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.
Exit from Marunouchi South exit. You’ll see KITTE building on your left – cross the pedestrian crossing. After crossing, walk straight toward the Imperial Palace direction with KITTE on your left side.
When you see the Apple Store across the intersection, don’t cross the street but turn left and continue straight. Tokyo International Forum is now very close – you’ll see the entrances for Halls A→B→C→D in order from the Tokyo Station side.
