On October 9, the Mt. Fuji Art Festival Executive Committee announced that the official guide map for the "Mt. Fuji Art Festival 2026" is complete. The festival runs from Saturday, October 17 to Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 17 venues across Yamanashi Prefecture.
See art in museums and historic buildings
The overall theme is "Living." In addition to museums, temples and historic buildings serve as exhibition spaces, presenting the works together with the architecture. The published materials feature works by Naohiro Okamoto, Taido Ishida and Masatsugu Ito, as well as the Tomioka family residence, one of the venues.
The official guide map includes the exhibiting artists, the theme of each venue, the dates, opening hours and admission information. From October 17, it will be given free of charge to ticket purchasers at each venue. It is a booklet for checking the exhibition conditions of each venue.
Hands-on workshops with traditional crafts
The planned activities include making demon-face roof tiles, coloring parent-and-child daruma dolls, gemstone polishing, hand-made washi paper and making sparklers. Besides viewing works, visitors will have the chance to handle materials and make something themselves.
Participation fees and how to sign up differ for each workshop. Not every activity can be joined with the common passport alone, so you need to check the information for the experience you want to join.
Note the dates and admission conditions of each venue
How to buy the common passport is explained on the official website. Paper tickets are sold at participating shops, and day tickets are sold at each venue during the festival. Koufu Kameyaza is not covered by the common passport. Some museums and temples require a separate admission or visiting fee.
Dates and opening hours differ by venue, and some exhibitions are also held before and after the festival period. The latest exhibition and activity information can be checked on the official website.
