It will cost 1,500 JPY per person that includes the tickets to these shrines and a temple. The fee for this excursion is NOT included in the registration fee and will be paid on site by each of the participant. The payment will be acceptable only by cash in Japanese yen. You can register to the tour on the registration desk at your arrival.

March 13 (Tue) and 15 (Thu), afternoon: Bus excursion plans for accompanying persons

We arrange excursions for accompanying persons. These will provide an access to some places of scenic beauty and historic interest in Nikko area. It will cost 2,900 JPY and 1,900 JPY, respectively on Tuesday and Thursday (a half of the fee for a kid), which will be paid by the individual participants on site by JPY cash. One can register to the tours at the lobby of the conference venue by the evening of the day before the tours (where one can find more details on where to visit).

March 13 (Thu) and 16 (Fri): Dinner at the venue available at your cost

We noticed that there are not so many restaurants available for dinner around the venue. (In Nikko area most of tourists are conventionally supposed to have dinner at hotels they stay.) We will provide dinner at the venue on Tuesday and Friday at your cost (2,000 JPY per person per dinner, paid on site by JPY cash). You do not have to book for this in advance. There is however the maximum number for a practical reason, and it will be provided on first-come first-serve basis (in case you miss it, LOC will provide a list of nearby available restaurants).
