IRG52 will be held during May 9-13, 2021 in Numazu City, Japan. The two previous IRG conference in Japan were IRG22 in 1991 in Kyoto, and IRG32 in 2001 in Nara, both of which were World Heritage cities.
Why is this meeting in Numazu?
The answer is Mt. Fuji, the highest peak in Japan (3776m), which symbolizes Japan, has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, named "Mt. Fuji-the faith mount and the source of art". Numazu city is blessed with natural beauty, including a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji rising majestically over Suruga Bay. In addition, you can enjoy the Numazu fishing port, shops and restaurants, and the holy land of Anime.
Viewing highlights in the region around Numazu that you will visit include the Fuji Sengen shrine, the Fuji World Heritage Museum, Shiraito (thousands of streams) falls, the paved mountain road up towards Mt Fuji, and the Gotenba Restaurant and Brewery with all-you-can-eat & drink buffet.
