Since the devastating earthquake struck the Tohoku area of Japan, people
are starting to take small steps to get their lives back to normal. We
realize that there still remain concerns about the Fukushima nuclear power
plant, but Kobe, where the meeting will be held, is about 600 km away from
Fukushima, and we will continue to monitor the events that follow. Please
check the Japan National Tourism Organization link for additional updates.

About Kobe |
The city of Kobe is located in the Western part of Japan in a unique setting between the Rokko Mountains and the Inland Sea.
The city's port has historically played an importat role in opening Japan up to international influence and the city retains a cosmopolitan and sophisticated air to this day. In addition to a bustling Chinatown and the more relaxed historical foreign settlement, there are a number of famous hot springs to the north of the city.
Japan's renowned public transport system also means that Kobe is within easy reach to the ancient capitals of Kyot and Nara, which contain over 1,000 historical temples and shrines.
