Hello there!
My name is Keita Miyamura, one of the committee members of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Internship Program, writing in behalf of our chair, Matsuyama-san.
As we get ready for SIGGRAPH Asia 2009, I would like to provide you with some hotel information around Pacifico Yokohama, where the conference will take place at. If you already have a place to stay during the conference, please disregard this messege.
First, here is a link to the official travel and housing information for the conference attendees.

We understand that many of you are still students, and might be looking for a cheaper accommodation. Here are two hotel/hostels we were found. They are both close to the conference site. FYI, Yokohama Heiwa Plaza Hotel is the hotel we chose to provide for the internees with housing.
