Roppongi Art Night

Event Overview

Roppongi Art Night is a one-night-only art festival held under the theme of "City, Art, and the Future." The Roppongi area—including landmarks like Roppongi Hills—is transformed into a sprawling museum. As the city lights up, various buildings, streets, and plazas become stages for diverse art installations and dynamic performances, offering an incredibly exciting experience where the urban landscape meets creativity.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The true magic of this event lies in seeing everyday urban scenery transform into an extraordinary art space. For instance, the Roppongi Hills arena might host massive installations using large white balloons or high-energy physical performances. You can also experience the unique contrast between traditional spaces like Mori Garden and cutting-edge modern art, or view the city skyline from observation decks paired with artistic displays. Since some programs run through the night, you can enjoy a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere that can only be experienced in the late hours.

Schedule

The event takes place on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Program times vary depending on the venue and the specific artwork. Some locations, such as the Mori Art Museum, may extend their hours late into the night, and certain-scale performances may occur at the Roppongi Hills arena. Please be sure to check the official website for the most up-to-date start and end times for each specific program.

Venue & Access

The event is spread across multiple locations throughout the Roppongi area.

Access: Please use Roppongi Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, the Namboku Line, or the Toei Oedo Line. Many programs are designed to be enjoyed late into the night.

Tips for Visitors

Roppongi Art Night is best enjoyed by walking through the city. Since programs are scattered across many different venues, we recommend checking the locations of the artworks or performances you are most interested in beforehand. As many exhibitions are held outdoors at night, wearing comfortable walking shoes is highly recommended. Please note that operating times vary by location.

What to Bring & Etiquette

Because much of the event involves walking outdoors and moving between different sites, please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. It is also wise to bring a light jacket or layer to prepare for changes in temperature at night. For specific details regarding admission fees for certain facilities (such as the Mori Art Museum or observation decks) or reservation requirements, please check the official website.
