This year, the three-day SHINKIBA CREATIVE HUB2026 event, which opens factory doors to the public, will be held in the Shinkiba–Tatsumi area. The participating companies and content will be expanded, with the aim of attracting more visitors than last year.
SHINKIBA CREATIVE HUB2026 will be held for 3 days from 10 to 12 December 2026 as a community-based event in the Shinkiba–Tatsumi area that opens local factories and companies to the public. Last year, 14 companies participated and opened 9 factories and company facilities, and this year’s event is expected to be larger and more extensive.
SHINKIBA CREATIVE HUB is an initiative that aims to “re-layer” the accumulated history of the area from a contemporary perspective. By opening the doors of factories and companies and showcasing their materials, technologies and people, it promotes connections between visitors and the community.
A total of 3,282 people attended the inaugural event last year. It received high satisfaction ratings from participants and was covered by Yahoo! News and programs on TV Tokyo, among others. Visitors were mainly businesspeople and members of the general public with children.
This year’s event outline includes free admission, with some workshops subject to a fee, as well as programs such as OPEN FACTORY & EXHIBITION and WORK SHOP&MARKET. Tours of companies and factories that are not normally open to the public, workshops and a market are planned.
