Transportation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
From Fukuoka International Airport

When you arrive at Fukuoka International Airport, please find a sign
indicating an exit to the subway station.  From Fukuokakuko (meaning
``Fukuoka Airport'' in Japanese) you can take any train to
Nakasu-Kawabata.  Please change the trains from Kuko Line to Hakozaki
Line here, and take a train bound for Kaizuka.  Fukuoka Recent Hotel,
where the symposium is to be held, is located near Hakozaki-Miyamae
subway station.  It takes 20 - 25 minutes from Fukuokakuko to
Hakozaki-Miyamae.  The fare is 260 Yen.  It takes about 5 minutes on
foot from Exit No. 3 of Hakozaki-Miyamae to Fukuoka Recent Hotel.

From JR Hakata Station

If you arrive in somewhere outside Fukuoka and move to Fukuoka by
train, you will arrive at JR (Japan Railway Co., Ltd.) Hakata Station.
This JR station is close to Hakata subway station.  Hakata subway
station is located between Fukuokakuko and Nakasu-Kawabata mentioned
above.  It takes 15 - 20 minutes from Hakata to Hakozaki-Miyamae.  The
fare is 220 Yen.

From Downtown

If you stay at a hotel in downtown, you can walk to Tenjin subway
station.  Note that some trains do not go to Hakozaki-Miyamae.  In
that case, you must change the trains at Nakasu-Kawabata. It takes 12
- 15 minutes from Tenjin to Hakozaki-Miyamae. The fare is 220 Yen.

Taxi

Fukuoka International Airport, JR Hakata Station, and downtown
(Tenjin) are all located within about 1,500 Yen range by taxi.  


Climate 
^^^^^^^ 
September in Fukuoka is usually warm, with the average high
temperature at 27.8 degrees Centigrade (about 82 degrees Fahrenheit)
and low at 20.1C (about 68F).  However, it grows cooler and cooler in
this season of the year.  A sweater or a thin jacket should be packed
in case we have a cool night or a rainy day.
