Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Steering Committee, it is our pleasure and great honor to invite you to attend JSA/WAO/APAPAPRI Joint Congress 2026, held from October 16 to 18, 2026 in Kyoto, Japan.

It is our 4th time that the JSA hosts the World Allergy Congress, and this time, the congress will also be held in conjunction with the APAPARI 2026 Congress.

As the premier event in the fields of allergy/immunology, we ensure to make this Joint Congress a great success by offering participants with an invaluable educational experience as well as the opportunity to explore new scientific discoveries and relevant key updates in major areas of the field.

We will also plan to hold a few social activities for attendees to deepen their long friendship, as well as to establish new ones.

The host city, Kyoto, is the ancient capital of Japan and is recognized worldwide as the country's historical, cultural and spiritual heart.

The city offers you numerous cultural and unique experiences with its countless shrines, temples, and architectural masterpieces including 17 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites. You can also enjoy very modern aspects of Japan.

We look forward to welcoming you in Kyoto, October 2026.
