How to Get to Tokyo Big Sight – 2 Major Ways

Tokyo is known as a complicated city by visitors from the world, especially first-time visitors. I am writing the simplest instructions for you to understand. (Most event organizers encourage visitors to use public transportation unless you have a special reason because Big Sight’s parking area is limited.)

1: Rinkai Line

Catch a Rinkai Line train via Shimkiba at Osaki, Oimachi, etc, Station in the city. Get off at Kokusai-Tenjijo Station. (cf: It takes 10 minutes from Oimachi to Kokusai-Tenjijo.) It is a 7 minutes walk to Tokyo Big Sight.

(Some of Saikyo Line trains directly go through Rinkai Line. They are available at Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc.)

2: Yurikamome Line
