For those arriving by train

◆Nearest Station: JR Joban Line Katsuta Station (A paid shuttle bus operates between Katsuta Station and the venue)

• It takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes by limited express train or approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes by local train from Ueno Station.
• A shuttle bus is scheduled to run between Katsuta Station and the venue. (Fee applies)
• Train frequencies are limited in both the Tokyo and Iwaki directions, and heavy crowding is expected. Please check the timetable in advance before coming.
• It will take some time for everyone to exit the venue after the performance ends, so if you plan to use JR, please allow plenty of time for your journey.
• Passengers using Suica or other transportation IC cards should be careful not to run out of credit. We ask for your cooperation in purchasing a ticket to the station nearest the venue in advance before boarding.
• JR Katsuta Station has only one fare adjustment machine, so it becomes very crowded with passengers settling fare differences for over-distance travel or recharging their IC cards. Please be sure to purchase your ticket or add funds to your IC card in advance.
• When using limited express trains, in addition to your ticket or transportation IC card, you will need a paper limited express ticket or a conventional line ticketless limited express ticket.
