The Joys of Living is a popular event created by Hobonichi in collaboration with various companies and brands. This year, it will be held at three venues: Marunouchi, Shinjuku, and Fukuoka. Each venue has a theme, and each will feature events with different themes.

The Joys of Living is a shopping-centered event created by Hobonichi in collaboration with a variety of artists, connoisseurs, brands, shops, and companies. First held in Roppongi in 2017, it has been held in Ebisu, Marunouchi, and Umeda, changing in scale and location, and has also expanded to include experiential events other than shopping, such as workshops, attractions, and mini-live concerts.


This year, the "Joys of Life" exhibition will be held at three venues. Starting in Marunouchi, Tokyo, it will then travel to Shinjuku and Fukuoka. Each venue has an entirely different theme, so even if you attend all the venues, you'll be able to enjoy each one with a fresh feeling.

With a 25m-high glass ceiling and set in the spacious triangular plaza of the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building, the "The Joys of Living" exhibition will be held on the largest scale ever. Not only will there be an array of classic shops, both old and new, large and small, but there will also be workshops and shows that make dynamic use of the space. It's a week of early summer where you'll have fun just coming, and there'll be a different joy every day, making you feel like "This is what a joy exhibition is all about!" This event also doubles as the opening event for the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building Triangular Plaza.
