Japan.  Hotel accommodations are being arranged close to the Kyoto Research 
Park. 


OFFICIAL TRAVEL AGENT 
	Japan Travel Bureau, Inc.(JTB) has been appointed as the official travel
agent for the conference to handle conference registrations,  hotel 
accommodations, accompanying persons' programs and tours in Kyoto should be 
addressed to

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND TRAVELERS CHECKS
	It is recommended that participants purchase travelers checks in 
Japanese Yen or U.S. Dollars before leaving their own countries. The Secretariat
will accept only Japanese Yen in cash. Foreign currency exchange is available at
the banks in the New Tokyo International Airport, the Osaka International 
Airport, and also at major hotels.

CLIMATE AND CLOTHING
	The climate in Kyoto in October is generally pleasant, the average 
temperature being 63F (17C). Participants are advised to being a light sweater 
or raincoat since it can become chilly at night or when it rains.

KYOTO
	The ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto nestles among picturesque mountains 
and placid waters. Since its establishment as the seat of the imperial court 
late in the 8th century, the city has prospered as a center of polities, 
economy, culture, and arts. With its innumerable cultural treasures and its 
traditional crafts, Kyoto has never ceased to attract visitors from around Japan
and throughout the world. Today it is a modern metropolis with an international 
flavor; indeed, perhaps nowhere else in Japan can one so easily encounter the 
past in the midst of an urban culture so eagerly preparing for the 21st century.

ACCESS TO KYOTO
	Transportation to Kyoto from abroad is diagramed below : The most 
convenient and economical means is to take the direct flight to Osaka 
International Airport, where Airport limousines which depart every 20 min. , can
reach Kyoto in one hour. The participants who arrive at New Tokyo International 
Airport (Narita) have a choice of the following three ways :

	1. Take a domestic flight to Osaka from Narita, though there are few 
flights available.
	2. Take a domestic flight to Osaka from Haneda, following a 2-hour 
airport limousine transfer from Narita. About 15 flights are available from 
Haneda to Osaka each day.
	3. Take a bullet train (Shinkansen) to Kyoto from Tokyo. Trains leave 
every 15 min. and take 3 hours to reach Kyoto station.
	( Airport limousines are available from Narita to Tokyo Station, 100 
min. )

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
	A sufficient number of rooms have reserved at Kyoto Tokyu Hotel in 
Kyoto. Reservation should be made by completing and returning the attached 
application form, indicating the class and number of rooms desired. No 
reservation will be confirmed in the absence of a deposit ( \10,000 per person 
).
	Hotel assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.

	Daily room charges are as follows :
	Name of Hotel	Class		Room Charge
				Twin/Bath	Single/Bath
			  A	23,000		14,500
	Kyoto Tokyu Hotel B	21,000		12,000
			  C			11,000

	* The above rates include tax, service charges and breakfast.

CANCELLATION
	In the case of hotel cancellation, written notification should be sent 
to JTB. The deposit will be refunded after deducting the following cancellation 
charges.
	When the notification is reserved by JTB :
	    Up to 9 days before the first night of stay	- \1,000
	    2 - 8 days before				- 50% of daily room
						   rate
