Transportation
We have set up a simple wiki page where participants may announce their arrival/departure flight and time and arrange to share transportation to/from Shonan together.

Access to Shonan Village
There are several routes from Tokyo area or Narita airport. In general, first move by a train to either Zushi (JR) or Shin-Zushi (Keikyu), and then take a bus or a taxi. For foreigners, we would recommend sharing a taxi from Zushi or Shin-Zushi. The train route/schedule can be searched by using the train route finder below.
