The next morning, one of the reception staff of my hotel very kindly drove me to the hotel where all the others were staying and from there we were taken by mini-bus back to the Shrine where the International Chrysanthemum Council meeting and Conference was to be held.

The Conference commenced after lunch and included talks from a number of international and Japanese speakers.

After one more look around the Western Japan Chrysanthemum Show it was off to the Genkai Royal Hotel for the Conference Banquet.
