The ninth edition of Tokyo’s festival, industry and market event TIFFCOM, is abandoning its traditional home of Roppongi Hills in favour of a Tokyo island venue, Odaiba.
The organisers, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and funder UNIJAPAN cited the opportunity to grow the event as the reason for the move, which was a polite way of saying that Roppongi was becoming a bit of a nightmare to cram everything into and get around easily.
