Yokohama Triennale
The Yokohama Triennale is Japan's leading international contemporary art event, held in the historic port city of Yokohama. Founded in 2001, it unfolds across the Yokohama Museum of Art and BankART alongside site-specific installations in the city's extraordinary industrial waterfront — one of Japan's most atmospheric settings.

Each edition brings together artists from Japan and across the world under a bold thematic framework, commissioning new works that engage with global questions while remaining deeply attentive to Japan's visual and philosophical traditions. The Triennale is an essential window onto both the Japanese art scene and the wider Asia-Pacific contemporary moment.
Yokohama in spring is breathtaking — cherry blossoms transform the waterfront parks, and the city's blend of Meiji-era Western architecture, China Town energy, and contemporary creativity is at its most vivid. The proximity to Tokyo (30 minutes by train) makes it easy to combine both cities.
City Guides
Yokohama rewards exploration beyond the Triennale. The Sankei-en traditional garden, the Yokohama Museum of Art, BankART's converted dockside warehouses, and the historic Kannai district all offer exceptional experiences. The world's largest Chinatown is steps from the waterfront. Tokyo's world-class museums are a short train ride away.
