A New Era of Art Exploration in Ginza

The 23rd edition of the unique event Gallery Night in Ginza is set to be more enjoyable than ever, thanks to the japan ART EX app. Developed by Regist Art Co., Ltd., this free app will be utilized as the official application for the art event designed to enhance the experience of attendees. This year marks a significant milestone as it is the first time technology has been integrated into this annual affair since its inception in 2004.

As art enthusiasts explore the 24 galleries in Ginza, the app promises to digitally enhance their experience, connecting art lovers with the vibrant streets of Ginza. It will allow attendees to not only discover art but also engage with the nightlife, creating opportunities to rediscover Ginza’s allure.

Background and Objectives of the App Implementation

The japan ART EX app aims to enrich the visitor experience in several ways. Traditionally, the event relied on printed maps, but the new application offers real-time updates, a digital stamp rally, and integration with Ginza's bar culture. Now, art viewing and nightlife can seamlessly connect, providing a holistic and exciting exploration of Ginza.
