=====================================================
Dear Colleagues,

Herein please fine the first circular for the Hadron 2013 international
conference. Further information will be announced in the second
circular, and will be updated in the web-page:
http://hadron2013.kek.jp

The conference place in Nara during November is the best combination
to enjoy the color of autumn in Japan together with numerous historical
places in this ancient city. One can also easily extend the trip to the
surrounding famous cities of Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe in the same Kaisai
area.

We look forward to seeing you in Nara.

Sincerely,
Toru Iijima
Organizers of Hadron2013
