Before I start the story of Pharmaceutical Japan Tour, I'd like to introduce names of the

chosen people of Pharmaceutical Japan Tour 2012 (PJT 2012). They are Fenny Christine

Haitono, Niko Rupoko Putro, Rahmad Aji Prasetya, Ilil Maidatuz Zusfa, Angelia Putri Moeliono

and Mirrah Almira. But Fenny Christine Haitono, Rahmad Aji Prasetya and Ilil Maidatuz Zusfa

cannot come as the Indonesia Delegates because of certain reasons. The tour itself was held from

February, 13th-February, 18th 2012. Pharmaceutical Japan Tour is an annual program held by

the Association of Pharmaceutical Students Japan (APS-Japan). Well, I think that is a brief

introduction for PJT 2012.

February, 13th 2012

Two of the Indonesia Delegates, Angelia Putri Moeliono and Niko Rupoko Putro arrived

at Khaosan Tokyo Annex and Khaosan Tokyo Smile, the place where we're going to stay for 5

days after having 7 hours flight from KL (LCC Terminal)-Tokyo (Haneda Airport). In Japan, it

was still winter time, so the temperature was about 6C. We arrived at the Khaosan Tokyo at

00.10 in the morning and we met the Leader of PJT 2012, Sachimi Chiba and the vice-leader,

Hayato Ninomiya. We paid the registration fee, got our key room and slept for a while before we

had to start our first day.

At 9 am at the morning, most of the PJT staffs were gathering in the lobby to discuss

about today's free time plan. So I and Niko went to see the new Tokyo Sky Tree Tower (the newicon of Tokyo besides Tokyo Tower but this tower had not officially opened), Kaminarimon

Gate in Sensoji Temple (Kinry-zan Sensji) and also to Akihabara with 4 staffs (Ishii Hiroaki,

Matsumoto Hiroaki, Utsumi Junya, Ishimoto Tsubasa). After we went home, we were preparing

for the welcome party near Sensoji Temple (Kinry-zan Sensji) and met our group for the PJT

2012 activities. In welcome party, all the main staffs and 10 group leaders (2 leaders for each

group) for the whole activities introduced themselves and so all the delegates. In this tour, we

had delegates from Taiwan, Tunisia, Malaysia, Singapore and Czech Republic. Even though not

all the Japanese staffs were able to communicate in English fluently, but they brought their

dictionary everywhere so that we could talk together. After the welcome party was over,

everyone went back to Khaosan Tokyo Annex and Khaosan Tokyo Smile by feet. First day was

over and we couldn't wait for the next day.

We started the second with breakfast and preparation to go to University of Tokyo ( Tokyo

Daigaku), one of the best Universities in Asia. Today we had light rain and the temperature

degree was about 5-6C. In the Pharmaceutical Department of Tokyo University, we were

welcomed by Prof. Hiromichi Kimura one of the experts in the Pharmaceutical Science and

Economy. He gave us a lecture about leader that was needed for today, Japans current condition

and how to be a good leader in this globalization era and so many things. After the lecture ends,

we had a discussion about the health problem that we had in our country and what we're going to

do after we graduated someday. Before we started the laboratory visit, we had lunch (Japanese

lunch box set called bent) and hand-made chocolate from the Staffs because it was valentine

day :3. We visit some laboratories which were used for finding new drugs for depression and

synthesizing organic compounds. We also had a short lecture for the synthesizing process of

some compounds, some basic knowledge of pharmacology of drugs and the process of how

neuron worked. Here we met with the other Indonesia delegates, Mirrah Almirah and a guest

from Indonesia, Farida Ifadotunnikmah who joined only the laboratory visit.

Before we had our bowling time, we had a cultural exchange with all PJT 2012 staffs and

delegates. First we had a discussion about Japanese cultures from the staffs and we shared our

countrys cultures to them. Next the representative of every country presented a short

introduction of their own countrys culture and pharmacy condition to everyone in the room.

This time, we got more new knowledge about Malaysia, Czech Republic, Singapore, Taiwan and

Tunisia cultures. After we finished our presentation about our country, we were divided into

small groups for bowling time and then we had dinner in Sweet Paradise, Shinjuku. Shinjuku

night view was very beautiful; I suggest you to see some picture that I included in the next page.

Then, we went back to Khaosan Tokyo Annex and Khaosan Tokyo Smile by train and second

day was finished greatly. Another sophisticating day!

The third day began by merging 5 groups to 4 groups because we were going to observe

different hospital. My group was doing the sight-seeing activity in Kawasaki area. After we

finished, we went to the Saisekikai Yokohamashi Tobu Hospital hospital by bus only with some

of the staff because the visitors were limited. We went to Saisekikai Yokohamashi Tobu

Hospital (private hospital), one of the top 5 emergency hospital in Yokohama City. For your

information, the administration fee for both the public hospitals and private hospitals were same

for the Japanese citizen because they were protected by insurance. We were welcomed by Mr.

Tomohide Akasa, Ph.D. MBA, the director of Pharmacy Department. In this hospital, we visited

the Pharmacy Department where they have only 29 pharmacists (one pharmacist could manage

until 560 beds), 8 people for carrying stuffs and no pharmacist assistant. This department was

divided into 4 major parts according to the top prioritize cases that they have which were

outpatient, chemical therapy, ICU and emergency part. This hospital had 1.600 types of

medicines, 800 injections/day (domestic prescription: 300), and they spent 170.000.000/month

only for this hospital. Every pharmacist in this hospital checked the condition of the patients

everyday for at least twice in a day. They noted the result in computer (automatic) and they

checked it manually so it made them a cross-checked result. They show us the machines that

were used to pack the medicine and IV injection. They also showed us the database program that

was made by the chemical therapy's leader for the patients so that they could check their next

schedule and their condition.

The other group with Niko Rupoko Putro included in the group went to Saisekai

Yokohama Nanbu Hospital where their pharmaceutical department consists of 25 pharmacists

who were working in four different division namely dispensing 1, dispensing 2, pharmaceutical

practice and pharmaceutical information. The basic concept of Saisekai Yokohama Nanbu

Hospitals Pharmaceutical departments was that "everyone should participate in clinical practice

in an environment that provides the opportunity to learn from each other". After the visit to

hospital was over, we went to Roponggi Hills to meet the other group that went to different

hospitals. We had our dinner in two different places; sushi restaurant or yakitori restaurant. Not

long after the dinner ended, we went to the observatory of Roponggi Hills for the night view.

From here you could observe the Tokyo City and even the Tokyo Tower! What a great view :)

we also had photo with every staffs and delegates. The third days ended beautifully.

This morning, we were having a journey to Kampo Museum in Shinagawa. Just like

China which had Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kampo was the Japanese Traditional Medicine

that was developed from the Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this museum, we got to taste the

tea originally made by Nihondo Group, saw around their museum and lecture about what is

Kampo and how we could have a license for prescribing Kampo medicines by taking certain

courses. After the visit to Kampo Museum was finished, we went for lunch and then we

continued our journey to our next destination which was to the Headquarter of Esai Co., Ltd.

which were located in Myogadani, Tokyo. We were allowed to enter Koishikawa Knowledge

Centre where we were going to see and listen to presentations conducted by Dr. Rami Suzuki

(Senior Director, Business Development, PCHQ, EPCS) and Dr. Chihiro Takayama (Senior

Director, Knowledge Creation). The presentation was opened by Ms. Sayoko Sasaki (Senior

Director, Public Relation). They promoted some of their products such as Halaven as anti-cancer

drugs, Aricept as anti-alzheimer agent, etc. They also had main philosophy called hhc (Human

Health Care) which understood the comfort of using drugs that was needed by the patients and

the family's patient. Eisai believe that the side effect of some drugs that they produce didn't

comfort the patients, so that they were trying to make the side effects reduced significantly

because they care to the whole condition of the patients. We learned that the health conditions of

patients were our top priority and we needed to make them felt comfortable also when the

patients were taking drugs. After the visit to Eisai Co., Ltd, we went to Shinjuku for sightseeing

and dinner at Citibank Shinjuku Building. Another day had been spent with good memories to

remember.

Today was a day only for group sight-seeing, so every group went to different places. At

first my group went to Meiji Shrine (MeijiJing) which was located in Shibuya, Tokyo. This

shrine was dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, found in 1920. Meiji Shrine (Meiji

Jing) also had museum, memorial picture gallery of the Meiji government, Main gate (torii),

Barrels of sake, etc. And it was lucky for my group to see the wedding ceremony that was rarely

seen by others even by the citizen themselves. For another addition, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jing)

had a beautiful park named Yoyogi Park which surrounded the shrine and made this place was a

green spot amongst other big buildings. In this chance, we also got to see a wedding ceremony

on that day.

After we finished the visit to Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jing), we went to Takeshita Street in

Harajuku to have lunch and shop for a while. Then, we also visit the Hachiko statue near the

Shibuya station. Hachiko itself was a dog which become famous because of its loyalty towards

its owner even though its owner had died for years. In front of Hachiko Statue, there was a

simple museum which was shaped like a mini-bus and inside we could see so many pictures and

short story about Hachiko. Last spot for sight-seeing was in Tokyo Tower (333 meters high)

where the top of the Tokyo Tower was not straight as the effect of Fukushima last year's

earthquake. We went there to observe Tokyo city at night and it was so beautiful! Luckily, the

snow fell down that night and we could see the falling snow from the observatory (150 meters

high). The Tokyo Tower also had a lookdown window so that the visitors could see down this

tower. That night was very beautiful and then we attended the farewell party which reminded us

that this tour was almost over.

Last day, this is the day when the tour ends. Everyone prepared the luggage and we didn't

know when we would meet again or where we would meet again. But one thing that everyone

remembered, that this tour brought a lot of unforgettable memories and experiences. We got to

know more about Japanese food, Japanese culture, Japanese peoples way of living and most

important Japanese health condition in hospital. This tour would be a very precious memory that

won't be forgotten by anyone. See you again someday Pharmaceutical Japan Tour 2012 Staffs

and Tokyo. Thank you for everything!Mata aimash ne minna-san~
