Getting to YIS

Take either Minatomirai/Toyoko Line or JR Negishi/Keihin Tohoku Line.
 

Minatomirai/Toyoko Line

The Minatomirai (MM) Line is connected to the Tokyu Toyoko Line, which runs from Shibuya Station in Tokyo via Yokohama Station to Motomachi-Chukagai Station, taking only 35 minutes by Limited Express. There are convenient connections from stations on the Toyoko Line to Hiroo and Roppongi, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and many other Tokyo locations. (See route map here).

Traveling to school, get off at Motomachi-Chukagai Station (in Japanese 元町中華街駅). The MM/Toyoko Line is especially convenient for those who live in areas such as Roppongi, Hiroo, Ebisu, Shibuya, Jiyugaoka, Denenchofu, etc.
