Day-before setup

Usage time includes the time needed for setup and cleanup. The hall's time slots are morning 9:00-11:30 / afternoon 12:30-16:00 / evening 17:00-21:00 / all day 9:00-21:00. If two or more slots are rented consecutively, the time between the slots can also be used (morning and afternoon together: 9:00-16:00 straight through). To start earlier or finish later, approval is given as an out-of-hours/extension charge only when it causes no inconvenience to the users before and after (hall, early-morning start 8:00-9:00: 31,000 yen on weekdays, 47,000 yen on weekends and holidays; evening extension 21:00-22:00: 92,000 yen on weekdays, 114,000 yen on weekends and holidays). If the key is not returned to the management office by the end of the usage time, it is treated as an extension and additional charges apply. (Facility Usage Fees, revised April 1, 2000)

Load-in and load-out

When bringing in large stage sets, lighting fixtures and the like, approval of the type, quantity and load-in date and time is required in advance, and everything must be removed immediately afterward. No storage is accepted at all. Stage equipment and the like must be discussed with staff by 1 month before the date of use, and the program and schedule must also be submitted. When the orchestra pit is used, the booking covers 3 days in total, including setup and removal: the day before the performance, the day itself and the day after.

Delivery vehicle rules

There is a loading area directly behind the hall; large or heavy items can be carried from the loading entrance to the stage on the large lift (ozeri). Some trucks cannot enter depending on their size, so inquire with the management office. The loading area drawing shows 10.60 m wide, 7.40 m / 7.10 m / 6.60 m long, and a ceiling height of 3.80 m (3.10 m in part). The Stage Equipment / Fixtures List (as of January 4, 2022) gives the dimensions of the large lift (ozeri) as 4 m x 10 m and a maximum load of 6.0 t (1.5 t per division). To leave a vehicle in the parking lot while using the facility for 2 or more consecutive days, the organizer must apply to the management office in advance, and the vehicle must leave promptly after use ends.

Parking

The parking lot is exclusively for organizers who have rented the facility; there is none for general visitors. Parking passes are handed to the organizer for the allotted number of vehicles: 20 for hall use, 2 each for the meeting rooms and the exhibition hall. Parking is permitted only during the usage time of the reserved facility. There are spaces for wheelchair users, but the number is limited, so apply in advance by telephone to the management office (03-3844-7491) (the disability certificate is checked at entry). For general visitors, the facility refers to Kaminarimon Underground Parking as the nearest public parking lot.
