Tokyo Dream Park

Created by TV Asahi, the sleek nine-story complex is designed to host everything from arena-sized concerts and musicals to art exhibitions. It is one of Tokyo’s biggest, and flashiest, entertainment hubs.

Note: Tokyo Dream Park officially opened its doors on March 27, 2026.

What is Tokyo Dream Park?

Tokyo Dream is a symbol of Tokyo Bay’s future. It was born from a vision to bring more people to this side of the city and further develop the Tokyo Bay area as a vibrant hub. Through its various entertainment facilities, this experimental complex will continue to evolve, offering visitors something new to experience — whether it be music, art, or theater.

One thing to keep in mind is that TV Asahi is one of Japan’s biggest TV networks, so many entertainment acts and events will of course be catered toward a Japanese audience. For now, it seems that concerts, musicals, and other exhibits are all in Japanese or star domestic celebrities and artists.

Here is a breakdown of what’s inside:

SGC Hall Ariake

On floor 1 of the complex, you’ll find SGC Hall Ariake, a concert venue that fits just over 5,000 people. Using state-of-the-art equipment, such as a world-class immersive audio system, this venue will be the base for many music-related events.

Note: There is a separate entrance for the hall at the back of the building.

Main Entrance

The main entrance is on Floor 2. Here, you’ll be greeted by two life-sized gold statues of arguably the face of Japan, Baseball player Shohei Ohtani. And, if you’re wondering how much they are worth, it’s a whopping ¥55,000,000 apiece.

In addition to these rather expensive statues, you’ll find practical facilities like toilets, lockers, an ATM, and of course, the most important — the British Pub HUB.

EX Theater

As you head up the escalator from the 2F, you’ll reach the entrance of EX Theater Ariake. This modern theater stage hosts a variety of musicals and stage productions. With around 1,500 comfortable seats, high-performance stage equipment, and specially engineered sound design, you’ll be able to experience theater better than ever.

EX Theater Ariake launches in April 2026 with AmberS, a new musical, followed by Gekidan Shinkansen’s summer show and the Japanese premiere of a Tony-winning musical. We recommend checking the official website for this year’s theater lineup.

Umikaze Kitchen

This family-style restaurant on the 6F brings home-style comfort dishes that everyone can enjoy. It offers different menus for lunch, dinner, and even wine.

The lunch and dinner menu focus on familiar Western favorites such as avocado toast (¥1,320), hamburgers in sauce (¥1,980), and pasta (¥1,320). If you arent feeling as hungry, there are also a few smaller side dishes and desserts.

For drinks, you can select from a variety of coffees, teas, and homemade drinks. Feeling fancy? Order a cocktail or a glass of red, white, or sparkling wine.

Note: Until May 2026, Umikaze Kitchen is collaborating with Kirin Beer and Ajinomoto bringing special drinks and dishes.

Dream Terrace

Also, on the 6F is Dream Terrace. This rooftop garden, complete with sea views, is a space which will hold seasonal events. For now, there’s benches, a small food vendor, and mini stage but this layout might change depending on the event. For the duration of the special Doraemon exhibit, the terrace is decorated with many adorable Doraemon statues in a variety of poses.

EX STUDIO7

EX Studios, located across the 7F and 8F are spaces which host rotating exhibitions and digital art experiences.

100% Doraemon & Friends

From March 27 to September 30, 2026, the blue, earless robot cat has taken over the 7th floor with the ‘100% Doraemon & Friends in Tokyo’ exhibition.

It is one of the largest ever Doraemon exhibitions, with over 100 life-size figures taking over EX Studio 7, as well as other parts of the complex. Actually, for this special event, four new character designs of Doraemon have been made: a Shiba-inu Doraemon, a Sumo Doraemon, a Sakura Doraemom, and Onigiri Doraemon. This writer’s personal favorite is the sumo. You can even buy plushies, keychains, and other merchandise of these new characters at the gift shop at the end of the exhibition.

In the main 100% Doraemon Manga Exhibition Hall, you can see a visual history of the famous cartoon, a recreation of Fujiko F. Fujio’s desk, and other exclusive films. On top of this, there are many more of those Doraemon statues and photos ops.

Make sure not to miss the other Doraemon sculptures, which help make up the 100. They are located in the 100% Doraemon Scuplture Parks A, B, and C. Two of the parks are situated within The Dream Terrace. To top the whole event off, there’s a massive inflatable Doraemon, who has traveled across Asia, proudly sitting in Scuplture Park C.

Pro tip: Won’t be in Tokyo for the duration of this exhibition? Don’t worry, Doreamon has his own dedicated museum you can visit instead!

RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES

The current 8F exhibition is Rêve des Lumières (Atelier des Lumières), the immersive art show from Paris. It is the first time it has stop by Japan and it is debuting with a Van Gogh projection experience using over 100 projectors.

Other facilities

Technically also on Floor 2 (but best accessed from the outside) are Crisp Salad Works and Jack in the Donuts. We highly recommend paying a visit to this Jack in the Donuts to see the incredible range of fresh donuts on offer. We tried one of the coffee ones, and it was very good. A HORIGUCHI COFFEE is set to come soon.

There’s also a Family Mart on 1F, next to the car park. Notably, there are also food trucks outside. On our visit, we sampled some yakitori and some unique tomato-flavored dishes from the American food brand Del Monte.

How to get there

Tokyo Dream Park sits in the Ariake area of Koto Ward, close to Tokyo Big Sight.

It’s roughly a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Big Sight Station on the Yurikamome Line, or 9 minutes from Kokusai Tenjijō Station on the Rinkai Line.
