Transportation & Hotel For Nijisanji Fes

This section explains the major transportations and accommodation facilities (hotels) nearbay that you will be using on the day of the Nijisanji fes 2026!!

Transportation (Train)


First, about the train, which is expected to be the most used option on the day of the event. The nearest station to the 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 the event!!

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)

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 Nijisanji fes!!
