Design Festa Gallery Review

It is a gallery where you can relax and spend There was a corner like a maze in the building

Go eat at the restaurant, good young atmosphere, in a street art atmosphere

Stumbled upon this by mistake. I was just walking past on my way to dinner and was greeted in. The showcase was all student art mostly anime/manga. Well set out, friendly people. Definitely worth the 30 min detour, would have like to have spent longer but ran out of time. Recommend if you are in the area.

one of the most charming and pulsating place in the city

A truly incredible gallery where artists are regularly present to discuss and exchange.

A truly amazing place next to what not to spend

Lots of rooms each is generally use to present a different artist. You can have your pieces shown and sold here. There is also a restaurant and the east gallery is on the other side (go through the courtyard and pass the cafe).

Alternative art gallery: it is a three-storey building where, in the various rooms, little or nothing known local artists exhibit their creations, photographs, paintings, manga, sculptures ... They are temporary exhibitions so if you are lucky you can find something truly valid, in any case the artists are always available to illustrate their works. The most interesting part, however, is the location itself: a small building, in fact, on whose facade a very particular construction of pipes is installed; on the back there is also a restaurant decorated with urban-punk style murals, where you can enjoy an excellent okonomiaki, preparing it yourself with ingredients of your choice or with the help of the girls who run it, very nice. There are many tourists but also many locals, especially students. There is also a bar where not bad coffee is served, in a nice covered garden.
Don't forget to take souvenir postcards!

A mysterious space where you can enjoy paintings by various artists. There is also a simple snack.

One of my favourite places to go to in Harajuku. Every time I'm in Tokyo. Since 2006.

Both WEST and EAST are like ordinary houses, and there are 4 to 5 small rooms.

Alternative creative place. Feels like a little trip to Berlin :) nice street art.

Free gallery
Depending on the shop, it was difficult to enter because there were some exciting places in my family ...

cool little showcase area for local artists. has an indie vibe (which we like), and the place was decorated with fun, colorful murals.

there's no admission fee or anything, and, there's also a little bar/restaurant.

Hope this place will stay in business for a long time!

Recommended visit if you are in the area, there is always an exhibition or event, it is very good if you want to connect with locals and talk a little

We hold a lot of small-scale solo exhibitions regardless of genre. Although there are also in other people's reviews, the atmosphere like a big festival of celebrations is casually and fun. Although it is divided by east and west, it is difficult to understand it is difficult.

I went for the first time, but there is a fun like a toy box

Very cool place to visit, go around the back to see the wall murals

Superb patio bar in the center of the sweltering streets of Harajuku. Come and have a refreshing beer and some fresh air. The small art gallery will keep you busy for no more than 5 minutes. And if you feel like it, you only have to walk 5 meters to eat okonomiyaki at the restaurant next door.

The art itself wasn't really my thing, but I loved the building itself, all the stencils and scaffolding on the outside, and some of the murals around the area.

It is a space where you can freely move around and appreciate artworks. There are times when there are a lot of works that suit your taste, and sometimes there are works that don't fit at all. I think this is also fun. If you are interested in design, please drop by. Once you find a piece you like, you'll hear it whenever you go to Tokyo.

Very interesting, the exhibited works change but of course it is worth paying a while out there, and the environment is very interesting too.

Free Art Space
It might be good to come when you come to Harajuku.

It is not just a place to go with a feeling like sightseeing without any purpose. It is really like an university student's circle exhibition.

An amazing space which features many different exhibitions from artists from all over the world. Changing day to day. There is a small gift shop and also a place to eat inside. Would highly recommend going. It is also free!

I think it's a wonderful space where you can meet various arts (illustrations, photographs, etc.) throughout the year.
If there are any artists or exhibitions that interest me, I will come as much as possible.

The building looks like an apartment refurbished. It's like a gallery space where students mainly open stores. When I went there, I felt that it was a part of the university's cultural festival, but I think there are times when I can meet good works depending on the timing.

The exhibition hall is EAST and WEST, the entrance is different so be careful.
It is a place close to Harajuku, but you can walk to Omotesando station if you pass the back of Omotesando Hills.

It is a very particular art gallery, it looks like a maze at the beginning, but it is worth seeing so different art near Shibuya.

Galley showcasing artist works. Interesting to browse around. Free admission. There's a cafe and an okonomiyaki restaurant within the complex as well.

You can drink delicious salmon for 250 yen at an adjacent cafe, you can smoke cigarettes, and above all, it is amazing to be able to exhibit at a low price in a prime location in Harajuku

Just stumbled across the place whilst walking through the backstreets. Great little place full of interesting work across many disciplines. Love the quiet cafe/restaurant in the garden in the middle.

You can get a glimpse of various contemporary art scenes.

At first glance, many people visit, so I think it's a place where you can make new discoveries, both as an exhibitor and as a viewer. A place that beginners can recommend from either perspective. The okonomiyaki and lunch at the annex are also nice.

The interior is complicated and there are some places that are quite cozy, so I think it is difficult to enter, but since you can see various works on both the exterior and interior, I think that it is not bad for exploring when you have time.

It is a gallery where various events are held. The space divided into small sections overflows with many exhibitors.

Free wifi available and right next to it there is a Sakura Tei okonomiyaki restaurant here !
Great place to chill !

Hidden in a quiet corner of Harajuku, this art gallery presents local artists and their work within a very stylish space. Though small, it s a great space to look through on your day trip to harajuku!

There s even an okonomiyaki restaurant caught in the middle of their west and east gallery, and an outdoor cafe that serves beer! Instantly one of my favorite places in Harajuku to get away from the crowds at Takeshita street

Interesting galleries from street as artists! Definitely go when you're in Harajuku.

Great spot. Keep coming back every time we visit Japan. Lovely art, great food and atmosphere.

It is a gallery where young artists bring their works, but it is a nest-like and interesting space.
It's a space unique to Tokyo, an information transmission city that always displays something.
Because there are the East and the apartment, it may be a little difficult to understand the location.

A great location to discover young Japanese talents

It's fun because I can talk to writers who were made with various works.

Kind of an alternative style place, the kind of place you would tipically find in Berlin. There you can see several small exhibitions of different local artist. The place also has a really nice inner courtyard, beer garden style, where you can get several kinds of beers, Japanese and western. Behind this beer garden you have a pretty nice okonomiyaki restaurant (worth trying).
No entrance fee, met several nice people there: I would definitely recommend this place

A corner in Harajuku, such as art and design areas. But wrapped inside the exhibition, each feeling it

If I lived in Tokyo I would go there every week. They always have interesting exhibitions. Loved this place.

There is always something on display
Creative place

You will find a space that suits you.
The size is just right for an individual exhibition.

It is difficult to understand the route, but you can enjoy various exhibits

Small enclosure in which several artists are placed to sell their drawings or articles.

I went to see the photo exhibition, but there are several small rooms, various events are being held at the same time, and if there is time, there will be new discoveries.

Originally it was an apartment which we rented out as a gallery.
Since the flow line is an apartment, it is difficult to direct the production, but it may be reasonable to invite close friends and display.

Interesting, changing galleries, you can meet even some of the artists, no entrance fee. I recommend.

It's okay.
There's nothing too exciting here.
The art is not my thing.
The building is worth a snap.

Artists with different styles and techniques offer you in the various rooms that make up this building to discover their works. Of course, you will be more sensitive according to the creation (it is subjective). Do not miss the bar in the courtyard !!!

Quaint and cute. Was a little bit disappointed by the displays here, mostly just typical Japanese kawaii anime. Was hoping for more depth. However, I know the gallery is different from the talent it showcases.

Great gallery space for the Tokyo artist community. Do check it out if you like art and culture.

I ended up Takeshita street which has many people. It might be tough if it is a holiday.
I think that it varies from time to time, but I enjoyed various exhibitions

Even if you go, it is a fun place to see stimulating works. I think that you can enjoy it even if you are not interested in art. It is my favorite gallery.

If you like art, you can not miss the design Festa gallery. It is a place where you will see many works of amateur artists. Free admission and a good way to get to know young art.

Kinda of an old building but there were lots of small rooms perfect for aspiring artists to rent and fidokay their artwork. Very conveniently located close to Harajuku Station.

When I was working in the neighborhood, I enjoyed drinking coffee here in the daytime.

Some interesting exhibitions, nice spacious layout and seats if you want to take your time.

Didn't get a chance to try the cafe but it looked great - from what I saw there's a DIY Okonomiyaki option!

Ever changing array of indie artists displaying their work.

I bought cool postcards for a very cheap price and sent them to my friends by mail. Friends were glad
