ART SPACE 89 at Akihabara, Tokyo

An art gallery and exhibition space on the first floor of a Sotokanda building.

ART SPACE 89 is a small art gallery and exhibition space on the first floor of the Koritsu Building in Sotokanda 5-chome, set amid Akihabara's growing cluster of contemporary art venues. The gallery hosts rotating exhibitions of contemporary works, complementing nearby art spaces such as 3331 Arts Chiyoda and the NOHGA Hotel art programme that draw on Akihabara's restless creative energy. Its Sotokanda location places it between Suehirocho and Akihabara stations.

The compact venue suits emerging artists and short-run shows, offering an alternative to the area's figure and electronics shops. Visitors can pair a visit with the surrounding galleries and the nearby Kanda Shrine grounds.
