What you need for Expo!!


Here, we will introduce what you should bring to hololive Super Expo and 5th fes!!

Transportation + Hotel


Here, we will introduce the transportation options to Makuhari Messe, the venue for hololive Super Expo, and the hotels around the area!!

Transportation (Train)


First, about the train, which is expected to be the most used option on the day of Expo and fes. The nearest station to the Expo venue is Kaihin-Makuhari Station!! In general, Kaihin-Makuhari Station is the closest to the venue, and others are far away, so you probably won't use them. Other options are Makuhari-Toyosuna Station and Makuhari-Hongo Station.

List of Stations to be Used


Kaihin-Makuhari Station (JR)
This is the closest station to Makuhari Messe. It takes about 5 minutes from the station to the venue, the fastest route. Kaihin-Makuhari is served by JR Keiyo Line and JR Musashino Line, with rapid access from Tokyo in about 30 minutes and from Saitama, about an hour from Minami-Urawa Station!!

Makuhari-Toyosuna Station (JR)
It's about a 20-minute walk from the station to the venue! To be honest, it's quite far... But from the station, there's a huge Aeon Mall (famous Japanese shopping mall), Costco, Round One (Place to play Arcade game, Karaoke, and more!!), and more!! So, it's recommended for those who have extra energy after Expo or Fes!!

Makuhari-Hongo Station (JR + Keisei)
50-minute walk from the station to the venue!! Too far!! It seems like it's not usable for events at Makuhari Messe... But!! The advantage of this station is Keisei Bus!! You can go directly to Makuhari Messe on Keisei Bus, and it takes about 18 minutes with a fare of only 260 yen, making it quite easy to get to the venue!! However, you need to close your eyes to the limited number of buses...

Transportation (Bus)


The area around Makuhari Messe is quite well-served by buses, and there are many routes. In this section, we will explain the buses and routes that reaches to Makuhari Messe Chuo and Makuhari Messe (East Exit), which is close to the venue of Expo!! Please note that the schedules of the buses introduced in this section are for Saturdays and Sundays as the Expo day, and they may differ on weekdays.

Makuhari Messe Chuo(or Central)
This is the bus stop for both going and returning!! Anyway, if you go to Makuhari Messe Chuo, you'll be fine because Makuhari Messe Chuo is right next to Makuhari Messe!! The routes you will use are Keisei Bus, Chiba Kaihin Kotsu, and Chiba Seaside Bus!!

Hotels around Makuhari Messe




The map and list above show all the hotels near Makuhari Messe. When there's a big event, hotel prices usually go up. So, especially the hotels mentioned are a bit expensive because they're in a good location. Right now, staying for 2 nights and 3 days would cost at least 10,000 yen or more per room per day. As the event day gets closer, prices might go up more. If you're looking for a place to stay near the venue, it's a good idea to book early. For those wanting to save money, you could check out hotels a bit farther away, capsule hotels, or even internet cafes!
