MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025: A Fall Celebration of Art and Fashion in Tokyo

From October 10 (Fri) to October 13 (Mon, national holiday), one of Japan’s largest art festivals, MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025 (MYAF 2025), will take place across the Tennoz Canal area in Tokyo, spanning seven venues centered around TERRADA Warehouse.

Bringing together art with neighboring cultures such as music, fashion, and lifestyle, MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL aims to create cross-disciplinary connections that transcend boundaries. Now in its fourth year, the festival embraces the theme of “Rediscovery,” inviting visitors to reflect on the sensibilities, memories, and values that continue to shape Japan, often carried forward unconsciously through time.
