Welcome Message
We are delighted to officially announce that the 19th International HLA & Immunogenetics Workshop (19th IHIWS) will be held in Japan after 35 years. The Workshop will be held in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture on May 19-24, 2026. Numazu City, the venue location, is only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train and offers a perfect spot to catch the most spectacular view of Mt. Fuji.
We are also pleased to announce that the 2026 Asia-Pacific Hitocompatibility and Immunogenetics Association Conference (APHIA) will be held on My 26-28 at the same venue consecutively.
It is our pleasure to host IHIWS in this city which is not only surrounded by abundance of nature of lush green of Senbon Matsubara pine grove, Mt. Kanuki, or River Kano floating through the city but with rich regional gastronomy from Suruga Bay. While attending the workshop in Numazu, we encourage you to take advantage of enjoying leisurely excursions to local inviting spots which we are planning to cherish your memory.
The entire organizing committee covets that 19th IHIWS, the first international workshop in Japan after 35 years, will be the workshop not only beneficial to attendees but the one which all members are eager to attend by marking your calendar now.
We look forward to seeing you in Japan in May 2026.
Katsushi TOKUNAGA and Takashi SHIINA
Co-Chairs of 19th IHIWS
