Visiting RIKEN by car

At Wako Campus, we are promoting the effective usage of parking and decreasing the number of cars entering RIKEN due to a shortage of parking spaces. Please read the following items (1 and 2) to understand the entry process and parking rules. We also encourage visitors to use public transport or to carpool, if at all possible. When parking your car on campus, please make sure to place the Parking Permit on the dashboard or somewhere in the car visible from outside.

1. Entry onto the premises for contract work, delivery, participating in competitive biddings or explanatory meetings for biddings

• Please apply for registration for entry at the guard station to receive a One-Day Entry Permit and Parking Permit.
• In principle, you must park your car in the designated area (see Wako Campus Parking Map) on campus and must not park on the streets.
  Note: An exception would be for visitors to park their vehicles for a short time anywhere on campus to deliver parcels or goods. (However, parking is not allowed in front of the main entrances of buildings. Parking in any one location is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes.)
• Vehicles for construction and other contract work are only allowed to be parked at the West Gate parking, South Gate Parking, and East Area Parking 2 (Wako Campus Parking MapM.) except when they are used for the work. Use of other parking spaces is not allowed.

2. Entry for interviews with RIKEN personnel or by request of RIKEN
