Operating rules (from the official website and documents)
Day-before setup
Rental time includes everything from entering the building, load-in and setup to leaving, restoring the room and load-out, and entry outside the rental time is not permitted (paid arrangement or leave the building). When renting on consecutive days, if you book through the evening and have also booked the next morning, belongings can be left in place, but if the bookings are not consecutive, other bookings may come in, so move items out of the room. For meeting rooms, if you tell them the table layout by the morning of the previous day, it will be prepared in advance, and if the rooms before and after are vacant, you can enter 5 minutes early. (Hall Rules of Use, August 2026; FAQ)
Source: l-i-c.comLoad-in and load-out
The load-in/out entrance is only the main front entrance used by visitors, and a slope is used for heavy items. If sending items in advance, please inquire as handling varies by quantity, and specify receipt for the event day or arrival the day before. Because stairs or the slope are used, confirm before booking whether loading instruments in and out is possible.
Source: l-i-c.comParking
The parking lot has 4 spaces in total. Organizers of the Hall and meeting rooms can reserve only 1 space (a 2nd and further vehicles can park whenever space is available). Visitors park on a first-come, first-served basis, and it is often full until 21:00. If it is full, use a nearby coin parking lot (the nearest is a 30-second walk).
Source: l-i-c.comWaiting rooms and dressing rooms
The Hall has 1 dressing room by the stage wing that can be used by about 4 people, with double doors and a permanently installed upright piano. When there are many performers, a meeting room can be split into 2 rooms, a men's waiting room and a women's waiting room (eating and drinking allowed). For changing clothes or long gaps, a guest room can be used as a waiting room (instruments cannot be played in guest rooms).
Source: l-i-c.comCatering and outside food/drink
For meeting rooms, boxed meals from a caterer (including tea and soup) can be arranged freely at no additional charge. When ordering catering for a party or banquet, prior consultation is required and 10% of the meeting room usage fee is added. The designated caterers are Ningyocho Imahan, Kaiseki Ryori Aoyama, Meijiza, Shiki and Ajikobo Suisen, and orders are placed through the Center. In the Hall, eating and drinking is strictly prohibited in the seating area and on the stage, and is allowed only in the lobby and waiting rooms. The corkage fee for drinks for the Hall's drink service is 4,400 yen (soft drinks) and 8,800 yen (including alcoholic drinks) (tax included, 2026 price list).

There is no restaurant or coffee shop in the building. There are 2 drink vending machines on the 2nd floor, where the meeting rooms are.
