Listen nowThe Tenth Mosaic takes place in Tokyo on 22–23 September 2026 at the Institut français de Tokyo. The two-day festival brings together Japanese and international game creators for multilingual talks, live game music, exhibitions, live drawing and an indie-game showcase. Base admission is ¥2,000 for one day. Creator talks require a separate limited-seat ¥3,000 ticket as well as the base admission ticket.
The event is particularly useful for international residents because the organiser says all creator talks will be available in English, French and Japanese. The official programme and ticket details were checked on 21 September 2026.
When and where is The Tenth Mosaic Tokyo 2026?
Venue: Institut français de Tokyo, 15 Ichigaya Funagawaramachi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 162-0826.
How much are tickets?
The base ticket costs ¥2,000 and gives one-day access to the exhibitions, live music, indie-game showcase and live drawing. If you want to attend a creator talk, you also need a ¥3,000 talk-session ticket. Talk tickets have limited capacity and do not include general admission, so you need both.
Tickets are sold through the organiser’s official Peatix link. Because talk capacity is limited, check availability before travelling.
What are the main highlights?
The programme ranges from major creator conversations to game music and visual art. Confirmed sessions include a conversation between Eric Chahi and Fumito Ueda; a reunion of Persona creators Katsura Hashino, Shigenori Soejima and Shoji Meguro; a horror-game discussion with Frédérick Raynal, Keiichiro Toyama, Makoto Shibata and Hifumi Kono; and sessions featuring Yoko Taro, Keisuke Okabe, Kazutaka Kodaka, Masafumi Takada and Tetsuya Mizuguchi.
The live-music programme includes game music associated with Yuzo Koshiro, Saori Kobayashi, Rez and Enemy Zero. There is also a Japanese indie-game showcase, live drawing by Katsuya Terada, board-game material and exhibitions covering game art and hardware.
Why is this a good event for international residents?
Many Tokyo culture events are difficult to follow without Japanese. The Tenth Mosaic is unusually accessible because the main creator talks are designed for English-, French- and Japanese-speaking audiences. It also combines music, art and games in one venue, so you do not need to be a specialist game-industry visitor to get value from the day.
Will Typhoon Dujuan affect travel to the festival?
JR East is currently warning that Typhoon Dujuan may cause delays or cancellations on Tokyo-area rail routes into the early morning of 22 September. The festival website still lists the event for 22–23 September, but transport conditions can change quickly.
Before leaving, check the organiser’s website and JR East live status. Babylon is also maintaining a live guide to Typhoon Dujuan transport disruption in Tokyo and Kanto.
