  Fukuoka is a wonderful city to spend time in. It is located on Kyushu Island in the southwestern part of Japan, approximately 1000 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Fukuoka is a 90-minute flight from Tokyo, just over an hour from Seoul, 2 hours from Taipei and 4.5 hours from Beijing. Because of its central location, Fukuoka has been Japan’s gateway to other Asian countries over the millennia, and has many interesting sites that are influenced by the Asian continent. There are also many fine restaurants within and around Fukuoka, where you can enjoy Hakata (Fukuoka) cuisine and fresh locally-sourced seafood, meats, vegetables and fruits at reasonable prices.

  We are certain that you will enjoy stimulating discussions and have many memorable experiences in Fukuoka during your stay. The members of the secretariat of the 12th JSMO 2014 Annual Meeting look forward to welcoming you to Fukuoka in July of next year.
