Which, apparently is at Tokyo Big Sight. I.e. S.E. Tokyo. There are
plenty of business hotels near Shinagawa, IIRC; and probably a good
selection even closer.

Personally I'd rather spend 1000 yen/night more on a hotel that is
close, than spend 30-60 minutes each direction commuting from somewhere
further afield (which might also be an extra 500 yen each way on the
train). Or close to where the evening social events will be. You'll
enjoy the trip more if you don't have to worry about when last train is,
or budget 5000 yen for a taxi home.
