and it will be the first STATPHYS in Japan in 54 years since 1968. As many as 1,200 participants
will be expected to attend the conference.
Yokohama won the bid due to the tradition and high-level research on statistical physics in the
country as well as enthusiasm and a vision for the event expressed by a local committee chairedby Prof. T. Deguchi, Ochanomizu University. Moreover, superior advantages the city has to offer
as a conference venue was also highly appreciated, such as easy access from around the world
