Let's design an ideal convention center
return to the index
Constructing it far from the city is the worst.
When you intend to hold the show that large-scale products are exhibited, you should find the hall  which has a wide exhibition area and high level equipment. 

Tokyo Big Sight has the site area of 240,000u. There are a plaza which can be used as a temporary parking lot and the waiting circle of the carrying in and carrying out track in its  circumference. If they are totaled, it becomes twice or more the building lot area.
Makuhari Messe where Tokyo Motor Show is held, is to be said that in case of including peripheral temporary use ground, it has the total area wider than Tokyo Big Sight. 

When the situation of Japan today is considered, it is difficult to secure the plain of a large scale for one place. Whether for good or for bad, the main construction position should be the reclaimed ground.

However, even if the scale of facilities is small, when the hall is constructed in the very convenient place, its management is maintained enough . 

The exhibition  of the orchis and the local product exhibition held in Tokyo Dome are famous. The exhibition hall named “prism hall” is established as an annex in the amusement park, and the new goods announcement of the enterprise is often held. Sunshine City (Ikebukuro, one of the subcenter in Tokyo northern part) or the party room at the hotel in downtown are used as splendid exhibition facilities.

First of all, the character of the exhibition hall should be clear. Then, the people who are the main customers become clear. The goodness of the access with those who are the target is important. 

Therefore, no matter how there is land, you should fail surely if you built your hall in a place greatly away from the center of industry. 

I heard the following ideas: To work out administrative and maintenance expenses, I want to lend the physical education facilities built in the country as an exhibition hall when there is no use. Indefinite operation of facilities only increases the deficit. 

Though it is my personal opinion, if the main user of that facilities are businessmen, I think that the limit distance is one and a half hours from the enterprise in center of the city, from door to door. 

It is possible to go to the exhibition accompanying with the colleague in the company. 
For example, he goes out of the office at 10:30. He takes lunch in the vicinity of the hall at 12:00. And, he spends about 2-3 hours in the hall from 13:00. Then, he goes out to the nearby downtown with the colleague and exchanges information while drinking sake. He would come to the exhibition comfortably in case of this. He will come surely next time. 

It takes more than one hour to go to Makuhari or Yokohama from the center of Tokyo. Unexpected time might be taken in the transfer of the train.The number of the train might be a little. It is necessary to count the distance from the nearest station. 

Though the Harumi trade fair site (Antecedent of Tokyo Big Sight) was nearer from center of a city than Tokyo Big Sight. because the time of the bus waiting was too long, Our choices is only next two: to go out of the hall before bus stop is got crowded or to retune home completely exhausted. It can be said that the installation of transportation is extremely important. 

A similar traffic paralysis happens when the resort in the vicinity is crowded on holiday. It becomes a cause by which the reputation of that hall is dropped. 

The competition with the rival exhibition center becomes a problem, too. Though there is no big exhibition hall for the north of Tokyo, It is difficult to secure land, it is difficult to secure the land. 

The talk does not advance when I say negative occasion. So I shall advances  by assumption which the transference site of the airport  is possible to secure fortunately.
