At the Exhibition, Japan for Sustainability (JFS) and EcoNetworks (ENW) will hold an English guided tour of selected exhibitors specially designed for foreigners who need any language assistance in English, Chinese, and Korean.

In this tour, four to six participants per group will visit selected booths with staff and learn the latest development in Japan's environmental initiatives and products. You will be able to listen to the exhibitors' explanation of their activities in English, and staff will help you to feedback your questions and opinions to the exhibitors, allowing both you and the exhibitors to find some inspirations from the dialogue. If you would like to know more about the tour, you can find what the last year's tour was like at JFS English Guided Tour Report 2007.

We will look for latest products and services that may be more suitable for use in countries outside of Japan. We will also introduce you to Japanese traditional eco products and its modern innovation.

Whether you have been interested in Japan's environmental activities or not, this is a great opportunity to learn this booming topic and have first-hand discussions with industry experts. Apply now to participate in this informative tour.
