Venue

  The conference site, ACROS Fukuoka, is located in the center of Fukuoka city, and is directly connected to the city subway both from Fukuoka Airport and JR Hakata Station.Fukuoka is located in the northern part of Kyushu Island, the southwest island of the four main islands of Japan. Fukuoka is the economic, administrative and cultural center of Kyushu.Being close to the Asian continent, Fukuoka has been an important hub of international exchange from ancient times. Fukuoka is a modern city, preserving still a lot of places of cultural and historic interest. The city is surrounded by sea to the north and mountains to the south and is blessed with a plentiful natural habitat. Fukuoka is popular for sightseeing and is visited by a large number of tourists throughout the year.Fukuoka is also a gateway to Kyushu Island which is well known of her beautiful natural scenery with two active volcanoes, numerous

hot-spring resorts and cultural sites.The average temperature in Fukuoka is around 25 degrees Celsius (76 degrees Fahrenheit) in September.
