No.172 The Tokyo International Forum

(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).

The glass building and the boardroom


A Toukyo International Airport forum is the international convention center which was built in the vacant lot of Tokyo Metropolitan Government which was moved to Nishi-shinjuku at present and is equipped with the glass building, the display hall, the gallery where there are a hall with seven pieces of size and 33 boardrooms and so on. It opened in January, 1997. A design was done by the first international design competition in Japan and the design of American architect Raphael "VINIORI" was chosen from the inside of 395 works, 50 countries. There is one which is made to do highlights in the glass space where the glass building which used 3600 sheets of glass became a wellhole from the 1st floor the basement the 210-m full length, to the 7th floor the ground in the big characteristic. Also, a hill bridge is provided for the midair at the glass building and a form of spatial walking can be appreciated. However, the feeling that a leg is spooned up does a pace leg when stepping forward and will be the stroll route where it isn't possible to walk slightly to the person of the acrophobia.
"BURATU" for the coming which comes to Ginza and Yurakucho and stands because there are a restaurant and a Soda seeing "TUWO" museum and so on, too, and because are, to attempt to call in, too, is interesting.
Way, it is about 25,000 yen in the use in 4 hours of about 50 boardrooms m2 to 1-5 p.m.. If thinking of doing the improving of that location condition, it is a reasonable price compared with the hotel and so on. The facilities are managing a management by the Inc. Toukyo International Airport forum which is invested as 51% of stockholders in Tokyo. All fee for use and facility specifications are made public in the home page.

The 1st floor the ground plaza

This is a glass building. 3600 sheets of glass are used.
33 rooms of boardrooms match the 4-6th floor of the buildings on the side of the right hand.

The aerial hill bridge
It becomes a stroll course but it feels weak at the knees when walking.

The boardroom stands in line.

There is an electric bulletin board which tells about the schedule of the use of the boardroom and the hall.
It is "YOU" at the check-in counter at the airport just like.

The display hall B entrance

In case of display use which isn't generally made public
It doesn't put in the end from here.

When not used, it is such a feeling.

The "HEMISUHUIA" circle
The long work of artist Richard in the United Kingdom

The display hall which is in the 2nd floor the basement
The inside can be overlooked from outside by the see-through.
