This autumn, discover the world of Edo-period ukiyo-e through the works of two legendary artists, Utagawa Kunisada and Utagawa Kuniyoshi, in the heart of Tokyo's Kabukicho district. Although both artists studied under Utagawa Toyokuni I, they each developed their own distinctive artistic style and became two of the most celebrated ukiyo-e masters of the late Edo period. Kunisada was famous for his elegant portraits of kabuki actors and beautiful women, while Kuniyoshi captivated audiences with dramatic warrior prints, imaginative storytelling, and his unmistakable sense of humour. This special exhibition showcases far more than shunga (Japanese erotic art). Visitors will also enjoy a carefully curated collection of bijin-ga (beautiful women prints), kabuki actor prints, warrior prints, illustrated books, and woodblock prints ranging from large masterpieces to delicate miniature works. ■ Age Restriction■ Admission is restricted to visitors aged 18 and over. ID may be requested.

I found a new hobby
I found a new hobby in the Edo period erotic art. There’s so much more to each piece when looking at the images. Not just the erotic scenes but the colors, the background, and stories. It’s much more than erotic it’s timeless art . I recommend checking out the gift shop as well

Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY cost?
+
Prices start at ¥2,200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY?
+
Included: Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Shinjuku Kabukicho Ukiyo-e & Shunga Exhibition TICKET ONLY?
+
Kabukicho Noh Theater 新宿歌舞伎町能舞台 THIS IS NOT A TOUR THIS IS A TICKET FOR A GALLERY the meeting point indicates the first venue for the gallery Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+
