Officially known as Tokyo International Exhibition Center, Tokyo Big Sight is the country’s largest convention and exhibition centre, located on the Tokyo Bay waterfront. The convention centre is best-known for its glass and titanium Conference Tower, which is comprised of four inverted pyramids. The centre also houses a glass-roofed Event Plaza and a 1,000-seat International Conference Room.

Tokyo Big Sight is a hotspot for trade shows and special events, from international gift shows and beauty health shows to spa and wellness exhibits and tech events. The centre is also blessed with multiple dining options, including Chinese, Japanese, Western and fast-food outlets. You also have access to complimentary Wi-Fi, a prayer room and nursing room.
