2.Visa

Those who do not live in Japan and do not have a Japanese passport are currently required to obtain a VISA. With the assistance of a travel agency, we will help you to prepare the documents that are necessary for your visa application with the purpose of entry being restricted to on-site participation in Localisation 2022 in Sapporo. you are required to pay a fee of 11,000 Japanese yen, in addition to the registration fee, in cash at the on-site registration desk.

The organizers emphasize that Japan is not yet granting tourist visas to individuals. Please refrain from planning activities unrelated with scientific and or academic purposes during your visit. For example, if you include sightseeing in your itinerary, there is a possibility that your visa application will be rejected. We will take no responsibility in such cases.

Relating to the above, it is very difficult to obtain visas for accompanying persons. So, regretfully, we have decided not to accept any accompanying persons.

3.During your stay in Japan

The organizers have to ask you to wear a mask. We also have to check your temperature, and we have to ask you to use a hand sanitizer, before entering the conference hall and poster room every day. We note that in Japan, currently, most people wear a mask not only inside but also outside.
