Since March 11, Japan has been received an enormous disaster caused by
significant earthquakes and the giant Tsunami, followed by the breakdown
of nuclear power plants at Fukushima Prefecture in northern Japan. We Japanese
very much appreciate the warm-hearted encouragement and financial aid from
all over the world.
Kyoto Prefecture has, however, suffered no damage caused by these events, and has been kept at the ordinal normal radioactivity levels since last March. The number of foreign tourists visiting Kyoto quickly recovered during this summer. We would like to invite you to attend the 6th International Colloquium on Arboreal Squirrels without concerns.
