Registration

This form is to be filled out and submitted by schools who will participate in JSSF 2024. Download the necessary Letter of Participation PDF and complete it before filling out the form, as you will be asked to upload it.

Please let us know if we can have a participating educator from your school be a commentator at the Oral Research Project Presentation.

• Oral Research Project Presentation Commentators:
  Students will be delivering their research project presentations on the 2nd day. It is very meaningful for students to get feedback from experts in the field they have talked about. We would therefore like to ask participating teachers to volunteer to be commentators at one of the venues. 

Please let us know if your school would like to present at either the cultural exchange event (cultural exchange booths) or the cultural presentations.

• Culture Exchange Booths:
  Schools that wish to participate will be given a booth to share the culture and lifestyle of their country. We look forward to having many schools sign up, as learning about each other's culture will help build a foundation for future cross-national cooperation. Students are encouraged but not required to bring traditional games, cultural items, and/or traditional costumes, etc. Please note, that you must prepare and bring any and all materials needed.

• Cultural Presentation
  We are also looking for approximately 5 schools to present a dance, song, or similar performance on stage. Presentations will be approximately 5 minutes in length. Please note that if there are too many applicants, we may not be able to have all the schools give a performance. 

Participating schools will be responsible for organizing and financing their own flights to and from Kansai International Airport (KIX). Please share the details of your arrival and departure flights with us. If you have multiple groups travelling, please submit this form once for each group of travelers.

While arranging flights, please keep the following five points in mind, paying special attention to #3:

1. Please arrive on November 1st in Japan. If for certain circumstances you will arrive on a day other than November 1st, the transportation to the accommodation will be your responsibility.

2. Please depart on November 7th in Japan. If for certain circumstances you will depart on a day other than November 7th, the transportation to the airport will be your responsibility, except in the case of schools that have extended stays arranged by Ritsumeikan.

3. We ask that schools arrange for their flights to arrive and depart from Kansai International Airport. Kansai Airport is about two hours away from the accommodation. If you request assistance, we will arrange local transportation according to your arrival / departure time and for the arrival. Our staff will be waiting for you at the arrival gate of Kansai airport to pick up your group.

   • Due to new regulations regarding transport within Japan, please be aware of the following:

     • Schools arriving at Kansai International Airport (KIX) MUST schedule their arrival to be before 21:00 JST for us to provide transportation to the venue. Schools that arrive before November 1st (Friday) will be responsible for their own accommodation. We will arrange for transportation from KIX for these groups on November 1st.

     • Schools departing from Kansai International Airport (KIX) MUST schedule their departure to be at or after 10:30 AM JST on November 7th (Thursday) for us to provide transportation to the airport.

4. Schools arriving at other airports throughout Japan will need to obtain and finance their own transportation to the venue.

5. Groups arriving before November 1st or leaving after November 7th should make their own hotel arrangements for those dates.
