Operating rules (from the official website and documents)
Day-before setup
A separate preparation day, such as the day before, can be rented. In the quote sample "Preparation and event, 2 days of use", the preparation day (13:00-18:00) is charged at the hourly usage fee (60,000 yen per hour, minimum 5 hours) and the event day at the basic venue fee (500,000 yen, 9:00-20:00), with the facility management fee for 2 days (50,000 yen per day). In the 3-day exhibition sample, all 3 days are charged at the basic venue fee. The basic venue fee covers 9:00-20:00; preparation, setup and teardown before or after that incur an out-of-hours extension fee (50,000 yen per hour) and require the operator's approval (all of the above excluding tax, per the quote sample dated April 1, 2026).
Source: myoujin-hall.jp (PDF)Load-in and load-out
Load-in and load-out must be done within the usage time. The usage time runs from the start of preparation to the completion of teardown, and teardown is regarded as complete "when the vehicle has left the loading area" (Notes on the Application Procedure, updated August 9, 2025). The loading entrance is 1,500 mm wide x 2,300 mm high. The freight elevator interior is 1,700 mm wide x 2,530 mm deep x 2,350 mm high, with a door opening of 1,700 mm wide x 2,100 mm high, a load capacity of 2,000 kg and a capacity of 30 people (dimension drawing updated May 5, 2025; the Hall Overview and Access page gives a depth of 2,450 mm). The quantity and timing of load-in and load-out must be notified by 1 week before the event. Advance deliveries are limited to one hand truck's worth and, in principle, arrive between 10:00 and 19:00 on the day before use (Basic Rules on Deliveries, updated May 15, 2026).
Source: myoujin-hall.jp (PDF)Delivery vehicle rules
The loading area is a space shared with other tenants on the 1st floor, and leaving vehicles parked there is strictly prohibited. Leave as soon as the work is finished. Vehicles that can enter the loading area are limited to a height of 4 m and 4-ton trucks; the drawing recommends vehicles up to 2 tons (backing in makes it easier to leave). Vehicles that need to be left parked are moved to the designated parking spaces secured by the venue for up to 2 vehicles (height up to 2.5 m, up to Hiace class, no trucks) (all of the above from the Load-in/Load-out Vehicle List). Notify the quantity and timing of load-in and load-out by 1 week before the event, and if there is a risk of damage, protect the floor and walls with protective covering and restore them to their original condition. The accessory facilities of the exhibition plan (3 days or more) state "Hall space for up to 2 passenger cars".
