Akio Nagasawa Gallery Aoyama, Minato

Akio Nagasawa Gallery Aoyama opened in January 2018 as the second location following the original Ginza gallery. Located in the fashionable Omotesando district, this contemporary art space represents an extension of gallery founder Akio Nagasawa's vision to showcase cutting-edge photography and visual arts. The gallery operates as part of a network that includes locations in Ginza and Toranomon, establishing itself as a significant player in Tokyo's art scene.

The gallery holds particular cultural significance for its focus on contemporary photography and experimental visual arts. Located in the Noir building on the second floor at 5-12-3 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, the space serves as a platform for both established and emerging artists working in photography and related media. The Aoyama location has hosted notable exhibitions including works by international photographers and Japanese artists exploring alternative manga and visual culture.

Visitors can expect intimate exhibitions featuring contemporary photography, experimental visual arts, and occasional artist talks. The gallery maintains a focused exhibition schedule with carefully curated shows that often explore unconventional artistic approaches. Special events such as artist talks accommodate limited audiences of 30 seats, creating an exclusive and personal experience for art enthusiasts. The space provides wheelchair and stroller access through a building ramp, though weekend access requires advance reservation.

Access is convenient with just a 5-minute walk from Omotesando Station on the Ginza, Chiyoda, or Hanzomon Lines via Exit B1. Admission to regular exhibitions is typically free, though special events and artist talks may require ticket purchase. The gallery is closed on Sundays, Mondays, and national holidays, with specific closure days varying according to exhibition schedules.
