[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Tokyo International Forum (Updated Feb)

🏙️Have you ever seen a curved, beautiful, and futuristic building like no other? I have to say that you have to see the "Tokyo International Forum", an international conference center in Tokyo, located in the bustling Marunouchi district. Just seeing the building is enough to make you wow! 🏙️This building is very striking. The curved structure on top is made of glass and steel, contrasting with the rest of the building. It looks very futuristic, giving it a luxurious, modern, and unique feel. You can't find this design anywhere else. The light and shadows are also very beautiful. You'll definitely get great photos. 🏙️This cutting-edge architecture was designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Viñoly Architects. It's guaranteed to be just as cool as the building. 🏙️Tokyo International Forum is not just a meeting place. But it is also an important cultural center. 🖼️Art Gallery: Showcasing contemporary art 📖Library: A resource for art, culture and design 🍱Restaurants: A variety of restaurants, cafes and bars 🛍️Shops: Selling souvenirs, home décor and books 🚅Getting there: Train: Get off at JR Yurakucho Station or Tokyo Station Subway: Get off at Yurakucho Station on the Ginza Line, Hibiya Line or Marunouchi Line #sakura2024 #tokyo #japan #traveljapan #traveljapanbyyourself #conventioncenter #japan #travelblogger #travel

This is the 3rd time I have visited this building, but this is the first time I have visited this building at night. At night, the details of the steel construction are more visible, highly recommended for a photography spot. The overall shape of the Tokyo Forum reminds me of a dirigible or the inside of a whale, with the beams as the architectural ribs. The glass and steel, the light and openness, creates an ideal place to wander and wonder.

A Vietnamese restaurant located inside the Yurakucho International Forum. It's a great option if you want to enjoy Vietnamese cuisine, especially when there's an event at the International Forum or if you're near Tokyo Station. I visited around 1:30 PM on a weekday. It wasn't completely full, but it was quite busy. It's a popular spot! For lunch, there were two types of menus: one where you can choose a pho and a side dish, and another set menu with a more traditional meal. The portions are generous, enough to fill even a hungry man. The spring rolls were incredibly delicious! Overall, the portions were huge! There were a variety of dishes to try, with a rich lineup of options. [Saigon Yurakucho International Forum Branch] 3-5-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0006 Tokyo International Forum B1

Hello everyone! Today, I would like to introduce you to the magical night of music, Disney on Classic! Disney on Classic is a classical music concert featuring Disney music, held annually across various locations in Japan. In the spring, you can enjoy live performances by Japanese vocalists, and from September to December, vocalists from Broadway come to Japan to perform.

In the second part, a different Disney movie is selected each year as the theme, and all the songs from that movie are performed! The music played at Disney on Classic includes not only major Disney hits but also selections from some of the more obscure works! So, if you love Disney, this is highly recommended!
