Inclusion Art Sprint at Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery (30–60 min, self-guided)

Quick Overview

Drop into a calm, street-level gallery by Shibuya's Koen-dori and explore short, thought-provoking shows on inclusion, outsider art, and creative diversity. Entry is free, doors open 11:00–19:00, and it's an easy 8-minute walk from Hachikō.

What You'll Do

• 2-Room Dash (10–20 min): Start at Gallery 1, then loop Gallery 2. Read one wall text fully and pick a single work that speaks to you—title it in your own words
• Micro Reflection (5–10 min): In your notes app, finish the prompt: "Inclusion feels like…" using three adjectives you get from the works
• Texture Hunt (10–15 min): Find three contrasting "materials or mark-making" (e.g., stitched cloth / thick paint / pencil line). Snap detail photos only where signage allows
• Exit Share (5 min): Outside the entrance, take a keepsake photo of the Koen-dori side (no artworks in frame) and jot one sentence you'll remember

What's Included

• Self-guided route with 3 mini-missions (above)
• English website pages for hours and access; on-site labels vary by exhibition
