Operating rules (from the official website and documents)
Load-in and load-out
Use the freight elevators for load-in and load-out (the 3 elevators on each side of the main entrance are not freight elevators). No. 7 runs from B3F to 17F, load capacity 1.45t, car interior 1.85 x 1.75 x 2.3m, door 1.0 x 2.1m. No. 9 runs from B3F to 3F, load capacity 2.0t, car interior 2.2 x 2.8 x 2.1m, door 1.7 x 2.1m. No. 12 is dedicated to the Exhibition Hall (B1F to 1F, load capacity 2.0t, same dimensions). Setup and cleanup (including load-in and load-out) must be done within the approved usage time. A meeting with the stage office is required about 1 month before using a hall. (Source: https://www.hokutopia.jp/usage-guidance/reservation)
Source: hokutopia.jpDelivery vehicle rules
For load-in and load-out by car, use the underground parking lot (height limit 2.8m). Parking fees (200 yen per 30 minutes) apply after 30 minutes from entry. Driving up to the 1st-floor main entrance and unauthorized use of the surface parking lot beside the underground parking entrance are not allowed. The load-in space on the 1st floor of the Exhibition Hall fits one 2-ton truck (load of 2t or less, height 3m or less, length 5m or less, width 2.5m or less). For the Sakura Hall stage and dressing rooms, goods can be brought in directly from the Sakura Hall organizer-only parking lot; for Tsutsuji Hall, the organizer-only parking lot does not face the load-in entrance, so use elevator No. 7 or No. 9. Arrange for parcel deliveries to be received at the facility being used within the usage time; advance deliveries are not accepted. (Source: https://www.hokutopia.jp/usage-guidance/reservation)
