About Lodging
Rikuzentakata is still recovering from the disaster, and there is no big hotels. Please refer to the following information and book your accommodation as soon as possible. These places will prioritize the conference participants, so please make a reservation on the phone instead of on website. Especially for the presenters, chairpersons and debaters, please book it as soon as possible.
JASID will arrange shuttle service from the following hotels to the conference venue. Please refer to this link for the access to each hotel.
Much of the information is available only in Japanese. Please ask your supervisor or a friend for assistance if you cannot communicate in Japanese. If you have no one to rely on, you can contact the secretariat for assistance at: rikutaka20@gmail.com
(40 rooms. Since all the rooms are twin types, we recommend to use the rooms as twin-type, but you could also use them as single-type as well.)
The conference committee has reserved all the rooms, so when you book rooms on the phone, please mention that you’re the participant of the conference. The dinner reception will be held at this hotel as well.
2. I-room monthly hotel - I-room Rikuzentakata (within a 2km radius from the conference venue) - I-room Bonmax Takata (within a 5km radius from the conference venue)
For these two hotels, the conference committee has not reserved rooms, so please book individually as a general guest. Since the number of rooms available online is limited, we are advised to book rooms on the phone. Please let them know on the phone if you also need breakfast.
3. Hotel Sanyo
This hotel is also relatively close to the conference venue, and single rooms are available as well.
The rooms are mainly Japanese style. It is within 15min walking distance from the conference venue.
5. Others
- Other than these hotels, there is also Ofunato Onsen (mainly Japanese-style rooms, 15min drive from the conference venue). The conference committee does not provide shuttle service from this hotel, but if there will be enough people, the hotel would provide free shuttle service to the conference venue.
- If you are coming by car, we recommend you to stay in Ofunato or Kesennuma, but please note that the parking space at the conference venue is limited.
