How to go to UVSOR
UVSOR is located in Okasaki which is a city near Nagoya in Aichi prefectur. From abroad, most of the flights arrive at the Kansai International Air Port (KIX) near Osaka or the Narita International Airport (NRT) near Tokyo. Both airports have train lines to bring you to the nearest big city, i.e. Osaka or Tokyo, and then you can take the Shinkansen (Bullet train) to Nagoya.
To travel from Narita International Airport (NRT) to Okazaki, by train, follow these steps:
From Narita International Airport, take the Narita Express (N'EX) train to Tokyo Station. The Narita Express is a direct and comfortable option for reaching Tokyo Station. Please note that there are two Shinkansen lines, one is going to the southwest (which you need to take) and another is going the north.
At Tokyo Station, transfer to the Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) bound for Nagoya. You can take either the Hikari or Nozomi Shinkansen, both of which stop at Nagoya Station.
Once you arrive at Nagoya Station, transfer to a local train. You can take the Meitetsu Line, the local train to Higashi Okazaki Station. This will be your final destination.
Traveling from Kansai International Airport (KIX) to Okazaki by train involves several transfers and may take several hours. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Take the JR Kansai Airport Line (the name of the train is Haruka) to Shin-Osaka Station,
At Shin-Osaka Station, switch to the Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) bound for Tokyo or Nagoya.
Upon arrival at Nagoya Station, transfer to a local train bound for Higashi Okazaki. You can take the Meitetsu Line.
There are many notifications in the airport terminal, and train staff is helpful in guiding your way, so do not hesitate to ask them when you get lost.
