This past weekend was the **9th JapanR Conference** hosted at [LINE
Corporation](https://linecorp.com/en/) in Tokyo, Japan!

I’ve been back in Japan for nearly a year now and I’ve been going to
nearly every one of the R user meetups here,
[TokyoR](https://tokyor.connpass.com/), and it’s been a great experience
to learn about R and its wide variety of uses by Japanese practitioners
and academics. Besides the near-monthly meetup of TokyoR there are
smaller gatherings spread throughout Japan such as
[FukuokaR](https://fukuoka-r.connpass.com/) and
[TsukubaR](https://tsukubar.org/) but the meeting that gathers the
biggest crowd is the [JapanR Conference](http://japanr.net/) held every
December since 2010. Of course, there are outliers such as the [special
TokyoR session](https://tokyor.connpass.com/event/92522/) this past July
when [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/RStudioJoe) and [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/hadleywickham) visited Japan!

write up a little round-up blog post about it. As much as I would like<commit_msg>add r-bloggers tag<commit_after>---
