Time Out says

With something in the neighbourhood of 12 million people visiting its exhibition hall and conference rooms every year, and hosting approximately 16 restaurants on the premises, Tokyo Big Sight is without a doubt Japan’s most impressive convention centre. Host to various expositions and events, it even serves as the finish line for the Tokyo Marathon. It’s famous for the unique, inverted pyramid design of its Conference Tower, which also serves to connect the East Exhibition Hall to the West Exhibition Hall. Its numerous accolades include the 38th annual Building Constructors Society Prize Special Award, and the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan’s 15th annual Japan Lighting Award.

What’s on

Furugi Festival

This secondhand clothing festival is hosted by And Buyer, a Japanese company that distributes and promotes the use of pre-loved wear and gear. Furugi Festival on January 11 is a shopping frenzy featuring over 300 stalls selling nothing but secondhand and vintage clothing from 10am to 7pm. You’ll be able to find one-of-a-kind pieces from both individual sellers and local shops you might recognise. Entry is ¥500 (free for primary school students and under) per person. If you’ve got your eye on a must-have item and want to beat the crowds, opt for the fast pass (¥1,000), which grants exclusive access to the event from 9am. Tickets are now on sale via Eplus.
