YOXO Festival activities in Minato Mirai Yokohama

YOXO Festival 2026

YOXO Festival 2026 is a large-scale innovation festival held in Yokohama. YOXO, short for Yokohama Cross-Over, invites the public to experience emerging technologies, creative ideas and future-focused projects through hands-on interaction. Spread across the Minato Mirai area, the festival brings together startups, companies, researchers, creators and local organizations to showcase experimental technologies and real-world demonstration projects shaping the future of society.

Across three days, visitors can explore interactive exhibits, workshops and talk sessions covering fields such as AI, mobility, robotics, science, sustainability, education and digital creativity. Designed for a broad audience, the festival welcomes families, students, professionals and anyone curious about how technology and innovation intersect with everyday life. The atmosphere blends the energy of a city-wide festival with opportunities for learning, discovery and direct engagement.

Many exhibits and activities are free to attend, though some workshops and sessions may require advance registration or a separate fee. The event is organized to encourage casual exploration, allowing visitors to move freely between venues and experiences throughout the day.
