Thanks to the efforts of Professor Takayuki Hasegawa (Aichi Shukutoku University), we would like to inform you that the venue for next year’s (2024) JSTS conference has been decided!
16th Conference of the Japanese Society for Time Studies
Date and Time: June 15–16, 2024 (Saturday and Sunday)
2024 Time Studies Public Academic Symposium: June 15 (Saturday)
Location (for both the conference and symposium): Aichi Shukutoku University, Hoshigaoka Campus
Address: 23 Sakuragaoka, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya
The following is a message from Professor Hasegawa:
The Japanese Society for Time Studies (JSTS) will hold its first conference in the Tōkai/Hokuriku region. The venue will be Aichi Shukutoku University’s Hoshigaoka Campus.
Aichi Shukutoku University has two campuses: Hoshigaoka Campus and Nagakute Campus. The Hoshigaoka Campus has 3 faculties and 2 graduate schools, with a student body of just under 3,000 students. The Nagakute Campus has 6 faculties and 4 graduate schools, with a student body of approximately 6,000 students. (Also, Nagakute Campus is the campus closest to Ghibli Park.)
Getting to the venue from Nagoya Station:
Aichi Shukutoku University, the venue for the event, is an urban campus.
Take the Higashiyama Line subway from Nagoya Station to Hoshigaoka Station (about 18 minutes). Exit Hoshigaoka Station from Exit 3, and it is about a 3-minute walk to campus.
Sightseeing:
The stop next to Hoshigaoka Station is Higashiyama Koen Station, which gives you access to the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden. These are also within walking distance from Hoshigaoka Station.
Shopping and Dining:
Right next to the Hoshigaoka campus (in front of Hoshigaoka Station), there is the Mitsukoshi Department Store and surrounding commercial facilities (such as Hoshigaoka Terrace), where you can choose a delicious bento box for lunch. There are also Nagoya specialty restaurants.
All members (and potential NEW members) of JSTS are warmly welcomed to attend!

This time of year, the flu is also prevalent, so please take due care of yourselves and have a happy new year!
