Yokohama Portside District: The City of Art + Design
Food, Art, People and the City / Fall 2023
Duration: Thursday, November 2 - Saturday, December 2, 2023
Exhibition dates and times are subject to the business days and hours of each store/facility.
Please purchase food and beverages at participating restaurants to view the exhibition.
The Yokohama Portside District has evolved into a redevelopment project based on the concept of an "art and design district" in conjunction with the development of the adjacent Minato Mirai 21 district. The sophisticated design of the streetscape and numerous public artworks are located in the district.
For this year's event, artworks will be exhibited in and around the Yokohama Portside District at restaurants, stores, office entrances, and other locations. Please explore the district and its surroundings with a map distributed at participating stores. Some stores will offer special services upon presentation of the map.
* Maps are provided at BankART Station (New Takashima Station) and participating stores.
Artworks will reveal themselves in the Yokohama Portside district's restaurants, stores, and surrounding areas! Enjoy food, art, people, and the city with a map in hand!
