People in Japan may need minimum once every two years to visit the nearest regional immigration bureau for many reasons. So I would like today to show you some way how to reach to it.

If you are comming from Kokubunji station, this is the JR line information:

If you are comming from Akihabara station, this is the JR line information:

If you are comming from Tokyo station, this is the JR line information:

When you arrive to shinagawa station, use the East exit and take left to the bus station. Reach to bus stop number 8 and take the bus to immigration bureau. When you step in the bus you need to pay 200yen, so prepare it in advance because the queue will be very long.

I participated in RO-MAN 2009 held at Toyama International Conference Center. It was very good and interesting.

The number of accepted paper is 160 paper.
Toyama is a beautiful city and the International Conference Center was just in front of a magnificent castle.

It is my first time to join an IEEE conference and I am pretty impressed of the organization and the banquet.
In the banquet, there were 3 or 4 shows of traditional Japanese songs and dances. We had a very long speech of organizers. They kept us waiting for an hour in front of the food without letting us touch it.
