One of the few artist-run spaces in Tokyo, Design Festa Gallery is tucked away in the trendy back alleys of Jingumae. Once you find the right street, you can’t miss the psychadellic monster of a building. In its belly are studio spaces and about a dozen small exhibition rooms showcasing an array of young local illustrators, designers and artists of all persuasions. They have a little café with snacks, yummy herbal teas, sake and lounges, and they sometimes have parties in their outside garden area. With free wifi internet (another rarity in this town) it’s the perfect way to pass the afternoon (and possibly evening), escaping the manic chaos of the world’s biggest metropolis.
Design Festa Gallery is part of Design Festa, a huge biannual exhibiting event held in Tokyo for artists and designers from all over the world.

I would love to hang here for the afternoon/evening and have a few wines... see how it made me feel... too bad we can't smell the photo's ... no scratch, blog and sniff.
The ambience looks like it would be a regular oasis ...*lol* especially if a small band played something unusual?
Nothing to compare in Brisbane unfortunately.
