RIKEN-Hiroshima University Collaboration Research Facility
The RIKEN-Hiroshima University Collaboration Research Facility was established in March 2018 within the Hiroshima Central Science Park, a regional science and technology hub that maximizes the use of a well-established research environment supported by Hiroshima Prefecture and Higashihiroshima City. Here, RIKEN engages in collaborative research activities with organizations such as Hiroshima University, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and the National Research Institute of Brewing.

Route from Saijo Station to Research Facility
At Saijo Station (on the JR Sanyo Line), go out the south exit and walk to bus platform #7. Board the Chugoku JR bus bound for Kurose/Hiroshima Kokusai Daigaku/Hiro/Kure and get off at the Suigenchi-mae bus stop. The bus takes about 15 minutes and costs 260 yen.
At the Suigenchi-mae bus stop, cross to the west side of the Hiroshima Central Science Park entrance intersection, then continue west up a gentle slope (about 200m) toward the Science Park. Turn left after you pass the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) building.
