“Echigo-Tsumari Art Field 2026” will conclude on Sunday, November 8, but some facilities remain open year-round, and certain artworks will be on view until late November. Even if you were unable to visit during the festival period, we invite you to enjoy the seasonal scenery and artworks unique to this time of year as Echigo-Tsumari transitions from fall to winter. We would also like to inform you of the year-end and New Year’s holiday closures for each facility. Please check these dates in advance before planning your visit.
*Please note that the “Echigo-Tsumari Art Field 2026 Common Ticket” will no longer be valid; please purchase individual tickets on-site.
