Venue
Conference site
The WIRMS 2007 workshop site is the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center (http://www.yumebutai.org/english/index.html). Awaji Yumebutai is a resort complex that features beautiful seasonal flowers and greenery. ("Yumebutai" means "dream stage" in Japanese.) It is located close to the northern end of Awaji Island, where one can enjoy the spectacular landscape of Akashi Straits and Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It is the world's longest suspension bridge, which connects Awaji Island to Kobe on the main island of Japan. (There will be a cruising tour of Akashi Straits as a
part of WIRMS activities.) Kobe is one
of the major Japanese cities, and can
be reached easily from the major
airports and other areas of Japan.
Within an hour of bus/train ride from
Yumebutai, one can visit downtown
Kobe
for various attractions, or other
cities such as Himeji, best known for
the Himeji Castle designated as a
World Heritage by UNESCO. Detailed
information regarding the transportation
to Awaji Yumebutai can be found in the
Yumebutai web-site
.
