Hi there. Japan has been in the beautiful season of SAKURA(cherry blossoms). They've already finished in Tokyo, however, they are at their best in bloom in Kansai. In the north part of Japan, they will bloom in the end of April. Enjoy the beautiful season in Japan!

By the way, CISA is now looking for willing writers of articles. This is because we are launching a new web media, which is to introduce the voices of international students to the Japanese society and is to connect international people living in Japan and the Japanese society. For further information or any questions, comment on it!

Thank you

Thanks for coming to Tokyo Kaigi 2014!
