Gadget Tour to Nipponbashi "DenDen Town"

Electronics is one of Japan's major industries. Do you know the reason? One reason is Osaka's electronics shopping mall "DenDen Town". Japanese boys and girls feel close to electronics technology as they grow up. At the ISWC 05 gadget tour, we will introduce "DenDenTown" as the hometown of Japanese electronics technology.

Registration for the tour is free. We will use the subway, and you will pay your own fare. If you would like to attend the tour, please leave your name at the registration desk.

Schedule and course of the tour:
Date & Time: 21st (Fri), start tour at 16:10 and finished 18:00 at "DenDenTown". We'll assemble at the 3F registration desk at 16:10.
