Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku,Tokyo, 170-8630 Access: 10 minute walk
from Ikebukuro Station on JR or Marunouchi Line subway, or 4 minutes
walk from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station on Yurakucho subway line.
Who Attends the Fair
About 1,400 visitors attended the Tokyo Fair in 2004. Most were self-sponsored
potential undergraduate freshmen, transfers, and graduate students. Tokyo
is the center of the world's second largest economy.
Important:
Because of the smaller hall capacity this year, Tokyo fair participation
will be limited to 50 booths. We are negotiating with non-profit multipliers
in Kyoto, and one or two other cities for us to have space for catalog distribution
in their study abroad events (one Kyoto event had 900 attendees last year).
If we finalize these partnerships, catalog distribution opportunities in these
cities will be given to the participants who have completed registration for
any two of our fairs in Japan.
