large, very crowded, and complicated. Those familiar with Chinese characters are warned to ignore the department store names located at either end of the station. The Tobu (east-side) department store is near the station’s west exit, and the Seibu (west-side) department store at the east exit. For directions to the campus please see the map provided on the ASCJ homepage under directions to Rikkyo. FROM THE AIRPORT If planning to arrive by air please be aware that Tokyo is served by two airports, Haneda and Narita. Either airport offers easy access to Ikebukuro station, with Haneda being the more convenient. Tickets for buses/trains are easily purchased at the airport stations. By Bus: Limousine bus service to Ikebukuro station or to the nearby Metropolitan Hotel From Haneda: ¥1230 From Narita: ¥3100 By Train: From Haneda (two possibilities): 1. Monorail→Hamamatsu-cho (last stop)→Yamamoto line (Platform 2)→Ikebukuro 2. Keikyu Line→Shinagawa (Not all trains go here so check)→Yamamoto line (Platform 2)→Ikebukuro From Narita: Keisei Line Narita→Nippori→Yamanote line (platform 11)→Ikebukuro ***The Keisei line runs two trains with the Skyliner being the faster and more expensive option. The limited Express (特急) is a worthy alternative for the thrifty. FROM TOKYO STATION Take the Yamanote Line (Platform 4)→Ikebukuro. ***For those choosing the Mejiro hotel option, the station, also on the Yamanote line, is either one stop before (from Shinagawa) or beyond (from Nippori) Ikebukuro. HOTELS CONVENIENT TO RIKKYO UNIVERSITY What follows are a few suggestions for accommodation based on either actual experience or word of mouth. The ASCJ is not endorsing them. There are many more possibilities so you might want to check your favorite .com first. I also include two hotels in Mejiro (目白). Mejiro station, one stop from Ikebukuro on the Yamanote line, is a much less confusing (only one exit) station, situated in a neighborhood peppered with small shops and restaurants. It is reasonably close to Rikkyo University (a pleasant 15 minute walk). USEFUL HINT: When doing a search, unless you plan to share a room, you may want to indicate the room being for 1 person (occasionally the search engine automatically enters 2 people). Some Japanese hotels charge extra for the second person, particularly if breakfast is included. Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro Very convenient to Rikkyo campus, rather pricey but sometimes a good deal can be found on the web. Ikebukuro Royal Hotel Conveniently located business hotel. Tokyu Stay Very convenient to the conference venue. Hotel Urban Ikebukuro Hotel Mets Mejiro One station from Ikebukuro, but a pleasant walk to the Rikkyo campus. Richmond Hotel Mejiro A 5-minute walk from Mejiro station, but in the direction of Rikkyo University. Last year’s keynote speaker reported the hotel quite satisfying. .

The SDRCC As Experienced by a Japanese Colleague
The SDRCC as Experienced by a Japanese Colleague by Kazushige Ogawa, Expert Staff, Japan Sports Arbitration Agency and Adjunct Professor, Rikkyo University and Hosei University (Tokyo) February 2012 In 2011, the SDRCC and the Japan Sports Arbitration Agency (JSAA) entered into a Reciprocity Agreement to stimulate partnership and collaboration between the two organizations, including the sharing of expertise and knowledge. In the same year, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) granted sponsorship to JSAA to provide training opportunities for experts in the field of sport dispute resolution; the grant allowed me to visit the SDRCC as a trainee for a period of 17 weeks, from May to September 2011. Orientation Program for Employees During my internship at the SDRCC, I had the opportunity to attend several orientation and education sessions for new staff members where I was able to learn about the SDRCC programs and materials; it allowed me to understand everything about the SDRCC, including its case management system and arbitration procedures, its prevention and education initiatives and resources, as well as and the Canadian sport system in general. Although all of JSAA’s employees have law degrees, they would benefit from more orientation on arbitration, sport governance and sports laws more precisely. The JSAA should consider adopting a similar education system if it expands due to an increasing caseload. Canadian Sport Society - Values, Openness and Transparency In July, I was graciously hosted by Sport Canada in Ottawa to learn more about the Canadian sport governing structure as well as ethics and anti-doping activities.

The Principles of the Graduate School of Governance Studies' English
Message from the Dean Playing a Leading Role in the Search for New Directions Hiroo Ichikawa, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate School of Governance Studies Japan entered the twenty-first century still suffering the aftereffects of the collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. This prolonged slowdown shook the confidence and pride that the Japanese had developed during their postwar era of spectacular growth, while rapid globalization cast doubt on the nation’s ability to compete internationally. Now we are in the midst of a worldwide recession triggered by the U.S. subprime loan failure. Under these pressures, we will without doubt see great changes in the political and administrative environment. In the coming era, people will be more aware of how their own communities are managed by local bodies, and there will be a growing need for cooperation and collaboration between the national and local governments. Japanese companies, having shown signs of recovery, must now withstand a renewed economic downturn, and they are also being called on to contribute more to society. In short, we can no longer rely on solutions that have worked in the past; we are facing new problems, and the responsibility for solving them lies in our own hands. Contents In other words, it is now urgent that we strengthen the capacity of actors at the local level to formulate and implement policy. 2 Message from the Dean Against this background, the objective of the Graduate School of Governance Studies, as a professional 3 Introduction to Meiji University graduate school, is to produce graduates capable of meeting the political and administrative needs of the coming era.

Energy Policy in Japan: Before and After Fukushima
Conference Energy Policy in Japan: Before and After Fukushima Date/Time: 26 November 2011, 9:30-18:00 th Place: Rikkyo University, Tokyo, 7 bldg. Room7102 Organizers: Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Tokyo Office, Rikkyo University Institute of Economics Panel 1: The Past １０：００－１２：００ At over 10% of GDP, energy is the most fundamental sector of the economy. Yet Japan’s policymaking in the energy sector, particularly electricity, has failed egregiously and left the country very vulnerable. The big question is why such an important sector of the economy could be rendered so susceptible to extraordinarily costly policy failure. The first panel therefore examines the damage done and the processes that led to the present. Presenter: Kodama Tatsuhiko, University of Tokyo: “The Victims of the Nuclear Incident” Presenter: Yoshioka Hitoshi, Kyushu University: “The Structure of Japan’s Nuclear Policymaking” Presenter: Kaneko Masaru, Keio University: “The Post-Fukushima Struggle over Energy Policy” Commentator: Martin Schultz, Fujitsu Research Panel 2: The Present １３：００－１５：００ The 3/11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster have delivered an enormous blow to the Japanese economy. Domestic consumption remains weak, undermined by uncertainty over power supplies. Overseas, the “Japan brand” has taken an enormous hit through repeated news cycles bearing warnings of radiation as well as concerns over the security and reliability of widely extended supply chains. Japan's soft power has been greatly undermined by this single incident. Moreover, the threat of insufficient power remains a serious challenge for the corporate sector. Wide-ranging discussions about the future of Japan’s energy politics have begun and sparked similar discussions in other countries.
