It would cost you approximately 18,000 yen. Please note that KEK is known to locals as "Koh-eh-nel-ghi ken-cue-kikoh" in Tsukuba city and NOT as "KEK". It will take approximately an hour and a half. BUS: You may take an airport bus called "Airport Liner - NATT'S" to Tsukuba Center Bus terminal which is approximately 10 km south of KEK. The bus stop is located right outside of Narita Airport terminal. Tickets from Narita Airport to Tsukuba-center bus terminal are available at the Keisei Bus ticket counter located in the arrival lobby. The fare is 2,540 yen for an adult, and 1,270 yen for a child. Bus stop number is #8 at Terminal-1, and #10 at Terminal-2, as of Jun 2006. Check the latest information at the ticket counter before you go outside of the lobby. The bus is bound for "Tsuchiura Station" . For return to Narita, NATT'S ticket can be purchased not only at Tsukuba Center Bus Terminal but also at KEK Grocery.) From Tsukuba Center Bus Terminal to KEK BUS: The bus stop "Tsukuba Center" (tu-ku-ba sen-tah") is located at the center of Tsukuba city. There are two routes of buses departing from Tsukuba Center to KEK, they are for "Technopark Oho", and for "Shimotsuma Station" (shi-mo-tsu-ma-eh-ki). Please note that the buses to Tsukuba-San do not stop at KEK any more. To get on the bus, you should take the door at the rear or at the middle of the bus, not the one at the front. Take a paper token when you get on. The amount of charge is displayed on the panel near the front with the token number. It is wise to prepare the exact amount of charge before getting on the bus. The charge is 430 yen from Tsukuba Center to KEK, "Koh-eh-nel-ghi ken-cue-kikoh". Limited amount of bank notes can be exchanged by the bus driver. Please remember that hitchhiking a car in Japan is not a common practice. You could take a taxi from Tsukuba Center bus terminal to KEK. It would cost you approximately 3,000 yen. Car Rental: It is true that rented car will be very handy if you should stay in KEK for much longer than a week. However, renting a car at Narita airport is not recommended since road signs are quite unclear (even for a Japanese) and only a few English road signs in existence. Roads are narrow and poorly marked. If you really want a car to go around, rent one in Tsukuba. From Tokyo There are several ways to come to KEK from Tokyo. TRAIN Take JR Yamanote line to Akihabara terminal and find out a sign "TX" for Tsukuba Express, located deep underground at the east side of the Akihabara station. It takes about 5 miniutes from JR to TX on foot. From TX Akihabara station, buy a ticket to Tsukuba station. It will take 45 minutes by Rapid, 52 minutes by Semi-Rapid, and 57 minutes by Local train. Take the exit A4 to Tsukuba Center Bus Terminal, and see the section above. BUS: Highway Bus "Mt. Tsukuba Line" was discontinued on Sep.30 There is a highway bus service from Tokyo JR Train station to Tsukuba Center. The bus stop is located at the south end of Yaesu-side exit from the train station (* JR : Japan Railway). Tickets are available at the vending machine at the Tokyo station, inside the building. It takes about 60 minutes to Tsukuba Center. From there to KEK, see the section above. copyright(c) 2004, HIGH ENERGY ACCELERATOR RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, KEK | [email protected] | Copyright | Send Question | 1-1 Oho, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0801 Japan >Top >Access >Time table(Airport Liner) last update:06/11/24 How to reach KEK Airport Liner Access MAP Time table Haneda Airport - Tsukuba Center Route Bus [ To Haneda Airport ] From Tsukuba Center No.13 Aug. 24, 2005 Highway Bus Fare Bus Stop Airport Liner 1800 Tsukuba Center 440 530 640 800 930 1100 1230 1400 1500 1600 1715 1815 1800 Takezono 2(Ni)-chome 442 532 642 802 932 1102 1232 1402 1502 1602 1717 1817 JR / Tsukuba Express 1800 Sengen 1(Ic)-chome 443 533 643 803 933 1103 1233 1403 1503 1603 1718 1818 1800 Namiki 1(Ic)-chome 444 534 644 804 934 1104 1234 1404 1504 1604 1719 1819 1800 Namiki 2(Ni)-chome 446 536 646 806 936 1106 1236 1406 1506 1606 1721 1821 1800 Namiki Ohashi 447 537 647 807 937 1107 1237 1407 1507 1607 1722 1822 -- Haneda Airport Terminal-2 617 707 837 957 1127 1257 1407 1537 1637 1737 1852 1942 -- Haneda Airport Terminal-1 622 712 842 1002 1132 1302 1412 1542 1642 1742 1857 1947 [ From Haneda Airport ] Fare Bus Stop -- Haneda Airport Terminal-1 830 930 1030 1130 1255 1455 1555 1655 1755 1920 2055 2155 -- Haneda Airport Terminal-2 835 935 1035 1135 1300 1500 1600 1700 1800 1925 2100 2200 1800 Namiki Ohashi 1013 1113 1213 1313 1438 1638 1738 1838 1938 2043 2208 2308 1800 Namiki 2(Ni)-chome 1014 1114 1214 1314 1439 1639 1739 1839 1939 2044 2209 2309 1800 Namiki 1(Ic)-chome 1016 1116 1216 1316 1441 1641 1741 1841 1941 2046 2211 2311 1800 Sengen 1(Ic)-chome 1017 1117 1217 1317 1442 1642 1742 1842 1942 2047 2212 2312 1800 Takezono 2(Ni)-chome 1018 1118 1218 1318 1443 1643 1743 1843 1943 2048 2213 2313 1800 Tsukuba Center 1020 1120 1220 1320 1445 1645 1745 1845 1945 2050 2215 2315 EXPRESS BUS INFORMATION of Kanto Railway Co.,Ltd.
