6okken is an artist-run residency and arts organisation at the foot of Mt. Fuji, on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, Japan. Six houses stand together in a small village, and the eight members - across contemporary art, architecture, photography, design and editing - live in them, keeping up their own practice while running the residency. Incorporated as a general incorporated association in 2023, 6okken also carries out R&D projects with artists and researchers, residential education programs, and joint projects with cultural organisations and municipalities in Japan and abroad. More than 50 artists from over 22 countries have stayed so far.

Six houses stand together in a small village on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The artists who run 6okken live here, working on their own projects while you work on yours. Two of the six houses are for residents.

Your group has a whole house to itself for one to three four-week terms: HOUSE4 takes up to six people, HOUSE5 up to seven. No more than two groups stay at a time, one in each house, and everyone shares the garden, a garage for larger work, and a common living room and studio.
