Tips Before You Visit

Exit A6 at Tochomae Station Is Your Best Option

Tochomae Station’s Exit A6 connects directly into the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building. From the ticket gates, you can reach the venue on B1F entirely under cover — a major advantage on rainy days or when traveling with heavy luggage.

Walking from Shinjuku Station: Know the Gap

The covered pedestrian walkway from Shinjuku Station West Exit (with moving walkways) runs toward Mitsui Building, but the shelter ends before you reach the Sumitomo Building. On rainy days, taking the Toei Oedo Line one stop to Tochomae Station is far more reliable than walking the full distance.

Expect Ongoing Construction in Nishi-Shinjuku

Large-scale urban redevelopment around Shinjuku Station’s west exit is underway, with completion expected in the 2040s. Pedestrian routes may be rerouted or partially closed at various stages. Check for route updates before your visit.

Use the Sumitomo Building Atrium as a Gathering Point

The triangular atrium (sankaku hiroba) inside the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building is open to the public as an exhibition and lounge space. It works well as a gathering point before events open, or as a break area between sessions.

Taxis Are Most Accessible from Shinjuku Station West Exit

Taxi stands in Nishi-Shinjuku are concentrated around Shinjuku Station West Exit. If you need a taxi after your event, walking toward the station gives you the best chance of finding one, especially during peak departure hours following a large conference.

Convenience Stores and ATMs Nearby

Several convenience stores are located within the Sumitomo Building and in adjacent Nishi-Shinjuku skyscrapers. If you need cash or last-minute supplies before an event, check the building directory on arrival.
