The Lab-on-a-Chip, Microfluidics, Organoids & Organ-on-a-Chip Asia 2025 Conference is being hosted on October 6-7, 2025 at the Nikko Narita right at Tokyo-Narita Airport.
This annual event brings together researchers from around the world and across Japan and features academic presentations, industry presentations, an exhibit hall with companies from around the world plus extensive networking opportunities.
Travel to Japan is wonderful, convenient, safe and does not require a visa if you hold a US, European or British Passport (visa is stamped upon arrival into Japan). The Nikko Narita provides easy access via Narita Express to Tokyo and then via Shinkansen across Japan. The Nikko Narita hotel is right at Tokyo Narita airport accessible via a Free Shuttle in about 5-10 minutes travel time
Lunch is served on both days of the conference in beautiful Japanese bento boxes and features beautifully-prepared Japanese Cuisine. Additionally, the conference includes coffee breaks and an evening networking reception featuring Japanese Beer and Japanese Sake.
In addition to an exhibit hall, the conference also includes poster sessions and encourages attendees to submit posters as a means to showcase their research and engage actively with the conference participants.
