How to reach Kyoto

There are two airports in Osaka, which can be used:

  • Kansai International Airport (KIX) – then a direct train from the airport to Kyoto Central Station
  • Itami Airport (ITM) – you need to change trains twice to reach Kyoto Central Station.

Itami Airport is mainly used for domestic flights and you might arrive here when you take a connecting flight from one of the two Tokyo International Airports.

From Kyoto Central Station you take a taxi to your hotel.

 

Programme

You will be able to visit some of the top locations and venues that Kyoto has to offer. We have been granted exclusive and extremely rare visiting opportunities to the Kyoto Imperial Palace and some of the Imperial Villas in and around Kyoto.

On Thursday 28th November 2013 a special dinner is organized for members of the Honours Programme. This superb example of what Kyoto’s cuisine has to offer will be served  in a stunning setting. This dinner is not included in the registration fee and you need to register for the dinner.

On Friday 29th November 2013 the 66th Fellowship Dinner will take place in the banquet hall of the Kyoto Hotel Okura.
