The nearest railway station is Tokai-daigaku-mae Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line. From the South Exit of the station, we strongly recommend taking a bus or taxi to Tokai University Shonan Campus.

Access From Tokai-daigaku-mae Station to the campus:

1. By Taxi (Approx. 5–10 min): Strongly recommended for guests with luggage, guests arriving in hot weather, or guests unfamiliar with the campus. Ask the driver for “Tokai University Shonan Campus, Building 19”

2. By  Bus (Approx. 5 min. to campus bus stops): Recommended as a practical and inexpensive option. Take a local bus from the South Exit of Tokai-daigaku-mae Station and get off at either “Tokai University Kitamon” or “Tokai University 1-go-kan-mae.”

3. By Walking (Approx. 15 min. or more to the campus area): Possible, but not recommended during ICCRT2026. The route includes an uphill walk, Japan in August is typically extremely hot and humid, and additional walking is required inside the campus to reach Building 19.

Accommodation Recommendation (click for more details)

There are very few hotels within walking distance of Tokai University Shonan Cam- pus. We recommend staying near stations on the Odakyu Odawara Line.
For general convenience, Hon-Atsugi is the most recommended area, with several hotels and restaurants near the station. Ebina is also convenient, especially for guests who prefer an area with shopping facilities. For a quieter stay closer to the campus, Hadano or Isehara may be suitable.
Guests interested in a traditional Japanese hot-spring experience may consider stay- ing in Tsurumaki Onsen, which is next to Tokai-daigaku-mae Station on the Odakyu Line.
