For Winter Comic C109 (12/29-31), I went to the Tokyo Big Sight with my fellow club members and friends. I solved the big luggage and the congestion all at once with just one device.
With all the loot, cosplay outfits, and setup materials, the days of traveling by train are over. For 4 to 9 people, we can use a private jumbo taxi to take you from your home or previous overnight hotel to the venue door-to-door.
“With a carry case full of setup materials in both hands, crammed on a crowded Rinkai Line” — these are the words of A, a fellow member of the club who has been thinking about this every year at the Comic Market. Ahead of the three days of C109 (December 29th to 31st, Tokyo Big Sight), they decided to book a private jumbo taxi. In this article, we will follow the flow of the day and the specific scenes where private taxis are effective for those heading to Comic Market as a group.
"The usual things" in the morning on the way to C109, Tokyo Big Sight
Comic Market 109 will be held at Tokyo Big Sight (Aomi Ward, Tokyo) from Tuesday, December 29 to Thursday, December 31, 2026. This is the first time the event has been held over three days since the winter of 2019. I’m looking forward to enjoying this long and grueling event with my full physical strength.
However, it’s a common occurrence every year: getting exhausted during the journey to the venue. There are bound to be many similar situations, whether you’re participating in a club or just going along for the ride.
On days when you have a lot of luggage, the train is more tiring.
For a club event, you need a poster with the menu, a mat, props, money for tips, and a cardboard box or carry case with inventory. For a cosplay event, you need costumes, wigs, props, and clothes to change into. Even for a general event, the return trip is a hassle with the paper bags full of loot. Carrying this around, you’ll be exhausted from the morning rush to get to the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station or Yurikamome Tokyo Big Sight Station.
Friends are scattered, and even when they gather, they get stuck together.
When you take more than one taxi, you end up arriving at the venue late and having to wait in front of the venue. Even on the train, if you get lost among the people at the platform or ticket gate, it’s very difficult to find someone. Even with the group’s participation, you can’t even have a conversation during the journey.
Point:The fatigue from Comiket is magnified not only by the "long time spent in the venue," but also by the "large luggage to carry on the way back plus the crowded conditions." This is where the private jumbo taxi service comes in handy, capable of handling the entire event in one vehicle.
The flow of events on the day in chronological order (an example of group transportation)
Starting from your home or the previous night's hotel, we will follow the chronological order of your journey to the venue. Since we can arrange transportation to any location within the coverage area, whether you're boarding or getting off, you can consult us for transportation from Tokyo's 23 wards as well as from Saitama and Chiba.
- Pick-up at the front entrance or in front of the hotel:Pick up the car at the designated meeting point and take it there with the time specified. The cardboard boxes and carry-on bags are assembled on-site and loaded into the cargo hold. There’s no need to roll heavy equipment all the way to the station.
- Everyone rides together to Aomi:4 to 9 people travel in one vehicle. You can hold meetings during the trip and conduct operational planning regarding which island to visit. There are no transfers, so you never have to worry about getting lost.
- Getting off the bus near the venue:Depending on the congestion situation, you can disembark at places near the waiting lines or the loading and unloading area. This shortens the distance you have to walk from the station with heavy luggage.
- Pick-up after the event can also be arranged:On the way back, you’re likely to have more luggage due to the loot you’ve collected. If you arrange to be picked up at your desired time, you won’t have to stand in a packed train with a paper bag on your back.
The early morning advantage:JumboTaxi.com does not charge extra for late night or early morning hours. Even for early arrivals or departures before the first train, the easy-to-read pricing is reassuring for large luggage groups.
A unique scene only available at Comic Market thanks to the charter system
Even if some people might feel, "Why rent a car when you can take the train?" the usefulness of having one vehicle in certain situations changes. Even if it doesn't apply to all situations, if you can think of at least one example, it's worth considering.
A circle with a lot of construction materials
Tableware, placemats, poster stands, and cardboard boxes for storing inventory. Compared to trains that require manual handling, having a one-box setup where everything can be packed together in the luggage compartment is definitely more convenient. This saves you the effort of setting up the setup.
Big luggage for cosplay participation
The costumes, wigs, props, and wardrobe items are bulky, can't be crushed, and shouldn't get wet. Since the seats and luggage compartment can be separated, the costumes can be transported to the venue in pristine condition.
Previous overnight stay and arrival from a distant location
From Saitama and Chiba, or from the front-of-stay hotels in Yuiro and Taihaku. We can bring together the morning gathering and have everyone arrive at the venue at the same time.
A rush of loot on the way back
If you come for 3 days, you’ll get a lot of loot. We can also arrange a one-way trip back for you. You can even save time by just bringing your bags to the station.

I will answer the questions you might have in advance.
How many people can ride? Can you also carry large luggage?
The Jumbo Taxi (Toyota Hiace Wide Super Long) can accommodate up to nine passengers and large items such as suitcases and cardboard boxes can be stored in the luggage compartment. If you have a lot of setup materials or costume cases, please let us know in advance the number of people and the size of the luggage so we can suggest the best packing method. For long items or special items, please consult us at the time of quote regarding the possibility of inclusion and dimensions.
What is the price? Will it be more expensive?
Chartered trips are priced per vehicle, so the cost per person decreases the more people there are. For example, splitting the same vehicle among multiple people means you can get rid of the hassle of trains and heavy luggage, while the cost per person is often more affordable than you might expect. The exact price varies depending on the number of people, departure point, and time, so please use the below as a guide and request a quote on the pricing page or through the web form.
| Means of transportation | Handling large luggage | Comfort in a group | Cost structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train (Rinkai Line / Yurikamome Line) | Carrying it by yourself; difficult to carry due to crowding | Difficult to get along with and difficult to talk to | Although the fares are cheap, transferring and physical exertion are a big burden. |
| Dividing into multiple taxis | Spreading the number of units and worrying about the backlog | We were short on arrivals, so we waited to join them. | As the number of units increases, they tend to become more expensive. |
| charter jumbo cab | Loading all items in the cargo compartment at once | Everyone rides along and stays together during the journey. | Pay per person. The cheaper price per person increases as the number of people increases. |
Where can I get off?
We will disembark at a place where it is safe to stop, based on the traffic regulations and congestion situation on the day. The surrounding area is very crowded, so we will guide you to the location closest to the waiting line or the entrance of your destination while observing the real-time situation.
To be honest:On days when you want to go casually and on your own at your own time, the train is more flexible. When multiple people, large luggage, and wanting to fit in time all come together, the private car becomes its best use. In these circumstances, a Comic Con trip in a group is the perfect opportunity to meet those requirements.

summary
The key to enjoying the three days of Winter Comic C109 without tiring on the way back is how to make the “big luggage” and “group travel” easier. With a charter jumbo taxi, you can bring all your loot and setup materials, plus your cosplay outfits, in one single vehicle. You can get them from your home or the previous night’s hotel to the venue door-to-door. Zero transfers, no worry of getting lost, no early morning surcharge. With enough people, the burden per person will be more manageable with a shared cost.
