Please note that Uber operates differently in Japan compared with many other countries. In Japan, Uber primarily connects passengers with licensed taxi services rather than private drivers using personal vehicles. Availability may vary depending on location and time.

Participants may also consider using local taxi-hailing applications, such as GO, which is one of the most commonly used taxi services in Japan.

The NUCB Undergraduate School’s Fushimi Campus is located near the NUCB Business School Marunouchi Tower Campus, the conference venue. Due to their proximity, the two locations are occasionally confused. Please confirm the venue location in advance using the provided Google Maps link and photo.
