Conference Venue:

The old city of Kyoto, the heart of Japanese culture, is the site of the 21st International Mammalian Genome Conference. This meeting will be the third IMGC in JAPAN, following 14th IMGC held in Narita, JAPAN, in 2000.

In Kyoto, natural scenery, temples, shrines, towns and homes intermingle with a poignant historical beauty. Over a period of 1200 years, dating from the decision to move the capital to Kyoto in 794, it nurtured a splendid, delicate and unique kind of culture, and over the course of history came to be considered the mother of culture within Japan.

For this reason, Kyoto is often called "Japan's heartland", and it is said that it is impossible to know the real Japan without knowing Kyoto.
