day pass
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forTokyo Subway 24-hour ticket for conference days
Worth it if you take four or more subway rides in a day. The pass covers Tokyo Metro and Toei lines but not JR services such as the Yamanote loop.
Weather
April is spring in Tokyo. Expect mild days around 19-20 C and cooler nights near 10-11 C, with occasional rain and a few windy days. Cherry blossom season typically peaks in late March to early April and the last blossoms can overlap the conference dates, which raises flight and hotel demand. Check the forecast in the week before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Japan has fast mobile and fibre broadband. Options for delegates are an eSIM bought before departure, a short-term data SIM at the airport, international roaming on your home plan or a pocket Wi-Fi rental shared between colleagues. Expect free Wi-Fi in venue public areas and hotel rooms, but treat conference Wi-Fi as best-effort: download your talk, poster PDF and any video demonstrations before travelling. Japan uses 100 V at 50 Hz in Tokyo with Type A and Type B plugs, so check your laptop, electrotherapy demo units and poster-screen adapters before flying.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business cards
Exchange meishi with both hands, present the card printed side up and read it before putting it away. Keep a small card case rather than stuffing cards into a pocket, since clinical and academic contacts often follow up by email.
Punctuality and queueing
Sessions start on time and trains run to the minute. Plan to reach the venue 20-30 minutes early, queue in the marked lanes on platforms and keep left when standing on escalators in Tokyo.
Tipping and payment
Tipping is not customary and can cause confusion. Cash is still accepted widely, but Suica or PASMO IC cards and contactless credit cards cover most transit, convenience store and cafe payments.
Quiet on transit
Phone calls are avoided on trains and announcements ask passengers to keep conversations low. This matters when travelling with a group of colleagues after a long conference day.
Conference etiquette
Questions after a talk are usually concise and chaired strictly for time. Approach speakers after the session rather than during the break before it, and ask permission before photographing slides.
Dining and dietary needs
Restaurants often appreciate a reservation for groups. If you have allergies or require halal, vegetarian or gluten-free meals, carry a Japanese-language card explaining your requirements and confirm with the venue catering team in advance.

Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Tokyo (NRT): Primary international gateway serving Tokyo.. Allow road or rail time to Japan; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Japan: Toyosu, Tokyo: Mitsui Garden Hotel Toyosu Premier; Gotanda, Tokyo: Mitsui Garden Hotel Gotanda; Jingugaien, Tokyo: Mitsui Garden Hotel Jingugaien Tokyo PREMIER.
Ride-hail: Tokyo taxis are metered, clean and widely available, and apps such as GO and Uber Japan let you book and pay in the app. Flag fall is around JPY 500 and short central hops typically land around JPY 1,000-2,000, so taxis are best reserved for late arrivals, heavy equipment or a final leg from a station. Drivers rarely speak English, so have the venue address written or shown in Japanese.
Public transit: Tokyo's network combines Tokyo Metro, Toei subway, JR lines and private railways. Use a Suica or PASMO IC card or contactless bank card to tap through gates, and expect single rides of roughly JPY 180-330 depending on distance. The Tokyo Subway 24-hour pass (roughly JPY 800-1,000) pays off on busy conference days. Trains run frequently from early morning to around midnight; avoid 07:30-09:30 and 17:30-19:30 with luggage. Confirm current fares and route options before travel.
Parking: On-site parking at Tokyo conference venues is usually limited and best arranged with the organiser in advance. Central Tokyo relies on paid coin parking, with hourly rates that vary widely by district, so driving in is rarely cheaper than rail. If you must drive, confirm the venue's drop-off point and posted lot rates in yen before setting out, and allow extra time for traffic around the venue during registration hours.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
When and where does this physiotherapy conference take place?
The programme runs 12-16 April 2027 in Tokyo, Japan. Venue and room allocations for individual sessions are confirmed in the organiser's schedule at physiotherapy.intelliglobalconferences.com/schedule. Check the venue address on the official site before booking travel.
How do I register, and which registration tier should I pick?
Registration is handled through the organiser's site. Tiers are split between Active Speaker/Poster and Listener categories, each available in-person or virtual, plus a student rate. If you are presenting an abstract, choose the speaker or poster tier; delegates attending only should choose Listener. Confirm current fees and deadlines on the registration page before paying.
Is there a virtual attendance option?
Yes. The organiser lists virtual speaker/poster, virtual listener and virtual student tiers alongside in-person registration, so delegates who cannot travel to Tokyo can still present or attend online. Confirm the streaming platform and session times in your timezone with the secretariat.
I am presenting a poster. What should I prepare?
Prepare a print-ready poster following the organiser's size and template instructions, and rehearse a two-minute summary of your methods and results. Bring a digital copy and, if possible, a small-format handout or QR code linking to your contact details for delegates who want to follow up.
Do I need a visa to attend the conference in Japan?
Visa requirements depend on nationality. Many short-stay visitors enter Japan visa-free, while other passports require a short-term visa applied for in advance. Check Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs guidance for your nationality and ask the conference secretariat about an invitation letter for your application.
Which Tokyo airport should I fly into?
Haneda (HND) is closer to central Tokyo; Narita (NRT) handles most long-haul arrivals and is roughly 60-90 minutes away by airport train. Fares from both airports are collected in the transport section of this listing. Compare total travel time and hotel location before booking.
How do I get from the airport to the venue and hotel?
From Narita, the Keisei Skyliner and Narita Express run into central Tokyo, with the TYO-NRT bus as a cheaper alternative and taxis as the most expensive. From Haneda, use the Keikyu Line or Tokyo Monorail. Then continue by subway or a short taxi ride to the venue. Confirm live fares and timetables before travel.
What is the weather like in Tokyo in April?
April is spring in Tokyo: mild days around 19-20 C, cooler nights near 10-11 C, and occasional rain. Cherry blossom season usually peaks in late March to early April, which pushes up flight and hotel demand, so book early and check the forecast in the week before departure.
Will I be able to use my phone and laptop at the conference?
Japan has fast mobile and fibre networks. A local SIM or eSIM, an international roaming plan or a pocket Wi-Fi rental all work well. Expect Wi-Fi in venue public areas but treat it as best-effort, and download session slides and your poster files before travelling in case the network is busy.
Is the conference suitable for students and early-career clinicians?
Yes. A dedicated student registration tier exists, and poster sessions give early-career researchers a low-pressure format to present work. Plan to attend sessions outside your immediate specialty to build breadth, and use breaks to meet supervisors and clinical leads.
