  NH2019 Attend

You are welcome to attend without sending me an e-mail, but I would appreciate telling me beforehand in order for me to estimate the number of people at the party. The attendance itself is free, but we may ask you to pay 1000~2000 yen for the drinks at the party. Sorry, we cannot support any travel expenses.

Wireless connection

For those who have a UTokyo-Wifi account or an eduroam account, both are available everywhere. For those who don't, use the SSID named UTokyo-guest , which is actually "FREE-WIFI PASSPORT" service provided by SoftBank.
