Business Overview
T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYO is an outdoor international photo festival held in the center of a major city, which is rare in the world. The main stage is Yaesu, Nihonbashi and Kyobashi in Tokyo. In particular, Yaesu and Kyobashi are located between Tokyo Station, Ginza and Nihonbashi, but for many people, they have the image of a business district. However, if you look into its history, it is an area where culture flourished as a castle town during the Edo period, and many cultural figures frequented the area during the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. Even today, there are more than 150 antique shops and art galleries, and there is a high potential as one of the major art centers in Tokyo. Through exhibitions of works by world-class artists and public programs, as well as the "STUDENT PROJECT," which is held in cooperation with 14 art colleges and technical schools in Japan, the exhibition aims to make the area a "hub in Asia for the next generation of photographic culture."
