From Tokyo Station (JR Lines, Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line)

From Tokyo Station to Tokyo International Forum, while the JR Keiyo Line underground Marunouchi exit provides direct access, the Keiyo Line platforms are very far from other lines, so we recommend meeting at the Marunouchi South exit instead.
