Tips Before You Visit

Do not confuse it with Akihabara Convention Hall or Akihabara UDX

Akihabara has several similarly named venues. Belle Salle Akihabara is in the Sumitomo Fudosan Akihabara Building in Sotokanda 3-chome, and is a separate facility from Akihabara Convention Hall and Akihabara UDX in Sotokanda 1-chome. On the day, always confirm the venue name and address stated in your event materials before heading out.

The walk to the venue depends on which JR exit you use

The venue is on the Electric Town North Exit side. Leaving via the central gates or the Showa-dori Exit means a longer detour, so head for the “Electric Town North Exit” when using JR. The station is large with several exits, so following the signage helps you avoid getting lost.

The station area is crowded during commuting hours

Akihabara Station is served by several lines, and on weekday mornings and evenings the gates and walkways are busy with commuters. Arriving with time to spare before your event is recommended.

The Suehirocho Station exit is a useful alternative

The venue is also about a 4-minute walk from Suehirocho Station (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line). If JR is crowded, or if you are approaching from the northern part of Chuo-dori, the route from Suehirocho can offer a smoother approach.

Convenience stores and cafés are plentiful near the station

There are many convenience stores and cafés around Akihabara Station, so picking up drinks, a quick bite, or small supplies is easy. This is handy for last-minute preparation before entering the venue or during breaks.

A large electronics district makes it easy to pick up supplies

Akihabara is packed with specialty shops for electronics and PC gear. Being able to buy plug adapters, cables, power banks, and other items that often come up on a business trip is a real advantage.

Easy connections to the Ueno and Kanda areas

Akihabara is a junction connecting toward Ueno and Tokyo on the JR Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines, and toward Kanda and Ochanomizu on the Sobu line. This makes it easy to spread your accommodation and dining across the surrounding areas and to move around during multi-day events.
