Notes and Requests


Carrying the participation certificate with you


A 2017 participation certificate is required in order to enter the gymnasium. Please be sure to attach it to yourself in an easily visible place. A member of staff at badge control will check your certificate.

In order to avoid the loss of props


On the day there will be a large number of juggling props within the venue. In order to avoid losing props, please label or mark your luggage and props with a seal. In addition, if you create a list of the props you have brought with you, you can ensure that you will not forget anything at the end of the festival

Regarding management of luggage and important items during the event


At JJF2017, unlike the Yoyogi venue, there will not be a location to store luggage in order to maintain a practice space for everyone. Please do not bring any items other than the equipment you require and important belongings into the multi-purpose hall.

While the cloakroom of the first floor is planned to be used, it is of a small size. We ask that you keep large-size suitcases and other large luggage in your hotel.

Usage of the facilities


Shoes are to be worn in this area.
As carpet mats are used for the flooring, any props can be used. However, in the case of bounce balls there is the possibility that they will not bounce correctly. Also, use of fire-based props such as torches and knives is prohibited. If you have any questions regarding the use of props, please consult with a member of staff at the venue.

There is no covering for the fluorescent lamps in the multi-function hall, so we request that participants please take care when throwing props high in the air.

Drinking and eating within the venue


While it is possible to drink within the venue, please be sure to not leave a mess or dirty the venue.
A break and food/drink corner will be prepared in small conference room 401 during the event, so we ask that participants please use this location.
