REGISTRATION INQUIRIES
Make use of your time in Japan and spend two days in the magical Hokkaido region and explore Lake Akan after the Forum.
The lake is located in Kushiro City, Hokkaido, within the Akan-Mashu National Park and is registered under the Ramsar Convention. The Ainu Kotan on the shores of Lake Akan is where the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, live and welcome visitors with their own stores.
Participants will enjoy a traditional Ainu dance performance at the Ainu Kotan and stay overnight at Lake Akan Onsen Hot Springs. The next day, participants will be able to see wild red-crowned cranes as they gather around the national park during the winter, a special natural treasure of Japan.
Application deadline: January 31st, 2023.
Start the day early after the Forum with a tour of Tokyo on March 7th, 2023.
The famed Tsukiji Market moved in October 2018 to Toyosu, reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. The new Toyosu Market is almost twice the size of Tsukiji, making it the biggest fish market in the world. Entry is free, and visitors can still see the famous tuna auctions, buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the adjoining produce market and enjoy a breakfast of super fresh sushi at one of the complex restaurants, which moved over from Tsukiji.
After the Tsukiji Market, participants will head to the vast Kokyo Gaien National Garden Nijubashi Bridge. The excursion ends on a lunch cruise, departing from Hinode Pier for a scenic tour of Tokyo. Enjoy your lunch while soaking in the dynamic Tokyo skyline.
Application deadline: February 10th, 2023.
