JIGG`s 20th Anniversary KevCon 2011 – Goldenweek May 3rd-5th
1991-2011
It is hard to believe that KevCon has been going on for 20 years!
Am I that old?
Celebrate with me in a beautiful part of Japan. Make new friends and play some games. If you come to one game event this year, Don`t miss this!
For those who have come before I welcome you back, and for those who have never been to a KevCon, I invite you to experience a little JIGG tradition.
Cost: No entrance fee! Free always!

I encourage game lovers from far and wide to attend. It is worth the trip. We have had
people come from Kyushu and Niigata for KevCon.
Play games in a riverside cottage in Minamiashigara City, Kanagawa.
Get away from the city and enjoy fresh air and views of Mount Fuji. We are located 70 metres from the Kari River.

What to bring?
Any games you`d like to play plus a sleeping bag.
There is one bed available on a first come first served basis.
Email me if you want the bed. If not bring something to sleep on–sleeping
bag etc. We have a lot of room.
Amenities Nearby:
There is a restaurant next door, several more nearby, and there is a large supermarket across the
street. The train station is just a 3 minute walk away!
How to Get There from Tokyo, Fujisawa, Atsugi, Machida, Yokohama:
From Shinjuku Station catch an Odakyu Line train bound for Odawara.
So take the Odakyu Line to Odawara. Take a Kyuko (express
train) it has red kanji on the side usually next to the door up top.
It takes about 90 minutes. Bring a good book! Be sure that your
train goes to Odawara and not Fujisawa.
Get off at Odawara Station and transfer to the Daiyuzan Line. Get off
at Iiwahara Station, it takes 10 minutes from Odawara. Take the only
exit, cross the train tracks, turn left at the first street, walk straight and you will
see a cottage like white and brown, house that looks like it came out of a cowboy movie.
We have our store Merry Lue on the first floor and our school and apartment on the second floor.
Come up to the 2nd floor. That is where we will play and sleep.
How to Get There from: Shizuoka, Nagoya and other points South:
Take the Tokaido line or the Shinkansen and get off at Odawara. Transfer to
the Daiyuzan line and follow the directions above (for Tokyo).
**The Shinkansen also stops at Odawara. You take a Kodama Super
Express. It takes about 39 minutes from Tokyo. Costs a little over
3,000 Yen one way.
Take a break from the city and see some mountain views and breathe some fresh
air.
Feel free to pass this on to interested people. Games of all kinds
welcome. Bring whatever you would like to play, chances are, others
will want to play it too. Bring a sleeping bag if you`d like. It is a nice area as well.
A great break from wherever you live with a great bunch of people!
I have literally hundreds of games. Most of which I have never played.
