Death Fes 2026

- A festival to make death more pop and redefine end-of-life planning -
April 11 (Sat) - April 16 (Thu), 11:00-20:00 (Check website for daily closing times at COURT; ends at 17:00 on the final day)

How freely can you talk about "death"? In Japan, death is often treated as a taboo, yet we all have a "100% mortality rate." Death is an inevitable part of life and is continuous with living. Death Fes is an event that re-examines "death" from multifaceted perspectives, including end-of-life planning, views on life and death, well-being, religion, culture, and technology. Through experiential programs such as talk sessions, coffin-entry experiences, and AI memorial portrait photography, we provide a space to rethink how we live today, using "death" as a catalyst. The event is held annually around April 14th, "Good Death Day."
