Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) *Updated
Below you will find answers to common questions regarding registration, accommodation, travel, and more for the WFRS 20th World Rose Convention. If your question is not listed here, please reach out to us directly for further assistance.
Q: Can I change from a full-day pass to a one-day pass after registration?
A: Yes, it is possible to change your pass type, but you cannot modify the registered name, email address, or pass type by yourself. To make these changes, please email the WRC Desk(wrc2025-regist@or.knt.co.jp), and we will assist you with the updates.
Q: If I have over two accompanying persons, how should I register?
A: Please contact the WRC Desk. Note that registration for accompanying person is limited to family members.
Q: How does group registration work?
A: Group registration is possible, but each individual must register separately due to the registration system. If you wish to register as a group, please contact the WRC desk.
Q: Is it acceptable to make hotel reservations individually rather than through the convention office?
A: While we recommend making reservations through the WRC Organizing Committee, as hotel options will be available on the convention website starting October 21, 2024, it is also acceptable to make individual reservations if you prefer.
In addition, the hotels we offer will give you discounts and have a convenient access to the main venue.
Q: What is the fastest way to get to Fukuyama?
A:You have two main options:
By Airplane: Fly into Hiroshima Airport(HIJ). From there, take a bus to Fukuyama, which takes approximately 60 minutes.
By Train: If arriving at other Japanese airports, take a Shinkansen (bullet train) to Fukuyama. For reference, it takes about 3.5 hours from Tokyo and 1 hour from Osaka by Shinkansen.
Online reservations for Shinkansen tickets can be made starting one month before your travel date.
*For pre-tour and post-tour participants, please verify your departure and arrival points.
Q: Can you arrange pick-up services for individuals from Hiroshima Airport?
A: I’m sorry, but we cannot arrange them.
However, our volunteer staff who can speak English will be waiting at the airport, and they can tell you how to reach Fukuyama, or what public transportation options are available.
Of course, taxis are also available from there, which takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
In the case that we find many participants are expected to arrive at Hiroshima airport around the same time and on the same day, we shall consider arranging some limousine buses from the airport to Fukuyama.
We must let you know if we decided to do on our website.
