WHY JAPAN?

Next time you are planning a special event or meeting, come to Japan, where world-class hospitality awaits. Here are some additional reasons to consider Japan:

Unique Meeting and Event Venues – Small events or large gatherings, Japan has a proven track record of successfully handling the most ambitious meetings and events. In 2012, one of the world’s largest meetings, the Annual Meeting of the IMF and World Bank Group, came to Tokyo with more than 10,000 delegates. Kintetsu’s network of contacts at local convention bureaus, professional congress organizers and DMCs bring an unsurpassed level of professionalism to all events hosted here.

Global Center For Education and Academics and Research – There’s no place better to learn or to do research than in Japan. Japan’s education system played a central part in Japan’s recovery and rapid economic growth in the decades following the end of World War II. The country has long been a powerhouse for development in many industries, from engineering and pharmaceuticals to robotics. 22 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, physics and medicine hold testament to Japan’s spirit for research and quest for advancement in the 21st Century.

A Continent of Activity on a Small Island

With this huge geographic diversity comes an abundance of destinations and activities available to visitors, including meeting and incentive participants.
