Regarding the Cultural Experience originally scheduled for the 13th:
NUCB will not organize a group excursion this year. Participants who would like to sightsee on November 13, or before or after the conference, can book directly with Sunrise Tours, operated by JTB, which offers English-guided day tours across Japan:

Booking and payment are made directly with Sunrise Tours. Mid-November is peak autumn-foliage season, so early booking is recommended. Prices vary by date, and booking deadlines range from one to four days before the tour. For a listing of suggested tours, please see the "Regarding the Cultural Experience originally scheduled for the 13th" section under the Program section on the conference webpage.
