Your First Visit to TOKYO NODE HALL
TOKYO NODE HALL is the main hall of TOKYO NODE, a cultural and business information hub spread across the upper floors of Toranomon Hills Station Tower, which opened in October 2023. Operated by Mori Building, TOKYO NODE is designed to connect business, art, technology, and entertainment through global communication.
One important point to note is the difference from Toranomon Hills Forum, a separate facility in the same Toranomon area. The Forum is a conference venue located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, while the TOKYO NODE introduced in this guide is located in the Station Tower. Because they are in different buildings, always confirm both the facility name and the building name before your visit.
TOKYO NODE spans roughly 10,000 square meters and combines the HALL with galleries, dining, a cafe, and a sky garden. It is used for product launches, symposiums, conferences, live events, and other business events that call for a high degree of staging.
This guide covers practical information including how to get to TOKYO NODE HALL, where to stay, dining options nearby, and tips for your visit.

Tips Before You Visit
Finally, here are area-specific points worth knowing when visiting TOKYO NODE HALL.
📍 Don’t Confuse “TOKYO NODE” with the “Forum”
The Toranomon area has two separate facilities: TOKYO NODE (Station Tower) and Toranomon Hills Forum (Mori Tower, 4F-5F). They are in different buildings with different entrances, so always confirm the venue and building name on your invitation before heading over.
🚇 The Entrance Is on 8F; Mind the Elevator Transfer
The TOKYO NODE entrance is on the 8th floor. From the Toranomon Hills Station side, the route takes the shuttle elevator via the 7F Sky Lobby before reaching 8F. If it is your first time, allow extra time for the journey.
🚉 The Station Names Are Similar, So Watch Your Line
“Toranomon Hills Station” (Hibiya Line) and “Toranomon Station” (Ginza Line) have similar names and are easy to mix up. The one directly connected to the venue is the Hibiya Line “Toranomon Hills Station.” The two stations are linked by an underground passage, but it takes a few minutes to walk between them.
🏙️ The Area Is Under Ongoing Redevelopment
The Toranomon area is undergoing large-scale redevelopment, and underground passages and pedestrian deck routes may change. It is reassuring to check the latest route on a map app as you go.
🍱 Weekday Lunches Get Crowded
Toranomon is one of Tokyo’s major business districts, and restaurants in the area get very crowded at weekday lunchtime (around 11:30-13:30). If you plan to eat during an event break, it is wise to shift your timing slightly or secure a spot in the Station Tower early.
💳 Cashless Payment Is the Norm
Shops in the Station Tower and the newer commercial facilities widely accept cashless payment. Some stores do not handle cash, but it is reassuring to keep a small amount of cash on hand just in case.
🌆 The Upper-Floor Views Are Part of the Experience
TOKYO NODE spreads across the upper 45th-49th floors, and spaces such as the Sky Garden offer views over central Tokyo. If you have time before or after an event, take in the upper-floor spaces. Please check the official website for the latest operating status.
🚕 Taxis Are Hard to Catch at Closing Time
As a business district, taxis can be in short supply in the evening commute and in rainy weather. Using the drop-off area within Toranomon Hills or a ride-hailing app will make getting around smoother.
