Makuhari Messe Chiba: Overview

The center is a Japanese convention center outside Tokyo, located in the Mihama-ku ward of Chiba City, in the northwest corner of Chiba Prefecture. Designed by Fumihiko Maki, it is accessible by Tokyo’s commuter rail system. Makuhari is the name of the area, and Messe is a German language word meaning “trade fair”.

The convention center opened on 9 October 1989. It hosts many high-technology events.

Makuhari Messe is close to Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, and to Chiba prefecture’s black sand beaches. It is accessible from Kaihimmakuhari station on the Keiyō Line of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The center is the host of the annual Tokyo Auto Salon (modified car show, in January), the biennial Tokyo Motor Show (in October), the annual Tokyo Game Show (video game hardware and software exhibition, in September), the annual Jump Festa (manga, anime, and video game exposition, in December), and the biannual Wonder Festival (toys, scale figures, and garage kits exposition, in February and July). The venue was host to several Nintendo Space World events.

It was the venue for several sports during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
