Hello! This is the J-Tradeshow Connect editorial team.
This time, we'll introduce tourist spots around Makuhari Messe, as well as some places you can enjoy a little further afield.
Makuhari Messe is located in "Makuhari New City," a business and shopping area. Therefore, there are no historical buildings or traditional streetscapes right next to the venue. However, a 15-40 minute train or taxi ride will take you to traditional Japanese gardens and popular theme parks.
This article introduces recommended spots ranging from "tourist attractions within walking distance" to "sightseeing destinations worth visiting if you take a half-day off."
Four Recommended Tourist Spots You Can Visit from Makuhari Messe!
The selection criteria were based on the ability to efficiently visit the exhibitions in a few hours or half a day between events.
*Please check the official website of each facility for the latest information, including business days.
