Operating rules (from the official website and documents)
Load-in and load-out
Usage hours include setup and clean-up time. Because the multipurpose hall requires setup work, the key is handed over exactly at the start of the usage time (for the other rooms, from 5 minutes before the usage time). The facility's usage hours are 9:00-21:30. Prior approval from the facility is required to bring in large or large quantities of items, and brought-in items cannot be stored. The official website has a video guide to the loading route. (Source: User Guide PDF April 2024 edition, FAQ)
