Visa Application

As the Japanese government requires a visa for visitors from a great number
of countries, we ask that you consult with the Japanese Foreign Ministry
Website (http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/02.html) to see if you will need a visa to enter Japan.
If your passport country of issue is not on this list, it will be necessary
for you to secure a visa.
We ask all participants who have yet to begin the procedures for obtaining a
visa to contact us immediately in order to ensure that you will be able to
attend the Congress. Please kindly contact us at the following address if
you have questions or are in need of a visa:
iahrreg@convention.co.jp

Now, Early Registration has closed; Registration Desk will not accept proposal of papers any further.

The Late Registration began on November 1. A Late Registration fee is 38,000 Japanese Yen for an ordinary participant, and 22,000 Japanese Yen for a student.

Please note that there is a misprint in the "REGISTRATION" page of the Second Circular. The correct fee for Late Registration is 38,000 Japanese yen, not 39,000 yen. The Congress Secretariat makes apologies for every inconvenience brought about by the misprint.

On-line Registration Form is available. Please see the page of Registration Form. It is also possible to reserve accommodations in Tokyo on line.
