Hidden Mysteries of Japan 16th – 23rd April 2016

Tokyo (4 nights) Tokyo is often referred to and thought of as a city, but is officially known and governed as a "metropolitan prefecture", which differs from and combines elements of both a city and a prefecture; a characteristic unique to Tokyo. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.

Kyoto (4 nights) Kyoto is located in the central part of the island of Honshu and has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is now the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region. It is famous for being known as the City of Ten Thousand Shrines.

Invitation I would like to invite you to join me for a memorable 8 day travel medicine conference in Japan.

A travel medicine conference that combines the beauty of travel with continuing medical education in one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.

This conference is about both the journey and the destination.

Worldwise Travellers Health has an enviable reputation for providing high quality travel medicine education for health professionals and this trip is no exception.

I believe the educational programme expertly utilises the skills and knowledge of the presenters I have chosen to deliver exceptional results.

Please join me in this exotic location
