After exiting from the customs area, follow signs for “Keikyu Line”. At Keikyu Haneda Airport Station,tell the person at the ticket counter that you would like to go to Mishima transferring to“Shinkansen” operated by “JR (Japan Railway) Line” at Shinagawa station. You will be asked
whether you want seat reservation on Shinkansen. Reserved seat ticket will cost 4,520 JPY for thenormal season (4,320 JPY for “off-period”/4,720 JPY for “busy period” depending on JR calendar) inaddition to 410 JPY from Haneda Airport station to Shinagawa station by Keikyu Line. Unreserved
seat ticket is about 500 JPY cheaper. (While one can usually find a seat without seat reservation,
after a long trip extra 500 JPY might be worth spending for your peace of mind.) Tickets can beprinted in English. For tickets with seat reservation, the train name, car number and seat number
are printed on the ticket. If you receive tickets printed in Japanese, you can ask for reissue of anEnglish version.
Although the person at the ticket counter should speak English, in case you have any problems you
can show one of the sentences below.

Trains to Shinagawa (and beyond) run every 10 minutes or so. It will take about 20 minutes toShinagawa, with several stops in between. The name of the next stop will appear in a signboard
above the door.

At Shinagawa station
You will be transferring from the "Keikyu line" to Shinkansen. Although these two lines arehoused in the same station building, their platforms are located at opposite ends of thebuilding, about 200m apart; be prepared for a >5-minute walk.
First you have to exit from the “Keikyu line” concourse. There are two exit gates. One is forpassengers who have a connection ticket to the JR line and the other is for those without it.
Escalators leading to the latter is closer to the front of the Keikyu train you just got off. Signs
to follow are “JR” and “Shinkansen”. Find the exit connected to JR Line and feed all tickets
stacked together (orientation/side insensitive), and pick up tickets that pop out from theother end of the gate. Then you will be walking along a wide corridor towards the opposite
end of the station. To reach Shinkansen platforms you will have to go through theShinkansen ticket gate. You will likely be taking one of the “Kodama” trains leaving
Shinagawa at XX:04 and XX:34. It will take 50 minutes to Mishima. Mishima is served by“Kodama” trains, which leave twice an hour. Only few of the "Hikari" trains stop at Mishima,and none of the “Nozomi” trains do. So make sure that you get on a train that stops atMishima.
Trains to Mishima leaves from either platform 23 or 24. Check the electric sign board thatshows the incoming trains and the platform numbers. Positions of the car numbers areindicated above the edge of the platform.

At Mishima station
Go down the stairs/escalator/elevator to the ground level. You will see two exit gates, one
facing the outside of the station building (called “North exit”), and another (to the right)
connecting to the “South exit” through an underground tunnel. Exit from the former gate (toyour left) and go outside of the station building. There is a taxi stand in front of the building.
On weekdays NIG operates free shuttle bus service between Mishima station and NIG. The
shuttle bus stop (No.4) is along the taxi rotary. Shuttle buses leave at XX:05, except that there isno service at 13:05 and 16:05. It will be a 20 minute ride to the NIG main building. Please notethat buses to other destinations also stop at No. 4. NIG shuttle bus is a grey mini van and will
