Okinawa is located at the southern end of Japan and consists of many isolated islands. Okinawa is also known as “a paradise of eternal summer”. The accessibility to Okinawa islands is very good by air planes from main cities of Japan and of foreign countries. Okinawa (Naha Airport) has a lot of regular domestic flights from major international airports (Tokyo/Narita, Tokyo/Haneda, Nagoya/Chubu, Osaka/Kansai, Fukuoka, etc.) and international flights from Seoul, Busan, Beijng, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei and Taichung.
The main venue is the Southern Beach Hotel & Resort OKINAWA in ITOMAN city. The hotel is in the southern end of Okinawa island and approximately 10 kilometers from Naha Airport (20 minutes by car). Invited and contributed papers (oral and poster sessions) will be presented at this hotel.
We have also planned a special session for half a day of July 10, 2014, at the Bankoku Shinryoukan where is the north part of the Okinawa island.
