Climate
June is a good time to visit Kyoto - early summer not too hot but it could be rainy and humid. The temperature in June in Kyoto can range from 20-30 °C. We recommend you bring an umbrella with you, but you can easily buy one at about 500 yen.
Visa
The entry formalities for Japan vary according to the country of origin. Congress delegates are asked to address enquiries about entry and vaccination requirements to the local Japanese Embassy or Consulate in their home countries. Further information can be obtained on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html

The conference organisation will be pleased to send a formal letter of invitation to delegates requesting such a letter for visa purposes. It is understood that such an invitation is intended to help potential delegates to raise funds or to obtain a visa.
