Venue & Access

Due to the extension of priority measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the 33rd ISTS  will be held online, so this program will also be canceled. That would be unfortunate but please use it by all means when you come to Beppu.

How to get from Oita Airport to Beppu

Oita Airport is located in Kunisaki City, Oita Prefecture, and from there you can use the Airport Limited Express Bus ‘Airliner’ to get to Beppu City. The bus takes about 50 minutes. There is also an ‘Airliner’ that goes to Oita City without stopping at Beppu Station, so if you get that bus you should get off at the Kitahama Bus Center. You can also get to Beppu in the same amount of time by taking a taxi or rental car.

     From Haneda Airport to Oita Airport : 1 hour 40 minutes
