| With the generous cooperation of a number of religious
organizations, the Congress Secretariat plans to provide "homestay"
opportunities at local religious facilities. The Secretariat believes
that this will be an economical means of lodging and also allow participants
from abroad to experience modern Japanese religion firsthand. We ask
that you carefully read and agree to all stipulations (see below)
before applying. Please note that we cannot guarantee homestays for
all participants, as there is a limited amount of space. The Congress
Secretariat reserves the right to make all final decisions concerning
the allocation of homestays. Although it is our goal to consider all
applications in the fairest and most comprehensive matter possible
(order in which application was received, etc.), we ask that all participants
kindly respect the finality of the Secretariat's decision. We also
ask that you make reservations with a local hotel in the event that
we cannot provide you with a homestay. |
Brief Overview of Lodging Facilities
The following religious organizations have agreed
to provide lodging for Congress participants: Higashi- and Nishi-Hongwanji,
Tenrikyo, Konkokyo, Rissho Kosei-Kai. Please note that although it
may be possible to tour these facilities, there is no requirement
that lodgers must participate in matters of a religious nature. Also,
most rooms are Japanese-style (tatami mat) and use futons for bedding.
Likewise, most shower and toilet facilities are communal.
In general, all facilities are within one hour of the Congress site
(Takanawa Prince Hotel, Shinagawa).
Participants are expected to cover their own travel expenses (train,
bus, etc.) to and from the Congress site.

Rules Concerning Lodging
|
All homestay participants are expected to follow the individual
rules and regulations of each facility. Only breakfast (optional)
will be provided (note that there are some facilities that are not
equipped to provide breakfast). English will be the main language
of communication at these facilities. Some facilities may have set
times when breakfast is served or when bathing/showering can be
done. Please be conscientious in following these rules. The Congress
Secretariat will provide a student interpretor in the event that
it is deemed necessary to give a detailed explanation of the rules
and procedures of a given facility.
Lodging fees differ depending on the facility and the type of room
you have requested. We expect that a single night's stay (w/ breakfast)
will cost somewhere between 2000-3000 Yen.
Special preference will be given to participants who request lodging
for the duration of the entire Congress. In some cases, stays of
shorter lengths may be possible.
In the unforeseen event that some sort of trouble or emergency occurs,
we ask that you work directly with the management at the facility.
However, the Congress Secretariat will assist in the event that
such assistance is necessary.
