23rd "Ginza Galleries Night" Becomes More Enjoyable and Smooth: "japan ART EX" Adopted as Official App to Support Art Tours in Ginza

RegiStar Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuichi Iwano) is pleased to announce that its free app "japan ART EX," designed to enhance the enjoyment of art fairs, art festivals, and exhibitions, has been adopted as the official app for "Ginza Galleries Night," a roving art event organized by Ginza Galleries. This is the first time an application has been introduced for this event, which celebrates its 22nd iteration since its inception in 2004. The app will digitally expand the experience of touring 24 galleries across Ginza, providing a connection between art fans and the city of Ginza.

## Background and Aim of Introducing "japan ART EX"
"japan ART EX" was developed with the aim of enriching visitors' viewing experiences. By introducing this app to "Ginza Galleries Night," which previously relied mainly on paper maps, it will enable real-time information provision, promote circulation through a digital stamp rally, and facilitate collaboration with Ginza's bar culture. This creates an opportunity to seamlessly connect art appreciation and nightlife, rediscovering the charm of Ginza as a whole.

## Main Functions of "Ginza Galleries Night" Enjoyed with the App

1. "Digital Stamp Rally" for exclusive prizes
Participants can collect stamps by scanning QR codes installed at the 24 participating galleries.

Completion Prize: Those who complete one of the three routes (8 locations) will receive a limited-edition Ginza Galleries "badge & postcard."
Perfect Prize: Those who conquer all three routes (24 locations) will receive one copy of the art specialty magazine "Gekkan Bijutsu."
*Please note that the number of prizes is limited.

*Some galleries may only be open on May 29. Please refer to the app, website, or pamphlets distributed near the venue for each gallery's operating hours.

2. "Gallery & Exhibition Information" – for effortless and smart navigation
Easily check the locations of 24 galleries, current exhibition details, and related event information on your device. Route confirmation from your current location will also be smooth, supporting efficient gallery hopping.

3. "Surrounding Bar Guide & Exclusive Coupons" to enjoy the lingering afterglow of art
Features 7 highly recommended bars by Ginza Galleries.

Exclusive Offer: On Friday, May 29, present the in-app coupon at participating establishments to receive a Gin & Tonic at a special price of 1,650 JPY. This supports conversations and relaxation after viewing.
*Table charges and service fees apply separately.

## Comment from Ginza Galleries Secretariat
"Ginza Galleries Night" has continually experimented with various collaborations to create a special evening for enjoying art. We have long been interested in an app, and we are very pleased to finally realize it in this form. Please make use of it as a tool to actively tour the galleries of Ginza.
