Early extension is limited to the morning slot, up to 60 minutes (contract from 8:00, entry at 7:30). Early extension from the afternoon or evening slots is not possible. To leave luggage or layout in place for consecutive-day use, consecutive bookings are required (example: afternoon + evening on the first day to morning + afternoon on the second day, FAQ). You can enter the venue from about 30 minutes before the contracted time (all of the above from the Price List, revised April 1, 2026).

Usage hours are 9:00-21:00 and include preparation and cleanup. Late extension is up to 22:00 (complete clearance). The freight elevator is for hand trucks only; the entrance must be within 2.1 m high and 1.4 m wide, the interior within 2.3 m high, 1.9 m wide and 1.6 m deep, and the total weight 1.35 t or less. Packages sent in advance are received c/o the 1F Disaster Prevention Center (9:00-21:00 on both weekdays and holidays; Shipping of Packages, February 21, 2024) and are kept in the shared space (no lock) in the 4F elevator hall.
Source: jec.or.jp (PDF)Delivery vehicle rules
Parking for loading and unloading packages is free for up to 30 minutes and allowed for trucks up to 2 tons. Even if the stay is within 30 minutes, stop by the 1F Disaster Prevention Center and park in the designated place. After 30 minutes it is charged to the organizer as paid parking. The paid spaces in the rooftop parking lot cannot be used by trucks (Conference Room Equipment Application Form). (All of the above from the Rooftop Parking Facility Guide, April 1, 2026.)
Source: jec.or.jp (PDF)Parking
For organizers who have booked the hall or the First Conference Room, 2 free parking tickets for the rooftop parking lot are provided (no advance application needed; handed over on the day). From the 3rd vehicle, 2,200 yen (tax included) per vehicle per time slot with advance application, up to 5 vehicles including the free ones. The car lift limits are height 2 m, width 2.3 m and length 5 m or less, and total weight 2.6 t or less; there is no parking lot for buses or other large vehicles. Organizers and attendees of the other conference rooms use nearby coin parking lots or public transport. (Rooftop Parking Facility Guide, April 1, 2026. The FAQ also states that "the 3rd vehicle onward and organizers of other conference rooms pay." The Terms of Use state that there is no parking or bicycle parking for general attendees.)

For the hall there are Waiting Room A (free, stage-left wing, 7.7㎡, capacity 4, with a clothes rack and an internet connection port), Waiting Room B (free, Japanese-style room with 5 tatami mats plus a wooden-floor area, dressing table) and Waiting Room C (paid, 64㎡, capacity 22, with a dressing table, a hair-dryer outlet and a full-length mirror; weekday all day 50,600 yen / Sat, Sun & holidays all day 63,800 yen, tax included, revised April 1, 2026).

Bringing in outside food and drink is not allowed in principle (no catering). Only box lunches and drinks (excluding alcohol) arranged through the restaurants in the building may be consumed, in the conference rooms and in the hall foyer. Eating and drinking is not allowed in the hall seating area. Take your trash with you; there is no collection service. The Terms of Use PDF lists the following for receptions and box lunches: Kizan Club on the 9th floor (box lunches and receptions), Tainan Hanten on the 2nd floor (box lunches and receptions), Bistro Season in the basement (box lunches) and the 7-Eleven on the 1st floor (plastic bottle orders).

On the B1F there are Miraishokudo (set meal 900 yen), Okan (tatami-room seating for up to 16 people), Bistro Season (banquets from 5,500 yen for food plus all-you-can-drink; box lunches up to around 400), Higekan and Cafe Bansetto (in-house delivery via extension 222); on the 2F, Tainan Hanten Jimbocho (banquets for up to 120 people; standing parties possible from 30 people); on the 9F, the banquet hall Kizan Club (French); and a convenience store on the 1F. The restaurants on the 2F can also do banquets. The FAQ notes that the restaurants in the building are crowded from 12:00 to 12:30, so ending a morning event at 11:30 makes it easier to have lunch.
