It can get exhausting walking around Tokyo. There are very few areas that have gathered art galleries and you might not feel like navigating yourself through a mapped plan. There are a couple of complex / buildings that have collective art galleries, art & design shops, art organizations, art schools, and art & design show rooms. These buildings will allow you to spend a good amount of time walking around at one destination.

Design Festa Gallery  B
Open: 10:00 – 19:00 everyday
Adress: 3-20-18 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001 (Google Maps)
Design Festa is one of the largest arts festival in Asia. If you are not in Tokyo during their crazy festival, don’t worry. They operate a large gallery building in Harajuku throughout the year and it’s well worth a visit just for it’s unique space. This renovated building holds multiple rooms for solo shows, fashion show rooms, group shows, to individual art pieces. Their wall murals indoors and outdoors change time to time, with even the bathroom being a burst of visual stimulation. Don’t miss their second floor and separated gallery space on the other side of the building. If you need a break there is Design Festa Cafe & Bar (J) where you can enjoy drinks for very reasonable prices. Connected to this gallery is also a restaurant called Sakura Tei (B) where you can enjoy Japanese okomiyaki & monjayaki in rooms filled with wonderful art by artists from Design Festa. (Sakura Tei is also very reasonably priced and I would recommended going with a group of people!)

AXIS is a great place to visit if you are interested in cutting edge design. Their space exhibits a wide range of creativity from contemporary art to new forms of design.

Brasserie Va-tout (E) on the first floor provides casual french and offers great deals for lunch. If you are interested in simple yet fine Japanese food, on their basement floor is the high-end restaurant Hishinuma (E) which won two Micheline stars.
