Procedures regarding the travel support
allowance on overseas business trip
1 Summary for travel expenses
Subaru Telescope offers travel support to visitors who work in
Japanese research institutes. The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) allows expenses
for a stay (a daily allowance, accommodation charges) and transportation
based on the departure and the arrival at the station closest to the
affiliated organization. The stay expense is allowed depends on the
status (wage level, degree) of one's self. Although all the fare for the
international airline is allowed, domestic transportation expenses is
calculated by NAOJ based on the
appropriate route.
*As hotel expense in Hilo is very high, your total expense may exceed the amount that NAOJ reimburses you. Please book cheaper accomodation by yourself, if possible.
Your travel expenses will be credited to your bank account. Please
make an account registration if you do not have bank account. Please
fill out the "Furikomi Iraisho" and send it to Ms. Suehiro, Subaru
Project via e-mail at
observers-infodesk@naoj.org. Apposition of a seal is not necessary.

2 Use charge of Hale Pohaku
Because Subaru Telescope pays for the use of Hale Pohaku,
accommodation fee and a daily allowance during the stay at Hale
Pohaku are not paid to the visitor as travel expenses.
3 Arrangements of airline ticket
Please make a reservation and payment for the airline ticket on your
own (please defray it). You can purchase the ticket from any travel
companies, but please choose the one that can issue the estimate, the
schedule, and the receipt. Because the airline ticket that can be
changed many times would be expensive, please choose a ticket that is
not changeable or the one that can be changed only once for returning
flight (you may hang the alteration charge). You will be able to book
your flight on any website, however, you need to submit a copy of
e-ticket. If you use "Expedia", you need to request a receipt. In case you change your
daily schedule, special procedure will be needed.

should be your name not the "National Astronomical Observatory of
Japan".

8 Advance payment of travel expenses
If you wish to receive your travel expenses before your departure,
the advance payment is available. However, your travel schedule must be
set in concrete a month before your departure. Changing your schedule
and adjusting an account after the trip will affect the operation and
decrease the efficiency; therefore, please avoid rescheduling. (please
consider that rescheduling is substantively impossible.)
Please submit the original flight estimate and the original itinerary to
Ms. Suehiro, Subaru Project by one month before your departure and request for advance payment for
travel expenses. Please submit the airfare receipt to Ms. Suehiro,
