VENUE

YRP (Yokosuka Research Park), located in the middle of Japan, has developed into a mobile telecommunications research park such as cannot be found anywhere else in the world with over 40 advanced research institutions from all over the world. Train access to pass through Tokyo and Yokohama from Narita airport is available.

 

VISA

Participants requiring a visa should apply to the local embassy or consulate of Japan on their own responsibility as possible. Remember that, in some countries, it can take more than three months to get the visa.
