Conference Dinner

Join us for the Conference Dinner at Heian Jingu Shrine Restaurant & Banquet Hall S’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre on Tuesday, 9September 2025, for the opportunity to network in a relaxed environment.

Heian Jingu Shrine Restaurant & Banquet Hall is located within the shrine grounds of the Heian Jingu Shrine, one of the most famous and prestigious shrines in Japan, built in 1895 for the 1,100^th anniversary of the relocation of the capital city to Heiankyo. The interior boasts traditional Japanese architecture and amazing views of the scenic Shin-en Garden. The garden was designed by the Japanese Government as a ‘Place of Scenic Beauty’. In contrast to the magnificent image of the vermilion shrine gate (torii) and gorgeous shrine buildings of the Heian Jingu Shrine, the view of the vast garden gives the venue a calm and quiet atmosphere.

Tickets are priced at US$70 + VAT 10% = US$77 and include:

A sit-down meal
Wine, beer and soft drinks
Shrine garden stroll before the meal

Please make us aware of any dietary requirements upon registering.
