Take the Chūō Main Line from Shinjuku to Hachioji.  It take between 45 and 90 mins depending upon whether you get a fast or slow train - I never know what I am doing so I just get the first one that comes along.  Once in Hachioji you will need to grab a taxi.  It is about a 15 minute taxi ride and don't expect the taxi driver to have a clue where you are going 

Best to print out the Kanji address as per here and show that to the taxi driver:

I'm planning on a visit there probably end of the year. would like to check, do the guys over there speak english well? reckon they would have picked up a couple of lessons from G&P yeah?

the last time I went Tokyo, I had problems communicating with some stores cos they either can't speak english or it's quite basic that it makes it hard to get any message across.

[Giles]

Not many actually speak English.  Gon can talk reasonably well and they all understand simple stuff….

[crankyfart]

alright that sound great. but are the pricing the same with yours? or they differ?

btw, I'm just curious. so G you and P can speak very fluent Japanese? else how do you both communicate with H?

[Giles]

They are cheaper.  No, when we go we have to have a translator…

[Snowy]

removing post to keep things correct for future visitors.

[Giles]

It is the correct address, maybe it gets stuffed when you translate…..

Ah so it is. Translate messes it. Thanks again.

Anyone knows any good sights, foods or places to go near the IHHQ?

[Snowy]

Not too much in the area from what I saw when there. Am the guys there could get you taken some where (they are as lovely as everyone here, says. (Please pass on a hello to them for/from me)).

What Giles has said about the taxi drivers, a) not speaking/reading english, and b) not having a clue where you're going is 100% correct. I ended up around the corner @ a temple (1 minute walk away), he was sure I wanted the temple not IH-HQ.

"192-0024
東京都八王子市宇津木町733-19"

Is what I showed the taxi driver when @ Hachioji station. Cost about $20USD each way.

[Snowy]

The peeps there are okay with english. I managed to communicate what I was trying to get across without too much effort…..

We had the adventure of a lifetime when me and my wife decided to take the bus from Hachioji station to IHHQ in 2011. Got off at the wrong stop and wandered around for some time before we found a motorcycle shop and the guys there knew where we heading and printed out maps and stuff for us. They spoke as much english as we did japanese but everything worked out fine in the end

[Snowy]

Yeah, I figured I could make it via bus (working iPhone+Maps = godsend), but felt the safety/knowing of a $40 round trip taxi out-weighed the bus :). Sounds like it was the right call. Glad you made it

[Finn666]

wow…great purchases buddy! the prices are sick though...

[Seul]

Great stuff supersalami!.. Massively stoked for ya!..

[davito]

Super supersalami what a trip and purchases. Looking forward seeing u with ur dad in some pics if possible congrats

[louisbosco]

Has anyone tried to take a bus there? Would anyone care to share any bus numbers besides taking a cab

[Giles]

Don't even try…...

[Giles]

It does not cost that much and if you flirt outrageously with Gon, she'll give you a lift back to the station….
