The Tokyo government initially prohibited Tokyo Big Sight from public use from April 2019 to October 2020.
The government began construction for a new hall and renovation on Tokyo Big Sight in summer last year in preparation for the 2020 Olympics, which caused industry booths at last year’s summer Comiket in August 2016 to close after two days (instead of the usual three).
Under the original plan, Comiket would not have been able to take place at the Tokyo Big Sight for three consecutive sessions.
The latest Comiket event was Comiket 92, this year’s summer Comiket, held from August 11 to 13.
