Weather
Tokyo in late November is cool and generally dry: daytime highs around 15-17 C, evening lows near 7-9 C, and November is one of the drier months. Rain is possible but rarely persistent, so a compact umbrella is enough. There is no typhoon or snow risk typical of the season. Check a Tokyo forecast in the week before departure.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Japanese mobile data is fast and reasonably priced, but prepaid voice SIM cards are restricted to residents. Short-stay business visitors should buy a data-only tourist SIM or eSIM, rent pocket Wi-Fi at Narita or Haneda, or check whether their home operator includes Japan roaming. Venue and hotel Wi-Fi is standard; power is 100 V with type A/B plugs. Official show material does not publish a venue connectivity policy, so confirm upload speed needs for any live demo with the organiser.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: NRT
Search fares for 23 November 2026 arrivals and 27 November 2026 departures to match the conference block. Narita (NRT) is the main international gateway; Haneda (HND) is closer to central Tokyo and worth comparing for domestic or near-Asia connections. The Seoul-NRT corridor was the cheapest sample in the capture, London-NRT was mid-range and Dubai-NRT nonstop was listed but not priced. Japanese fares usually include tax; add checked-bag fees for low-cost carriers separately.
Visa
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists visa-exempt short stays (up to 90 days) for tourism, business meetings and visiting relatives for nationals of the listed countries, provided no remunerative activity is undertaken; all other nationals must obtain a visa before travel.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
No visa fee or processing time is published in the captured sources. Apply through the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country and check the nationality-specific page on the MOFA site.

Ride-hail: GO, Uber and DiDi operate in Tokyo; taxis are metered and app pickups work well for late-night returns. Confirm the venue pickup point with the hotel desk, and expect higher fares in rain or at peak times.
Public transit: Tokyo's core network is the JR Yamanote loop plus Tokyo Metro, Toei subway and the Yurikamome driverless line. Toyosu is served by the Yurikamome from Shimbashi and by the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho line. Use a Suica or Pasmo IC card for tap-in tap-out fares of roughly JPY 180-330 per ride; a 24-hour metro pass may suit heavy sightseeing days. The organiser pages captured for this event do not publish a conference shuttle, so check the registration desk on arrival.
