Review

This alternative art space opened in 2008 and holds a couple of exhibitions a month, focusing mainly on young, up-and-coming artists. It’s not uncommon for artists who are represented by other commercial galleries to exhibit their more experimental work at Ongoing, and you might even get a chance to rub shoulders with the artists themselves at the seminars and live events that are held during exhibitions. The ¥400 entrance fee includes a complimentary cup of tea in the ground floor café; they also do some decent grub, including an 'Ongoing Burger' and laksa noodle soup.
