2023
Tokyo International Forum Annual Report

English version

Message from our President & CEO
Thank you for your ongoing support of our business. The Tokyo International Forum (TIF) opened in January 1997 on the former site of Tokyo
Government office buildings and has since supported over 90,000 events,
accommodating uses ranging from entertainment to international conferences with spaces including multipurpose halls, theater-style halls, andmany conference rooms both large and small. In addition to this facility
rental business, we also engage in the organizer business to revitalize thecommunity, thus contributing to the development of the
Otemachi-Marunouchi-Yurakucho (OMY) area.
The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had huge repercussions
on our lifestyles and corporate activities. The environment for events
presented significant challenges, and business circumstances for TIF
completely changed as well. With COVID-19 downgraded to Class 5(common infectious diseases) in May 2023, demand for events has sinceslowly recovered. However, the business situation for our company
continues to be formidable with an increase of new venues for conventions and music and with demand for corporate events still being in the
middle of recovery, in addition to rapidly rising labor costs and inflation.
The pandemic triggered a shift in needs for events. We detected this
precisely and responded by providing diverse high-quality services
including: hall operating services such as reception and cloakroom; stage,
lighting & audiovisual service; and venue set-up. We also addressed newneeds such as online streaming and hybrid events.
Regarding our organizer business, we held La Folle Journée TOKYO for
the first time in four years, as well as Taste of Tokyo, J-CULTURE FEST,and various OMY SDGs ACT5-related events to fulfill our mission ofcontributing to the area and to society.
FY2023 was the first year of the 7th Medium-Term Business Plan, which
we drafted to rise up and move onward from the pandemic with the aim ofachieving stronger growth. Our company is coming together and embracing challenges to engage in initiatives, thus improving business revenue
and reducing costs with the aim of improving business earlier than theinitial plan. While there are some constraints such as intermittent facility
closures due to renovation work, we will continue with ambitious initiatives to boost our presence as a central hub of industry and culture in the
OMY area and link this to the growth of our company.
I ask for your ongoing support and patronage of our business activities.

President & CEO

Event hosting
As the center of attractive town development and as a hub to create and promote culture, we at TIF bringvitality to the area and actively develop our organizer business to contribute to Tokyo residents and society.

La Folle Journée TOKYO 2023
The classical music festival “La Folle Journée” was born inthe town of Nantes in France and was first held in Japan in 2005
at TIF. Based on the wish of Artistic Director René Martin to “tapnew audiences to support classical music by having them enjoy
first-class performances at low prices in a carefree setting,”
concerts approximately 45 minutes long are held from morning
to night in multiple venues under different themes every year.
The unique concept of being enjoyable to all from newborns toclassical music lovers was embraced by many with amazement
and emotion. This has become a familiar Golden Week tradition
over 15 years, filling not just TIF, but the entire town withmusic, and has grown to become one of the largest music
festivals in the world with a total of 8.66 million visitors to dateas of 2019.
However, in 2020, the year of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, thefestival was unfortunately cancelled due to the global spread of
COVID-19. We were also forced to abandon plans in 2021 and2022.
We faced many challenges during that time, but held conviction that La Folle Journée was indispensable to expressing our
gratitude to all who supported the music festival to this point

5

and to restoring vitality to the town. Through cooperation withthe relevant parties, repeated deliberations, and the support ofmany, we were able to bring the festival back in 2023.
Held for the first time in four years, the 2023 theme was ofcourse Beethoven!
The unique program that was characteristic of La Folle
Journée included many of Beethoven’s masterpiece symphonies, piano concertos, as well as pieces that paid homage to
Beethoven. As the town bustled like before, the forecast was far
exceeded with approximately 180,000 visitors who indulged in
the special three days of immersing in Beethoven.

J-CULTURE FEST 2024
The “J-CULTURE FEST: Japan, the Japanese Spirit, First Shrine/ Temple Visit of New Year” was launched in FY2016 as a TIF 20th
anniversary project with the aim of providing opportunities tofoster affinity for Japanese culture and finding new value within.
Held for the eighth time in 2024 under the theme of The Tale ofGenji, we presented Poetry, Music, Drama: Sara no Hikari and thespecial exhibition: “The Dress of The Tale of Genji : the legacy of
beauty left by Murasaki Shikibu.”
For Sara no Hikari, the Japanese poems composed in The Taleof Genji were rendered through dance, song, and narration,
structured as a poetic drama depicting the women who were close
to Hikaru Genji. Along to the melodies of Japanese traditional
instruments such as the 25-string koto, kokyu, hichiriki, and sho,the cast wearing magnificent Heian-era costumes performed
Japanese poetry readings and classical Japanese dance.
The depiction of poems and costumes worn by Heian nobility
reflects seasons and emotions as an aesthetic that forms the basisof The Tale of Genji and greatly influenced later generations. For“The Dress of The Tale of Genji,” we extracted scenes that highlightthe depiction of these costumes, using model exhibits and other tovisually replicate the aesthetics of Heian cultural dress that theauthor Murasaki Shikibu instilled into the story, expressing
this as a bridge to beauty composed for modern times.

FY2023 (preliminary)

The Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance sets
CO2 emission reduction requirements for businesses. For Phase 3(FY2020–24), a reduction of 25% compared to baseline emissions*is required.
TIF has actively executed environmental measures withtangible steps such as updating air conditioning and lighting toenergy-efficient facilities, and intangible steps such as adopting
meticulous operation schedule management, resulting in
reductions beyond the requirement.
Greenhouse gas emissions in FY2023 came to 11,350 t (preliminary figures), the equivalent of 77.5% vs. the target. Emissions
did increase vs. FY2022, but are lower than the target figures for
Phase 3, showing that reduction efforts have been successful.
*Baseline emissions: the recalculated figure using the average of TIF annual greenhouse gas
emissions for FY2005‒07 and greenhouse gas emission coefficients during Phase 2
