Tower Hall Funabori
タワーホール船堀
A facility of Edogawa Ward. Companies and groups from outside the ward can also rent rooms. To apply, you must register with Edonet, Edogawa Ward's reservation system, and companies and groups register at the counter as a "Large Cultural Facility User Group (outside the ward)" (for groups the ward deems appropriate to use the facility; by mail or through a proxy is not possible; submit identification and documents showing the group actually exists, such as a company profile; renewal every 2 years). Only group registrations can enter the lottery; individual registrations can only make reservations for open slots. Groups with an office in Edogawa Ward pay the ward resident rate, and all others pay the general rate. Commercial purposes are allowed with conditions. Use for exhibition sales of goods or direct sales of products for profit, and use for continued group activities for profit, are not approved. For events that charge an admission or participation fee, the venue usage fee is increased according to the amount (1,001-2,000 yen: 50% surcharge; 2,001-3,000 yen: 75% surcharge; 3,001 yen and above: 100% surcharge). If the purpose of an event is unclear, or the event is not suitable for a public facility, we may decline to rent. The lottery for the Large Hall, Small Hall and Exhibition Hall (for exhibition purposes) is held 12 months before, and for the meeting rooms and other rooms 5 months before, from 9:00 on the 5th to 22:00 on the 14th. For the Event Hall and Horai, both the lottery and reservations for open slots are at the counter only. Usage time includes preparation and cleanup. Cancellations are in principle not refunded. Use of open flames requires an application to the fire department. Posting notices is not allowed, and trash must be taken home.
