---+++ Updated Announcement
The Spring 2005 IVOA Interoperability Workshop will be held in Kyoto, Japan, hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan / JVO. We expect to have work sessions for all IVOA Working Groups, and Interest Groups.

The chairs of the Working Groups and Interest Groups are requested to prepare summary reports for the opening plenary session that describe progress to date and plans for the Interop meeting. 

The meetings will be held on the Kyoto International Conference Hall where the XXIIIrd IAU General Assembly was held in 1997. Accommodations will be available at two hotels in the center of downtown Kyoto, which are about 15 minutes by subway from the meeting location. 

The first plenary session will begin on Monday morning at 10:00 am at room B1, with coffee and registration available starting at 9:00 am in front of room B1. We will finish on Friday at 3:40 pm to allow participants to connect with evening return flights.

We will be working further with the Working Group and Interest Group chairs to develop a detailed agenda for the workshop, though to first order you can expect it to be similar to the May 2004 workshop in Cambridge, USA, with both plenary and up to three parallel sessions. Additional information will be posted on this site as it becomes available. 

We look forward to your participation – it is the contributions from all IVOA projects and personnel that make the VO development stimulating and successful!

---++++ Location
Kyoto, surrounded by gracefully wooded hills and mirrored by 1200 years' history, was the capital of Japan from 794 to 1868 AD. In addition to beautiful Imperial Villas, Kyoto has about 400 Shinto shrines and 1,650 Buddhist temples which dot the entire city. Innumerable cultural treasures and traditional crafts, as well as beautiful spring cherry blossoms and autumnal colours, attract visitors to Kyoto, both from within and without Japan.

Today, the city of Kyoto is also a bustling academic city that is young-at-heart, with nearly 50 institutions of higher education, and a home to many world-class corporate research giants.
The spirit of Kyoto lies in the unique blend of old and new, taking the best of the old and applying them to the future.

[[http://www.kich.or.jp/en/index.html][The Kyoto International Conference Hall (K.I.C.H.)]] is located in the north of Kyoto city, near the Takaraka-ike lake and Hiei mountain. It is only 20 minutes and 15 minites by subway from Kyoto Railway Station and the center of downtown Kyoto. The Kyoto International Conference Hall has long history to host many international meetings, and you will fine full of meeting facilities.

---++++ Banquet
The banquet will be held at [[http://www.gnavi.co.jp/kansai/en/k026603h.htm][Ganko Takasegwa Nijoen]] from 7pm on 17th (Tue). All participants
including their spouses and children are invited. The banquet fee is JPY 1500 (this corresponds to alcoholic beverages),
and the fee will be collected at the registration desk.

---++++ Accommodation
60 single rooms and 20 double rooms in two hotels in downtown Kyoto have been booked during %RED% 15 May to 21 May (Check-in   on May 15th afternoon and Check-out on May 21st morning) %ENDCOLOR% for the meeting participants. Detailed information about these hotels is shown %RED% [[http://jvo.nao.ac.jp/InterOpKyoto/accommodation/accommodation.html][here]]%ENDCOLOR%. You can make reservations for these hotels though the [[http://jvo.nao.ac.jp/InterOpKyoto/registration/Registration.html][registration page]]. All rooms are equipped with free broadband internet connections. These hotels are located within several minutes walk from a subway station, and there are various restraunts around the hotels. The subway will take you to the meeting place (KICH) in about 15 minutes.

---++++ Travel
Travel information to get to Kyoto is shown at http://www.kich.or.jp/en/access/index.html. Travel tips will be provided at the [[http://jvo.nao.ac.jp/InterOpKyoto][ meeting web page]].

A new NAGOYA airport (centrair) has just opened since February.  Transportation between the new Nagoya airport and the Nagoya station is shown at http://www.centrair.jp/en/access/index.html. It takes 28 minutes by train and 30-40 minutes by car to Nagoya. You can easily connect to Shinkansen (the bullet trains) at the Nagoya station to go to Kyoto. It takes about 40 minutes between the Nagoya station and the Kyoto station by NOZOMI Shinkansen.
