In collaboration with the international art fair Art Basel, Art Week Tokyo (AWT), a four-day art festival introducing the creativity and diversity of Japanese contemporary art and the communities developed within it, is scheduled to take place from November 3 to November 6, 2022.

Over 50 art spaces will be connected by the shuttle bus that takes six different routes and runs at an interval of 15 minutes. Visitors can enjoy unlimited free rides by simply downloading the free official AWT PASS app, which also features map and bus tracking.
