Site: Wakayama City is located to the south of Osaka, the second biggest city in Japan. It takes 40 minutes by train from the nearest airport, Kansai International Airport. This airport is Japan's first full-scale, 24-hour airport, and was constructed on a site reclaimed from the 18-meter-deep sea. Wakayama Prefecture has many famous historical sites, hot springs and beautiful natural features such as Koya-san, Kumano Nachi Shrine, Nachi Waterfall, Shirahama Spa and Kushimoto.

"Postgraduate memberships" are available to individuals for up to three consecutive years immediately after they receive their highest degree. Postgraduate members have the same benefits as regular members. Postgraduate membership is available on a one time basis to individuals. It is offered for the first time in 1997 and is not retroactive. Dues for 1997 for Postgraduate members are $45. If you are a current student member for 1996 and cannot claim student status for 1997, please consider the Postgraduate membership category when you receive your renewal notice for 1997. Simply note on your renewal what degree you have earned and where and remit the $45.00 Postgraduate Membership Dues. SIAM reminds current students that a discounted membership class is available to them as well - $20 for the calendar year 1997. Student Members receive membership in one SIAM activity group at no charge, and have all the benefits of regular members.
