Getting there from the airports and the shinkansen

From Narita Airport

  • The JR Narita Express runs to Tokyo Station without a transfer.
  • Airport limousine buses run directly to Tokyo City Air Terminal (T-CAT) and Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit [Tekko Building]. To find out whether there are direct buses to the Marunouchi side or to the hotels, check the official website of Tokyo Airport Transportation (Airport Limousine).

From Haneda Airport

  • Take the Keikyu Line to Shinagawa, then change to a JR line for Tokyo Station (one transfer).
  • Take the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho, then change to the JR Yamanote Line or Keihin-Tohoku Line for Tokyo Station (one transfer).

From the shinkansen

  • Tokyo Station is served by the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen, and by the Tohoku, Yamagata, Akita, Hokkaido, Joetsu and Hokuriku Shinkansen. Get off at Tokyo Station and you are already in the center of the area.

Journey times and fares change by time of day, so check each operator's official website.

Capacities are the figures published on each venue's official website. The official sources are listed in each venue guide. Theater style (chairs only) holds the most people; layouts with desks or food hold fewer. The capacity for Royal Park Hotel is the figure from its venue guide.

Bellesalle Tokyo Nihonbashi and Bellesalle Yaesu are two different venues in different locations. Bellesalle Yaesu and Tokyo Midtown Yaesu Conference are also different venues.

For Station Conference Tokyo, the top page of the official website says "up to 500 people (theater)", which is different from the 436 in its room-by-room table.

For Otemachi Mitsui Hall, the official website also gives other figures, such as 548 and 560, depending on the stage and chairs used.

JP Tower is not taking bookings for its hall from January 1 to 31, 2027, because of work to replace the lighting equipment. The other rooms can still be used.

Marunouchi and Nihonbashi area in numbers

Tokyo MICE Hubs, an official site run by the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau, has two pages that cover this area.

Marunouchi (Marunouchi, Otemachi and Yurakucho)

  • 25 convention facilities
  • 72 banquet halls
  • 2,873 hotel guest rooms

Nihonbashi

  • 6 convention facilities
  • 9 banquet halls
  • 443 hotel guest rooms

These figures follow the areas as defined by that site. The Marunouchi page includes Yurakucho. We could not confirm which page the venues in Yaesu, Kyobashi and Nihonbashi Kakigaracho belong to, so not every venue in this article may be included.
