Whether it's painting, fashion, handicrafts, heavy metal or avant-garde performance art that gets your juices flowing, you should be able to find it at this sprawling biannual art jamboree, held at Tokyo Big Sight every spring and autumn.

There are two-day tickets available, and trust us: you'll need them if you actually want to see everything on offer.
