We will take a charter bus to the museum, leaving the university at 2:00 p.m., and have about two hours to look around the museum. After the museum tour, another bus is arranged to take you to nearby Sakae Station at around 6:00 p.m. You will be free after then. The Sakae area is the most popular downtown in Nagoya, where many of you are likely to stay nearby and can easily find restaurants and bars.
