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).
