| Accommodations
Many out-of-town participants may plan to stay with friends or at hotels in various parts of Tokyo. However, in order to have the best experience at JALTCALL 2000, it is suggested that you stay near the site in nearby Hachioji City, where discounted rates are available for conference participants. Travel time from central Tokyo to the conference site is at least an hour and a half, and this long commute could easily undermine one's enjoyment of the conference.
Within walking distance of JR Hachioji station there are several hotels in various price ranges. Information about some of them is listed on this page. We also list the name of an agency, Nikkan Travel Service, which has arranged JALTCALL shukuhaku plan(see the link below to the reservation application form) that provides discounts on regular hotel rates in Hachioji.. For all arrangements it is advisable to communicate in Japanese, as only the more expensive hotels tend to have English speaking staff. Nikkan Travel Service is accustomed to doing business with Japanese clients, but they have an English-speaking staff member who will be able to give some assistance to anyone who cannot make reservations in Japanese.
JALTCALL 2000 organizers and the Tokyo University of Technology have no official responsibility or endorsements for arranging accommodation for participants. The information on this page is provided merely for the assistance of those who plan to attend. Nikkan Travel Service is listed because of the university's past experience with the agency in arranging local accommodation for students taking entrance examinations. Because of their relations with local hotels, they have been able to arrange discounts for participants of the JALTCALL 2000 conference.
