We will organize a Workshop on Interaction of Ions with Insulators (WIII08). The related fields are rapidly growing in these days, and many new findings have been reported. We believe that it is just timely to have the workshop on the field to exchange our latest results and new ideas. It is planned to have almost all the principal players of the fields in the workshop.

Date: September 8(Mon)-10(Wed), 2008

Venue: NAGANO

Nagano Prefecture is the treasure house of nature, history and culture. Situated in the center of Japan, it is home to the Northern, Central and Southern Alps, and so is often referred to as the "Roof of Japan." Its 13,585 square kilometers play host to four national parks that offer year - round recreational activities, from hiking and camping in spring, summer and autumn, to skiing and skating in winter. The innumerable peaks naturally provide a challenge to mountain climbers of all calibers.
Summer is refreshingly cool, spring and autumn are invigorating, and winter is a snowy wonderland. The many mountains have also ensured a good supply of healthful hot spring spas, patronized by residents and visitors alike.
The apples, grapes, pears and peaches cultivated here are renowned throughout Japan, as are the vegetables grown in the highlands. The clear water and clean air have attracted the growing interest of the precision and electronics industries, which have been erecting a number of factories in the area.
In 1998, the Winter Olympic was held in the various regions of Nagano Prefecture; during this time Nagano was able to impress the people of the world.

Conference site

Togari-Nozawa Onsen (Iiyama)

Nozawa Onsen is famous for the huge amount of hot springs (onsen). There are more than 30 hot springs, with 100% natural hot water.

KOSUGE – SHRINE (year 680)

The shrine has been designated as an important national cultural asset.

The area is good also　for short hiking and e.g. Kosuge Shrine started 680AD is in a walking distance.

ZENKOJI TEMPLE

Zenkoji Temple: According to historical records, this temple is believed to have been established by Yoshimitsu Honda in the seventh century. The main image of Zenkoji Temple is said to be the first image to have been brought to Japan via Kudara (currently Korea). It became a secret image in 654 and has been kept hidden from the public. The occasion on which the Maedachi-honzon, a duplicate of the original main images is taken out of the treasure house and displayed to the public in the Main Hall once every six years is called the Gokaicho. This temple has not belonged to any Buddhist sect and has been widely popular among all walks of people. It has been particularly famous for having accepted female pilgrims since old times. Although the Main Hall has been burned by occasional fires, it was reconstructed each time. The roof of the Main Hall is the largest hinoki-thatched roof in Japan. Under the holy altar or "Ruri - dan" in which the main image of the temple is enshrined, there is a pitch-dark underground passageway where visitors seek the key to the Buddhist paradise.

The key can be found directly beneath the alter.
