Hello! This is the J-Tradeshow Connect editorial team.

This time, we'll introduce hotels around Makuhari Messe.

When choosing a hotel, it's important to consider not only its proximity to the venue, but also the work environment and the ease of staying for multiple nights.
Checking things like early morning travel on booth setup days, email correspondence and online meetings after the exhibition ends, laundry needs during multi-day stays, and the ease of making reservations from overseas can reduce the burden on-site.

Makuhari Messe is a large facility consisting of an international exhibition hall, an international conference hall, and the Makuhari Event Hall. It is about a 5-minute walk from the nearest JR Kaihin-Makuhari Station, but the actual travel time will vary depending on the exhibition hall you use, so be sure to allow plenty of time for your journey.

This article introduces six hotels near Makuhari Messe that can be booked online through their official websites. In addition to typical business hotels, we've included hotels suitable for executives, business partners, and teams attending trade shows.

Key points to consider when choosing a hotel near Makuhari Messe

The first thing we want to check is the "door-to-door" travel time from the hotel to our company booth.

The Makuhari Messe official website states that the walking time from nearby hotels to the venue is approximately 1 to 7 minutes. However, even for hotels listed as "1 minute walk," the actual walking time will vary depending on your destination, such as International Exhibition Halls 1-8, Halls 9-11, or the International Conference Center. If you know which exhibition hall you will be exhibiting in, be sure to compare the hotel's location with the venue map in advance.

Additionally, during large-scale exhibitions or concerts, hotel rooms within walking distance may become scarce. Once your travel dates are set, it's advisable to check the cancellation policy and secure your room early to avoid any inconvenience.

5 things to check before making an online reservation

1. Cancellation deadline

Even if it says "free cancellation," the deadline for free cancellation varies depending on the accommodation plan.

When flight tickets and the number of exhibitors are not yet finalized, it's best to prioritize plans that allow for changes and cancellations. Note that different regulations may apply to bookings of multiple rooms compared to regular individual bookings.

2. Payment Method and Receipt

If you plan to use a credit card, be sure to check which brands are accepted, whether prepayment is possible, and if payment at the destination is an option.

3. Breakfast start time

If you book a plan that includes breakfast, make sure the restaurant's opening time allows you to arrive in time for your meeting. If the times don't match, you can choose a room-only plan and prepare breakfast the day before at a convenience store or similar.

4. Receiving and storing luggage

If you are sending suitcases or printed materials to the hotel in advance, be sure to check the receiving conditions, how to fill out the shipping label, and the storage period.

Please follow the delivery procedures specified by the exhibition organizer for equipment and samples intended for the exhibition.

5. Route to the exhibition hall to be used

Because Makuhari Messe is so large, the estimated travel time from the hotel to "Makuhari Messe" is not the same as the actual travel time to your company's booth.

Confirm which of the following venues you will be using: International Exhibition Halls 1-8, Halls 9-11, the International Conference Center, or the Makuhari Event Hall. Also, research the route from your hotel to the desired entrance in advance.
