Opening hours (*subject to change):

Entrance time for table dealers is 10:00.
Please note that we will begin setting up the venue from around 9:00, so those who are willing to help setting up will be able to enter from that time.
Entry time for general participants (visitors) is from 10:30 to 16:30.


About works for adults:

In addition to works for all ages, it is also possible to distribute 18+ works providing all table dealers are adults.
However, the event organizer will not verify the age of customers or require them to wear wristbands or such, so please verify the age of each customer every time when you sell. In the unlikely event that any trouble occurs as a result of neglecting to verify age, the responsibility will rest entirely with the table participant, and the event organizer will not be involved in any way.
Please note that 18+ works cannot be displayed on tables or in places where customers can see them, even if depictions of private parts are hidden.
For example, if you want to distribute an 18+ book, you would display a dummy card with just the title written on it, and upon request from the customers (after age verification), dealers would take it out of the backyard and hand it over.


Regarding food and drinks for table dealers at the venue (*subject to change)

Customers are not allowed to eat or drink at the venue, but table dealers allowed to eat and drink in the space.
