Setouchi Art and Industry 2026 adds new bus tour courses

The Japan Industrial Arts Foundation has announced the addition of two new official bus tour courses for the Setouchi Art and Industry 2026 festival. This decision follows the sell-out of the previous “Course A” and “Course B” tours.

Organized by Ryobi Tours, the new options include “Course C,” which visits four sites, and “Course D,” which visits five sites. Both tours are scheduled for October 27, 2026, departing from the West Exit of Okayama Station. The tours allow participants to experience art installations integrated into active industrial sites and factories, such as PowerX, Kojima Jeans Street, and Mikuni Kogyo.

The Setouchi Art and Industry 2026 festival is a decentralized art event held across seven venues in Okayama and Ehime prefectures, utilizing industrial plants and manufacturing sites as stages for artistic works.
