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.
