CONFERENCE SITE
The World Convention Center Summit is adjacent to the Phoenix Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki, in the South Eastern corner of the island of Kyushu (the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan). Miyazaki has a warm climate throughout the year, with the temperate currents from the Pacific Ocean giving it a relaxed tropi- cal environment. From ancient times, the long sweeps of its scenic coastline have been well-known as the most popular destination for honeymooners in Japan. A mild climate attracts various sports lov- ers, golfers, surfers, swimmers and other field game players throughout the year. Miyazaki's numerous charms make it an ideal convention site for visitors. There are many flights (domestic and international) to Miyazaki Airport, which is connected with Miyazaki's downtown area by train (10 minutes) or airport shuttle bus (25 minutes). For more information please refer to the following websites.
