CONFERENCE SITE
The Sapporo Convention Center is conveniently situated close toHigashi-Sapporo subway station in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido,
Japan’s northernmost island. Sapporo, the fifth largest city in Japan,
offers the advantages of big-city living together with beautiful naturalenvironment and many local delicacies. Hot spas, mountain climbing,
camping, and after-work skiing are just as common as afternoon tea in adowntown cafe. Sapporo’s numerous charms make it an ideal
convention site for you and your traveling companions.

The title is tentative.
An additional talk is being arranged.

Invited Address

There are many flights (domestic and international) to Sapporo’s New
Chitose Airport, which is connected with Sapporo’s downtown areaby rapid-service trains (35 minutes) or airport shuttle buses (70minutes). An extensive public transport system is well developed in
Sapporo making traveling the city and the surrounding areas fun andeasy.
