Building hours

The building has no shared opening hours. It is a rental office block completed in March 2008, so 3F and above are offices and the only floors open to visitors are the three live rooms from B1F to 2F. TwinBox AKIHABARA (B1F) and TwinBox GARAGE (1F) list 15:00–22:00 and ANTHEM AKIBA (2F) lists 12:00–22:00, but doors and start times change with each day's event, so go by the 開場/開演 times printed on your ticket.

Getting there

Six minutes from the JR Akihabara Electric Town Exit: come out onto Chuo-dori and walk straight into the side street between Bellesalle Akihabara and Sofmap; the building is on your right. From Ginza Line Suehirocho exit 3 it is five minutes. It is an eight-storey steel office block on a back street and looks nothing like a music venue, so the one giveaway is TwinBox GARAGE opening straight onto the pavement at street level. B1F TwinBox AKIHABARA is down the stairs beside GARAGE and 2F ANTHEM AKIBA is up the building's single elevator from the same entrance. Everything from 3F up is offices, so audiences never go higher than 2F.
