SAIKONEON has been running since 2019 on the shore of Lake Saiko in Yamanashi, two hours from Tokyo and within sight of Mount Fuji. Residents get a private studio and a private bedroom with shared kitchen and bathroom, and stay from one to three months across fixed month-long terms. The residency is deliberately unstructured — research, making and exchange rather than a programme to attend — and takes a small international group at a time.

Open to artists and designers of any nationality working across media — painting, photography, film, installation, writing, dance, performance, music, manga and design. Applications are accepted year-round and selected by the curatorial team on the strength and originality of the work rather than career status. No scholarships or financial assistance are offered, but the residency will write documents supporting grant applications in the artist's own country.
