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~
