Event Period: February 4th Wed to February 14th Sat, 2026
Venue: GOOD DESIGN Marunouchi (1F Shin-Kokusai Bldg. 3-4-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)

The Otemachi-Yurakucho Photo Archive, Organizer by the Otemachi-Yurakucho Environmentally Friendly Urban Development Promotion Association (Ecozzeria Association), is an initiative to build a community of people who gather in the Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho Area by photographing and sharing changes and realizations in the city, while also promoting an archive of photographs that capture the real atmosphere of the city.
For the third "Everyone's Photo Exhibition," we solicited submissions from a wide range of people on the theme of "The Charm of the Town," and this year we received a total of 701 photos that captured wonderful moments that encapsulate the charm of the area. Of these, we will exhibit 50 particularly appealing photos, categorized by the area in which they were taken.

Venue will feature a map showing the locations where the exhibited works were shot, as well as an explanation of "nature in the city," one of the elements that shapes the charm of a city. Additionally, in the panel exhibition "The Face of the City," seven people active in the Otemachi-Yurakucho area will talk about what they think makes the city "attractive."
I would be extremely happy if this exhibition inspires those who visit to go out into the city, discover new charms of the Otemachi-Yurakucho area, and take some photos.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in this activity, submitted works, and to everyone who cooperated with the exhibition.
