Tokyo International Forum

The Tokyo International Forum (東京国際フォーラム Tōkyō Kokusai Fōramu?) is a multi-purpose center in Tokyo, Japan.

One of its halls seats 5,000. In addition to seven other halls, it includes exhibition space, a lobby, restaurants, shops, and other facilities.

Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and completed in 1996, it features swooping curves of steel truss and glass; the outside is shaped like an elongated boat.

Standing between Tokyo Station and Yūrakuchō Station, its address is in Marunouchi, Chiyoda, on the site formerly occupied by the Tokyo metropolitan government (before it moved to Shinjuku).
