GSAPS is located in Nishi-Waseda, on the north side of the main campus area. It is much easier to reach the building by walking around the campus, rather than by going through it. Here is the recommended route from the nearest station, Waseda Station on the Tōzai Line (subway). There will be conference posters to guide you to the venue, but we recommend that you print out this page.

Take the Tōzai Line (subway) to Waseda station.

If you are coming from JR Iidabashi Station on the Chuo Line, or from Tokyo Station, follow the signs to the Tōzai Line and take the subway to Waseda station. Leave Waseda subway station by the exit at the front of the train, Exit 2. Take the stairs to the street level and turn left. Walk to the corner, turn right and cross over to the corner with the large soba restaurant. Then turn left at the traffic lights, crossing over a side street, up the hill.
If you are coming from Shinjuku or other locations on the Yamanote Line, it may be convenient to go via JR Takadanoba Station. Transfer to the Tōzai Line at Takadanoba. Go one stop to Waseda Station, leaving by the rear of the train. Go out of the station by Exit 3b. Turn right at street level and walk to the corner, where you will see a large soba restaurant at the lights. Continue in the same direction, across the side street, up the hill.

View of the crossing with Soba restaurant on right. This corner is marked 1 on the map below. Waseda Campus is down the side street to the right, but you should cross the side street and continue on up the hill following the main road ("Waseda-dōri").

When you come to the second set of traffic lights, turn right onto the larger street (see photo below). This corner is marked "2" on both maps below (map 1 | map 2).

Go down the wide street with two lanes of traffic in each direction. Walk on the right side of the street for 100 meters, heading in the direction of the tall buildings.

The conference venue, GSAPS, the second large building on your right, after a tall apartment building (see photo below). This location is marked "3" on the map below.

GSAPS is the first building here on the right, with columns by the entrance, marked "4" on the map below. Look for the ASCJ poster outside. When you enter, take an elevator to the seventh floor and follow the signs to the "Registration" (Room 711).
