Toshima Civic Center

Groups and companies from outside the ward can also rent rooms. Group registration has 2 categories, "ward residents" and "non-residents", and only groups of 2 or more members can register (individual use is not allowed). Registration is done at the room rental reception on the 3F, and identification is required. Fees for groups from outside the ward are 2 times the ward resident fee, and reservations open later than for ward residents (for meeting rooms and the like, from 10:00 a.m. on the 20th of the month 3 months before the usage month; for the halls, from 10:00 a.m. on the 20th of the month 12 months before). Ward resident groups go through a lottery. Commercial use is also allowed, but the fee is doubled (4 times the ward resident fee for groups from outside the ward). Commercial use means events that sell goods or conclude contracts, and events that collect an admission fee, tuition or participation fee of 2,001 yen or more (4,001 yen or more for the Kitchen Room). If a fee of 2,001 yen or more is stated at the time of application, the commercial rate applies even if the actual participation fee is lower. If an event is found to be commercial after approval, an additional charge is collected. In meeting rooms and similar rooms, exercise, dance, singing, playing instruments and acting rehearsals are not allowed. In the halls, dance involving vigorous movement such as jumping is prohibited. The Entrance Hall is for exhibition-centered events, and performances, workshops and treatments cannot be held there. For the halls, the balance must be paid and a technical meeting (reservation required) held by 1 month before the usage date. Cancellations are accepted at the counter only. For meeting rooms and the like, half of the usage fee is refunded up to 10 days before, and nothing is refunded after that. For the halls, up to 1 month before only the advance payment (30% of the usage fee) is not refunded, and from 1 month to 10 days before half of the usage fee is refunded. The center is closed from December 29 to January 3. The whole building is non-smoking, there are no trash cans, and trash must be taken home.
