How far is the University of Tsukuba from central Tokyo?

Question:

Is it far? How many hours does it take to get there?

Answer:

From Akihabara, which is 2 stops on the Yamanote line from Tokyo Station, it is 45 minutes by express train to Tsukuba center. If you get the semi-express it takes52 minutes, and the local train takes 54 or 56 minutes - I forget which. From Tsukuba center, you can reach the Daigaku Chuo bus stop next to the main administration building in about 15 minutes by bus or bicycle.

Overall, probably 75 minutes from the University to Akihabara.
Tsukuba is 60KM from Tokyo.
