Tokyo Building PIA Theater & Conference Opens Its Doors

On May 1, 2026, the much-anticipated Tokyo Building PIA Theater & Conference, managed by PIA Corporation and Congre, celebrated its preliminary opening. Located within the expansive TOFROM YAESU TOWER right near Tokyo Station, this facility represents a significant addition to the city's entertainment and conference landscape.

Venue Features

With direct access to Tokyo Station through the Yaechika underground shopping area and a terminal for buses connecting to major cities across Japan, the venue was developed to maximize its prime location. It features the first tiered theater in the Tokyo Station area, the Tokyo Building PIA Theater, with a capacity of 806 seats, designed to host a variety of performances including straight plays, musicals, concerts, seminars, and ceremonies.

In addition, the facility offers the Tokyo Building PIA Conference area located on the fifth and sixth floors, which comprises a large hall—TO YAESU HALL—accommodating up to 828 attendees, and a smaller hall—FROM YAESU HALL—with a capacity of 140. There are also ten conference rooms available for various events, such as seminars, exhibitions, and traditional local festivals, continuing the heritage of community interaction in the surrounding area.

A Hub for Connection and Community

The concept of the venue is to serve as a place that fosters connections, encapsulated in its motto, "A place where many ties come together." This reflection embodies the intention to create an environment rich in encounters and entertainment experiences for everyone involved. Special touches are woven into the structure, including multiple motifs of the number 8, drawing from the 'Yaesu' name to signify connections.

Celebrating Seasons and Creativity in Design

The conference rooms, named from Room A to Room J, are designed with seasonal motifs, offering an atmosphere that inspires creativity and collaboration. Each room will feature designs reminiscent of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, encouraging individuals to foster connections through significant meetings in an inspiring setting.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

The venue is equipped with cutting-edge production technologies that enhance presentations and events. For example, a uniquely designed LED monitor (83 inches) located on the sixth floor allows for versatile visual displays. The LANTERNA lighting system in each conference room provides customizable designs, creating an inviting and warm ambiance for events.

Special Preliminary Opening Event: YAESU LAUGH WEEK

To celebrate its opening, the venue will host the YAESU LAUGH WEEK from May 2 to May 6, 2026. This five-day event features a variety of comedy performances and entertainment spanning music, talk shows, and traditional arts.
