In September 2026, Tokyo will offer a plethora of free activities for visitors to enjoy. The city will host various exhibitions, festivals, and events across multiple venues.
One such exhibition is a collection of 25 oil paintings that trace the careers of painters Oguiss and Utrillo as they captured the essence of European streets, from Montmartre's wind-swept lanes to Venice's shifting light canals.
Brussels-based artist Ann Veronica Janssens will debut her first solo exhibition in Japan at the iconic Ginza Maison Hermès Le Forum. The glass-walled space will be transformed by light, air, and subtle disorientation, featuring 19 works that explore the fluid nature of identity. A standout piece in the show is a monumental installation inspired by Jules Verne’s novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," with a massive dome from which objects cascade.
Danilo Kato's exhibition at UltraSuperNew Kura gallery will feature the personification of thoughts and memories. Meanwhile, Chinese artist Zigsen Liu will present nine new large-scale works in Harajuku, blending Cubist, Expressionist, and psychedelic influences.
Take Ninagawa's multidimensional practice will be showcased in an exhibition centered on the game of chess, drawing on the theme from recent global retrospectives. Scai The Bathhouse will host Lee's first solo gallery show in Tokyo in four years, presenting a range of drawings and sculptures from the 1970s to recent years.
British painter Nigel Cooke will bring his nocturnal Venetian landscapes to Tokyo for his first solo exhibition, while Asakusa Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest amusement park, will offer free admission for guests wearing kimono. Yokohama Sea Paradise will host its nightly summer fireworks show with music and food and drink areas.
Additionally, a pop-up shop celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ultraman Tiga will offer goods inspired by the character and his team and monsters. Disney's mobile game "Starlink Stars" will debut its merchandise, featuring exclusive products inspired by Disney-inspired bands.
