In 2025, the Japan Anthropology Workshop/ Anthropology of Japan in Japan joint Conference will be held in Kobe, from April 5 (Friday) to April 7 (Sunday), 2025. Here is some information from the onsite organizer, Dr. Carmen Tamas.
The conference will be held between April 4~ April 6, at the University of Hyogo, Kobe Campus for Commerce:

The closest station (approximately 10 minutes on foot) is Gakuentoshi, on the Kobe subway line.
While Gakuentoshi station is only 20 minutes away by subway from Sannomiya station (the central Kobe station), there isn’t much around here, except for 3 universities (University of Hyogo, Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, and Kobe University of Design).
We cannot help with accommodation arrangements, but personally I would suggest hotels in the Sannomiya area. The hotel closest to campus is near Seishin Chuo station (subway):
Regarding meals, for lunch I suggest you bring your own (the cafeteria will not be open). Near Gakuentoshi there are: a Family Mart, a McDonald’s, and a Starbucks.
