More detailed timetables are here:
for weekdays,
for Saturdays and Sundays.
See the map of OUS.
You get off the bus at "Okayama-Rika-Daigaku" (OUS) bus stop. Almost everyone gets off the bus here.
Then use escalators to go up the hill.
At the top of the hill, across a roundabout (= a traffic circle), you will see a red bridge.
On January 9, the talks will be given in the building marked with number 2 in orange circle
which is located to the left of the red bridge.
Use the stairs to go up to the 4th floor, and look for Room 10241.
See Rm10241.pdf for a map inside the buiding.
On January 10 and 11, you walk across the red bridge, use an elevator to go down to the 1st floor
(ground floor), exit from the other side of the building, turn to the right, and the building you see
on your right is Building 21. This is where the talks will be given on Saturday and Sunday.
Walk around the building to find the entrance of the building.
When you enter the building,
the room 22115 can be found on your right.
