As for the event, as a facility manager, we were able to finish the event successfully by strengthening the vigilance system while fully coordinating with the organizers as well as the police authorities.

Looking at this way, the safety measures carried out at "COMIC CITY TOKYO 131" are comparatively effective and may be the future standards, and the safety measures implemented have the following contents.

1: "Individualization of entrance leads"
2: "East 3: Implementation of baggage inspection for all visitors" (Admission when not cooperating with baggage inspection is refused)
3: "Arrangement of security guards"
4: "Prohibiting the use of garbage boxes in the East Building Galleria"
5: "Prohibited use of coin locker in East Building Galleria"

In addition, for the sake of security, "For the sake of security of the venue, guided by the Tokyo Gulf Street this time, I will cancel the participation of the cosplayers' cosplaySo it is going to prohibit cosplay. This is not only to say, "Who is a suspicious person who is a dubious person, who is not suspicious, who can not be judged by security guards and policemen who do not have cosplay knowledge" when bringing cosplay, but bring it for cosplay change It seems that it is impossible for a security guard or a police officer who has no knowledge to judge whether things can not be inspected & necessary items.

In summary of the above, it will be OK if the safety measures that are equal to or higher than the above are to be held in May and beyond, so in future events organizer side trends It is noteworthy.
