NOTES 注意事項

The venue has been changed to Hakata International Exhibition Hall & Conference Center.
It is located between Fukuoka Airport and Hakata Station, about a 13-minute walk from the Chikushi Exit (Shinkansen Exit) of Hakata Station.

For details, please refer to "Access" on the TOP page.

Please note that this is not the "Hakata International Conference Center," which has a similar name.
Hakata International Exhibition Hall & Conference Center" is a newly built facility, so its name is not yet well known to the general public.

When taking a cab, etc., please tell the driver to say "Toko's Hakata International Exhibition Hall".

In consideration of various circumstances, admission tickets and seminar tickets (master class) will be sold only on the official website from this time onward.

For the Kagoshima 4 Distilleries TOUR, please visit JTB's website to complete the procedures. Tickets will not be sold on the day of the event.

The original plan was to allow only you to purchase tickets, but it has been changed to [Up to 5 tickets per person].

However, only the person who purchased the admission ticket can apply for the PB lottery.
Even if one person purchases tickets for 5 people, only that one person can apply for the PB lottery, and the other 4 people cannot.

Therefore, those who wish to purchase a PB ticket must purchase one ticket for themselves.
Please see the "Ticket" and "Seminar" pages for details.
