Venue (getting there)

The course will be held at the 

Research Center for Marine Biology of Tohoku University

Asamushi, Aomori

Getting there

Get to the Asamushi Research Center on your own, using bus, train or airplane, as you wish.

By train, if using the Tohoku Shinkansen, traveling through either Hachinohe (one transfer, more time on local train) or Shin-Aomori (two transfers (first to the Aomori station), shorter time on local train) is possible. Total travel time is similar but may vary a bit according to schedule. There is a 200-300 yen difference in price between the two options. If going through Aomori station you should then take the local Aoimori tetsudo train bound for Asamushi onsen station.

By airplane, once at Aomori airport, the airport bus will take you to Aomori station.

At either Aomori station or Hachinohe station, take the local Aoimori tetsudo train to Asamushi-onsen station, from which you can enjoy a pleasant 25 min walk through the onsen town and along the seaside until reaching the Research Center.

All participants should plan to be on site at the latest at 15:00 on September 15.
