baby car seat japan
can i bring my child’s carseat on board a plane?
We will be flying JAL (Japan Air) to Japan this summer. We will be holding my infant daughter in our arms to avoid the price of the seat. My question is that her stroller is a baby transport system where the car seat clicks into the stroller. I know we can gate check the stroller part, but will we be able to carry the seat on board?
you can gate check the car seat, i don’t think that the will let you carry it on because it will not fit in an over head bin or under a seat. if you purchased a seat for her than you would be able to put in in the seat.
A guide to the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre
Tokyo International Exhibition Centre is locally called the Big Sight and it opened in 1996. Situated in Tokyo Bay, it is the largest exhibition centre within Japan and certainly the best known in Tokyo with its iconic conference tower which is eight storeys high.
The total exhibition space of the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre is over two hundred thousand square metres of which about 35% is inside the building. The exhibition centre has three main areas:
- Conference Tower
- East Exhibition Hall; and
- West Exhibition Hall.
Each section has its own facilities including places to eat and drink, whilst the Conference Tower has a 1,100-seat reception hall, complemented by exhibition halls of varying sizes. On the second floor is the Entrance Plaza which leads through the entrance hall to the exhibition halls and the Exhibition Plaza. The venue is quite impressive with one area for example which is composed of 10 conference rooms some, of which, can be joined together to create a larger space. On the seventh floor is a 1,000-seat conference theatre, complemented by three conference rooms. Floor eight, above, offers another five conference rooms.
The East Exhibition Hall has an amazing two-tiered 600-metre long galleria, which has numerous exhibition halls leading off. Under the East Exhibition Hall is an underground car park. Three storeys high, the glass-roofed galleria has a moving walkway, food outlets, and numerous other amenities.
The West Exhibition Hall has a central two-tiered atrium and four internal halls. Two halls occupy the first floor and have a number of meeting rooms that can be joined together to create a bigger space. Hall three and hall four on the floor above are smaller than the halls on the first floor and lead through to the atrium where there are rooftop exhibitions. Next door to the West Exhibition Hall is an exterior exhibition area which overlooks the waterfront.
The venue holds a number of exhibitions annually including:
- Tokyo Special Import-Car Show
- Baby & Kids World
- Japan International Seafood & Technology Expo Tokyo
- Bridal Industry Fair
Tokyo itself is an expensive yet wonderful city to explore if you have any time away from the exhibition centre. The city has an excellent local transportation system and restaurants. Try one of the many sushi bars and also relax for a few hours after a hard day in the exhibition halls, with a Japanese onsen bath.
