Startup Factory has announced the second annual Shibuya Startup Culture Festival, scheduled for November 3, 2026, at Shibuya Hikarie Hall A in Tokyo. The free, experiential event aims to allow visitors to engage with startups and major corporations through a festival-like atmosphere.
Following a successful inaugural event in 2025 that drew approximately 3,000 attendees, this year's festival will scale up in size and venue. The first wave of participants includes CyberAgent, Dwango, Nelly, and HA-LU. Featured guests include Osamu Suzuki, Jin and Shogo Iwaya from THE RAMPAGE, Takumi Goto from Shisen Tonshin, Takafumi Horie, and members of the popular reality show ‘Kyou, Suki ni Narimashita.’
Planned activities include a Niconico 20th anniversary festival area, free beauty experiences involving hair, eyes, and nails, and interactive stage content such as Animal Crossing streaming sessions.
