Accommodation information

Around the conference site, there are sufficiently many hotels with different tastes each other. RDP'05 officials prepare for the conference participants two categories of the hotels, depending upon the the reservation procedures.

(A) Hotels with the reservation support by travel agency JTB,
(B) hotels without the reservation support  by  conference officials.

There are five hotels in the category (A) whose price range of a single room (en suite) is 6,825 - 9,450 JPY per night. The list of hotels is found in the "Hotel Reservation Procedure" in the conference registration page.

Additional Information (3 March 2005): The online booking system for category (A) hotels cannot handle the hotel reservation before 17th or after 24th April. If you are willing to stay at the same hotel beyond the period of 17th-24th, please proceed as follows:
(i) first book your room within the period of 17th-24th using the online system, and then
(ii) send your request (of extending the term of your stay beyond the period of 17th-24th) by email to JTB (j-click@jtb.co.jp) and cc to the organizers.

Those who choose the hotel reservation without local assistance (category (B)), please follow the instruction below. Hotel fees at this plan are cheaper than any other hotel in the category (A).
