BONUS TRACK GALLERY 2: A Cultural Haven Awaits

On September 15, 2025, the highly anticipated BONUS TRACK GALLERY 2 will unveil itself in a prime location midway between Shimokitazawa Station and the existing BONUS TRACK area, which is only a two-minute walk from either. This new venue aims to enhance the experience of both residents and visitors by offering a welcoming space that encourages exploration and enjoyment in the community.

BONUS TRACK, first established in 2020, is already known for its array of unique shops and pleasant open plaza. The addition of GALLERY 2 will further enrich this vibrant landscape, making art and culture more accessible to everyone. Visitors will be able to enjoy free admission, ensuring that everyone can partake in the artistic offerings within this dynamic environment.

The Essence of BONUS TRACK GALLERY 2

GALLERY 2 is designed to complement the existing BONUS TRACK experience, featuring a transparent glass environment that attracts passersby and showcases a large window facing the lush outdoor area. This dual-space allows for diverse programming and creative expressions that captivate and engage the community.

Collaborating closely with the nearby Shimo-Kita Field, which is managed by Odakyu Real Estate, GALLERY 2 will host outdoor programs such as art exhibitions, product displays, multimedia projection, and cultural performances. The venue aims to be a stage for various activities—from corporate promotions to local government public relations, testing new products, and community market events.

We eagerly anticipate the unique presentations that will emerge from this space, driven by the creativity of its contributors.
