Dear participants of the 20th ARSR congress,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your participation and contribution to the 20th Asian Research Symposium in Rhinology (ARSR).

There were more than 110 registered delegates from foreign countries, Korea, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and USA, who contributed to 20 keynote lectures, 18 oral presentations and 26 e-poster presentations.

Thank you again for your support to the 20th ARSR.
I am looking forward to seeing you in person at our future congresses.
Please stay safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Welcome Message

The 60^th Annual Meeting of Japanese Rhinologic Society and
The 20^th Asian Research Symposium in Rhinology
Professor and Chairman

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great honor and pleasure to invite you to the 20^th Asian Research Symposium in Rhinology (ARSR) which will be held at Biwako Hotel and Otsu Civic Hall in Otsu from September 23 to 25, 2021. The conference will be held as the joint meeting of 20^th ARSR and 60^th Annual Meeting of Japanese Rhinologic Society.

ARSR was founded by Late Prof. Yasuo Sakakura (Japan) and Prof. Yang-Gi Min (Korea) who had the foresight and vision to develop the clinical and basic research of Rhinology in Asian countries and to establish the intimate relationship among Asian Rhinologists. In 1996, the first ARSR was held in Suzuka, Japan under the leadership of Prof. Sakakura, and the second ARSR in Seoul, Korea under the leadership of Prof. Min. Subsequently, ARSRs were held almost every year in different Asian countries, and has been the major academic gathering for Asian Rhinologists. ARSR has lots of clinical programs such as live surgery and cadaveric dissection course in addition to research sessions. We are proud to have the opportunity to host ARSR the fourth time in Japan after the successful conference in Tokyo, 2013.

Japan Rhinologic Society (JRS) was founded in 1962, and the number of the society members exceeds more than 2000 now. JRS contributes to the development of the field of Rhinology by (1) having an annual academic meeting, (2) editing Japanese Journal of Rhinology and publishing guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, (3) supplying educational courses in the conference, (4) encouraging junior and senior members with awards, (5) extending mutual friendships among nationwide societies, (6) cooperating with other international societies, and (7) making educational programs for citizens.

With "From Japan to Asia and the World" as the theme of this conference, we have special lectures, keynote lectures, instruction courses, and free paper and poster sessions. To encourage the young colleagues, best presentation awards will be prepared for under 40-years old participants. Hands-on seminars for basic research, basic ESS and advanced ESS courses were popular and were crowded every year in this conference. We would like many participants to apply for these seminars in advance.

Otsu is a neighbor city of Kyoto, a famous old capital city of Japan, and it takes only 10 minutes from Kyoto station to Otsu station by JR train. Shiga prefecture is famous for the Japanese largest lake, Lake Biwa, and we can see beautiful landscape from the lake-side conference venue. Otsu is the location of many famous temples and historical sites, including the world heritage site, Enryaku-ji temple on Mount Hiei. I am quite sure that you can enjoy the conference and your stay in Otsu.
