26^th World Congress on Advanced Materials October 22-23, 2020 Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is Japan's capital and the world's most populated capital. It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, comprising of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns, and villages west of the city center. The Izu and Ogasawara Islands is also fragment of Tokyo. It has neon, skyscrapers, salaryman crowds, packed trains, cutting-edge planning, and futuristic technology. But it also consumes ancient shrines, plant-covered wooden houses, cycling grannies, old-school sweet shops and village-like lanes.

Tokyo is nirvana for foodies and has the world’s maximum volume of Michelin stars in a city. Shopping is additional highpoint – it’s worth carrying an empty suitcase to fill with hard-to-resist gadgets, trendsetting garments, and treasures from craft and design stores. And now there’s another reason to visit: the 2020 summer Olympics will take place in Tokyo. As a consequence, not only is the mood refreshingly upbeat, but a bundle of new growths, hotels, and infrastructure upgrades are in the pipeline.

With further than 12.5 million residents to entertain, Tokyo has a lot going on. Boasting the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Nature and Science, the Ueno Zoo, and the sprawling green space, Ueno Park is the special places to visit in Tokyo. Edo-Tokyo Museum and the Imperial Palace resembles the history of Tokyo. And no trip here would be complete without visiting some of Tokyo's Buddhist and Shinto sites like the Sensoji Temple and the Meiji Shrine.
