    Ariake, Tokyo Bay waterfront380 m from Tokyo Big Sight to venue

    3-star hotel with free Wi-Fi, paid parking, restaurant, accessible and kid-friendly rooms. The shortest walk to the halls among the listed Ariake options, which makes it practical for early badge collection on day 1.

    Sotetsu Grand Fresa Tokyo-Bay Ariake

    4-star hotel rated 4.0 by guests; free Wi-Fi, paid parking, restaurant, accessible and kid-friendly rooms. The upper-midscale option in the cluster for buyers who want a fuller service hotel within walking distance.

    midscale
    Ariake, Tokyo Bay waterfront1 km from Tokyo Big Sight to venue

    3-star hotel; free Wi-Fi, paid parking, restaurant, kid-friendly rooms and transfer service. A slightly longer walk, with a shuttle-style transfer option that helps on build days or in rain.

    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    Yurikamome (automated transit)

    Estimated costJPY 6,000–12,000 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
    Best forShimbashi to Tokyo Big Sight station

    The most direct rail approach to the halls, with Tokyo Big Sight station a short walk from the entrance. Connects to the JR Yamanote Line at Shimbashi; a Yurikamome day pass pays off after two or three rides.

    Rinkai Line (JR through service)

    Estimated costJPY 6,000–12,000 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
    Best forOsaki or Shin-Kiba to Kokusai-Tenjijo station

    Useful from Shinagawa, Osaki and Shin-Kiba, and through-run by some JR services. Kokusai-Tenjijo is roughly a 7-minute walk from the Big Sight halls.

    Taxi

    Estimated costJPY 6,000–12,000 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
    Best forCentral Tokyo hotels (Shimbashi, Ginza, Shinagawa) to Tokyo Big Sight

    Door-to-door and useful with luggage or on build days, but bay-area traffic slows sharply in the morning peak. Pay by IC card or credit card in most cabs.

    Airport taxi

    Estimated costApprox. JPY taxi/rideshare from NRT to venue (estimate; confirm before travel)
    Best forNarita (NRT) to Tokyo Big Sight and Ariake hotels

    The costliest transfer option; worth it only for late arrivals or heavy display material. Rail plus a short taxi from Kokusai-Tenjijo is usually cheaper.

    Airport limousine bus

    Estimated costJPY 180-320 single metro journey
    Best forNarita (NRT) to Tokyo Bay area hotels and the Big Sight area

    Luggage-friendly and stops at several bay-area hotels; journey time depends on traffic. Reserve a seat on the airport operator site during busy arrival days.

    Airport rail

    Estimated costJPY 500-1,200 airport or regional rail single journey
    Best forTokyo (NRT) to Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight)

    Cheapest on the limited-express Keisei service, fastest on the Skyliner or Narita Express. Continue on the JR Keiyo Line to Shin-Kiba and the Rinkai Line to Kokusai-Tenjijo for the venue.

    Car parking

    Estimated costApprox. JPY 1,500-2,500 per day at bay-area car parks; confirm the venue tariff before driving
    Best forTokyo Big Sight on-site and Ariake-area car parks

    Paid on-site parking serves the exhibition halls but fills during large concurrent shows. Pre-book through the venue or organiser where offered, and allow extra time at the gate.

    Weather

    Late November (25-27 November 2026) in Tokyo falls in the cool, generally dry autumn window: climatological highs around 14-17 C, lows around 8-10 C, moderate humidity and rain mostly from passing fronts rather than a rainy season. The Ariake waterfront feels colder in the evening because of bay wind, and hall-to-hall walking means long periods on your feet. These are typical seasonal bands, not a forecast - check a 10-day forecast the week before departure and keep a compact umbrella in your bag.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    The listed Ariake and Tokyo Bay hotels advertise free Wi-Fi, and Tokyo Big Sight runs venue Wi-Fi, but trade-day traffic on shared networks can be heavy, so keep a mobile hotspot or a generous data eSIM as backup. Tourist SIMs, eSIMs and pocket Wi-Fi are sold at Narita and Haneda arrivals and at electronics shops in central Tokyo; sorting data before you land removes the first queue. Japan runs 100 V with Type A flat-pin sockets (50 Hz in Tokyo and eastern Japan), so check laptop and charger plugs and bring a universal adapter. Credit cards and IC cards are widely accepted in Tokyo, but keep some cash for smaller restaurants and local shops.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business card exchange (meishi)

    Japanese B2B meetings usually open with a two-handed card exchange: present your card with the text facing the recipient, receive theirs with both hands, and read it before putting it away. Keep cards in a holder rather than a trouser pocket, and carry more than you expect to need during three show days.

    Punctuality and queuing

    Appointments start on time and arriving early signals respect. Badge screening at Tokyo Big Sight moves in orderly queues, so follow the marked lanes, keep your confirmation ready, and avoid taking calls in the queue.

    Payments and tipping

    Tipping is not customary in Japan and can cause confusion. Credit cards and IC cards such as Suica and Pasmo cover most payments in Tokyo, but smaller restaurants and some local shops still prefer cash, so keep a modest amount of yen on hand.

    On the show floor

    Ask before photographing a stand, a rate sheet or a screen, and treat printed price lists as confidential until the exhibitor offers them. Greetings are usually a light bow or a handshake if offered first, and silence on trains and in lifts is the norm.

    Ariake and the bay area

    The venue district is a planned waterfront area with hotels, malls and restaurants rather than a nightlife quarter. Book dinner reservations for larger groups during show week, and plan the last Yurikamome or Rinkai Line connection back to central Tokyo before you leave the halls.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: NRT

    Fare captures for arrival on 25 November 2026 routed long-haul traffic into Tokyo NRT and priced the 24-27 November window sharply. London LHR fares were flagged as unlikely to fall below about JPY 117,988, and New York JFK travel in the 24-27 November window was quoted around JPY 175,223 with fares described as high, so lock long-haul seats early and compare flexible dates around the three show days. Late November sits outside Japan's major holiday peaks, but the window is short, so midweek arrivals a day before the opening give a buffer for jet lag and badge collection. Compare NRT against HND departures, since Haneda is the quicker transfer to the Ariake waterfront, and check baggage allowances if you are carrying stand material.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Tokyo (NRT): Primary international gateway serving Tokyo.. Allow road or rail time to Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight): Ariake, Tokyo Bay waterfront: Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel; Ariake, Tokyo Bay waterfront: Sotetsu Grand Fresa Tokyo-Bay Ariake; Tokyo Bay waterfront: Hotel Trusty Tokyo Bayside.

    Ride-hail: Ride-hailing in Tokyo is app-based but uses licensed taxis: GO, Uber Taxi and S.Ride are the common apps, and hotel front desks will call a cab if your data plan is not active yet. Taxis are metered, clean and safe, and most accept IC cards and credit cards, so you rarely need cash for a short hop. Bay-area traffic around Ariake slows during the morning build-up and at hall closing, so rail is usually faster from central Tokyo. Use the official taxi rank at Tokyo Big Sight or your hotel rather than flagging a car on the street, and confirm app coverage plus your pickup point before relying on ride-hail for an early appointment.

    Public transit: Two lines do the heavy lifting for Tokyo Big Sight: the Yurikamome automated transit stops at Tokyo Big Sight station, and the Rinkai Line stops at Kokusai-Tenjijo, a short walk from the halls. Shimbashi is the classic Yurikamome connection to the JR Yamanote Line, while the Rinkai Line links to Osaki on the JR Yamanote and Saikyo lines and to Shin-Kiba on the JR Keiyo Line from Tokyo Station. Toei and private buses also serve the Ariake area. Use a Suica, Pasmo or mobile IC card throughout, and consider a Yurikamome day pass if you ride more than twice in a day. Check operator service updates during your stay, particularly for early-morning engineering work.

    Parking: Tokyo Big Sight has paid on-site car parks serving the exhibition halls, and the surrounding Ariake district has additional paid lots, both charged by time with daily caps. Capacity tightens when several halls run at once, so pre-book through the venue or organiser where that option exists and arrive before the morning rush. Expect several thousand yen for a full show day in the area, keep the ticket with you for payment machines, and confirm the current tariff and hall access rules on the venue or organiser site before driving.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: Late November 2026 (25-27 November 2026)

    Temperature: Typical late-November Tokyo band: daytime highs of about 14-17 C and overnight lows of about 8-10 C, with the Ariake waterfront feeling colder in the evening. These are climatological averages, not a forecast - check a 10-day forecast before departure.

    Seasonality: Late November is one of Tokyo's drier autumn periods, with rain mostly arriving in short frontal spells rather than a sustained rainy season, and autumn foliage at its peak in the city's parks. The main seasonality risk for the show is cool bay wind and wet pavements between halls, so plan for a compact umbrella and covered walking routes rather than heavy rain gear.

    Packing: Pack layers that work between a heated hall and a cool waterfront: a light coat or wool jacket, a fine-gauge knit, a scarf for the evening, and comfortable walking shoes broken in before you fly, since show days mean long hours on hard hall floors. Add a compact umbrella, a small bag for business cards and brochures, a power bank, and a universal adapter for Japan's 100 V Type A sockets. Business casual with a jacket covers most stand meetings in the Japanese travel trade, and a spare shirt helps on a three-day show run.

    Print or save a short target list of exhibitors with hall and stand numbers, and draft meeting requests in polite Japanese business English.

    T-7

    Order business cards (meishi) with your role and company in both English and Japanese if possible, since card exchange is expected at first meetings.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is the 2026 edition of the Tokyo leisure travel show held?
    The 2026 edition runs 25-27 November 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo International Exhibition Center) in the Ariake district of Tokyo Bay. The halls are reached by the Yurikamome to Tokyo Big Sight station or the Rinkai Line to Kokusai-Tenjijo station. Confirm the exact hall allocation and opening hours on the organiser site closer to the dates.
    Is visitor registration free and do I need to register in advance?
    Visitor entry is free, but registration is required for all visitors. Complete the online form before you travel, keep the confirmation email or QR code on your phone, and carry photo ID plus company credentials to the badge desk. Advance registration avoids a second queue on the first morning.
    Is the show open to the public or trade only?
    It is set up as a business-to-business leisure travel event, so bring business cards, company identification and a clear reason for your visit. Check the organiser's current visitor policy page for the definitive attendance rules, any age restrictions and whether any session is open to non-trade guests.
    What does a Japanese leisure travel trade event actually cover?
    Expect destination promotion, inbound and outbound tour product, hotel and ryokan contracting, transport and rail passes, experience and activity suppliers, MICE and corporate travel, and travel technology and distribution. The buyer side is dominated by Japanese travel agencies, wholesalers and OTA merchandising teams contracting product for the coming season.
    How do I get from Narita or Haneda airport to Tokyo Big Sight?
    From Narita, the usual rail pattern is the Keisei Skyliner or Narita Express into central Tokyo, then the JR Keiyo Line to Shin-Kiba and the Rinkai Line to Kokusai-Tenjijo; airport limousine buses also serve Tokyo Bay area hotels. From Haneda, take the Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu Line into central Tokyo and continue by JR and the Rinkai Line, or use a limousine bus toward Ariake. Confirm live timetables and terminal details on the operator sites before travel.
    Where should I stay near Tokyo Big Sight?
    The Ariake and Tokyo Bay waterfront cluster is the practical choice: Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel is about 380 m from the halls, Sotetsu Grand Fresa Tokyo-Bay Ariake about 710 m, and Hotel Trusty Tokyo Bayside and Far East Village Hotel Ariake about 1 km. Hotels in Shimbashi, Shinagawa or Osaki work too if you prefer central Tokyo, with a single Yurikamome or Rinkai Line ride to the venue.
    What is the weather like in Tokyo in late November?
    Late November is cool and generally dry, with typical daytime highs of 14-17 C and lows of 8-10 C, and the bay front at Ariake feels colder in the evening. This is a climatological band rather than a forecast, so check a 10-day forecast the week before departure and pack layers plus a compact umbrella.
    Do I need a visa to attend as a business visitor from abroad?
    Visa and visa-exemption rules depend on your nationality. Check the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs pages or your nearest Japanese embassy for the current business visitor and short-stay rules, apply early if a visa is needed, and confirm that your passport is valid for the full period of stay before booking flights.
    How do I get around Tokyo during the show?
    Use a Suica, Pasmo or mobile IC card on the Yurikamome, Rinkai Line, JR and metro. Shimbashi connects the Yurikamome to the JR Yamanote Line, while the Rinkai Line links to Osaki and Shin-Kiba. Taxis are metered and reliable but slower than rail across the bay during the morning peak.
    Can I exhibit at the 2026 edition?
    Exhibiting is handled directly by the organiser, not through this listing. Stand types, hall allocation, freight rules and contracting deadlines are published on the organiser site, so request the current exhibitor manual before committing to a stand build or shipping display material to Japan.

    Glossary

    1
    FIT (Free Independent Traveller)
    A traveller who books flights, hotels and activities separately rather than buying a packaged tour. Japanese outbound and inbound operators price FIT modules alongside group series, so FIT margin is a standard talking point on the show floor.
    2
    DMC (Destination Management Company)
    A local ground operator that builds and delivers itineraries, transfers and excursions inside a destination for overseas tour operators and corporates. DMCs are the usual contracting counterpart for inbound leisure product into Japan.
    3
    Inbound operator
    A travel company that sells and operates trips into its own country for foreign visitors. For a Tokyo leisure show, inbound operators are the buyers of hotel allotments, coach capacity and experience product.
    4
    Outbound operator
    A travel company that sells trips taking its home-market customers abroad. Japanese outbound wholesalers and retailers are the counterpart to overseas destination boards and suppliers exhibiting in Tokyo.
    5
    OTA (Online Travel Agency)
    A digital retailer of flights, accommodation and activities, such as booking platforms and metasearch sellers. OTA merchandising and rate parity are common agenda items when accommodation suppliers meet distribution partners.
    6
    MICE
    Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions. MICE buyers contract venues, hotels and destination services in bulk, and are usually a separate buyer segment from leisure tour operators.
    7
    Ryokan
    A traditional Japanese inn, typically with tatami rooms, futon bedding, communal baths and a kaiseki dinner. Ryokan groups sell rooms through wholesalers and OTAs, so contracting terms are a recurring topic at Japanese travel trade events.
    8
    JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization)
    The national tourism body that promotes Japan as a destination and publishes inbound visitor statistics and market guidance used by suppliers when planning overseas sales.
    9
    Omotenashi
    The Japanese service philosophy of anticipatory hospitality, covering everything from greeting and seating to how a guest's needs are met before they are stated. It is a standard quality benchmark in Japanese travel and hospitality contracts.
    10
    Pre-scheduled appointment
    A fixed meeting slot booked in advance between an exhibitor and a buyer through the organiser's diary system or direct outreach. Appointment-led formats are the normal working rhythm of travel trade shows.
    11
    IC card (Suica / Pasmo)
    A rechargeable contactless stored-value card, also available as a mobile wallet card, used on Tokyo trains, metro, buses and many convenience stores and vending machines.
