International Symposium on Data Science (DSWS-2023)- Building an Open Data Collaborative Network in the Asia-Oceania Area -Accommodation and Dining: As there are many hotels around central Tokyo area, participants are recommended to make their own reservations for theiraccommodation.
 The LOC is ready to reserve several rooms for invited speakers and foreign participants in “Asia Center Hotel of Japan” located about
10 minutes’ walk in north-west direction from the Science Council of Japan.
 There are many restaurants around Nogisaka & Roppongi area and the Science Council of Japan. Lunch will not be served at theconference venue; therefore, delegates of the conference are recommended to use the restaurants in the vicinity of the ScienceCouncil of Japan. (i.e., the restraint inside “The National Art Center”, just beside the SCJ)
 A good resource for identifying the “halal” restaurants in Tokyo can be found here:
It also seems to have an option for scanning for vegetarian menu when necessary.
