There are two airports to access the IPMU, Narita airport and Haneda airport. Please not be confused and choose a correct way. TX Kashiwa-no-ha campus station is a different station from Kashiwa station (JR). We recommend you to get off Kashiwa station, then from Kashiwa station you need to ride a bus. Though TX Kashiwa-no-ha campus station is nearer to the meeting place, there is no hotel around there and you still need a bus. 

 

Please find a way to the airport to the station and then to the campus by bus.
