Gala Dinner
Gala Dinner Overview
After gathering at the Grand Prince Hotel, the venue of the conference, we will have a pre-party at the “Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine”, located near Hiroshima Castle. Here, light refreshments and welcome drinks will be served, and participants will enjoy a samurai performance and ken-dama.
We will then move to "Hotel Granvia Hiroshima“, the main venue for the dinner near JR Hiroshima Station, where we will enjoy a seated buffet-style dinner and enjoy "Kagura“, a traditional performing art of Hiroshima.
That is all for the dinner, but for those who wish, we will also prepare for a drinking session in “Nagarekawa”, the famous downtown area of Hiroshima City (optional).
