Before you walk there
Follow the building floor directory to 11F and use the designated smoking space. The nearby plaza is not entirely a smoking area. The operator’s September event notice has ended; its event restrictions must not be treated as permanent opening hours. Check current signs or staff for access changes. The listing below retains the Japanese name so you can compare it with signs.
