Our Metropolis Autumn 2024 Issue is out now and the theme is Wellness!

As the crisp autumnal air sweeps across Tokyo, this issue is all about well-being in Japan’s chillier months. Among the highlights are drag queen Labianna talking about sexual wellness in Japan, an exploration of the tranquil forest bathing practice and an editor’s guide to Tokyo’s most soothing sento (that are also tattoo-friendly). Discover the healthy crunch of homemade Japanese pickles, our top healthy dining spots, a lineup of seasonal events to fill your calendar and so much more. Embrace the season of change, and nurture your well-being together with the Metropolis community. Plus, we celebrate our 30th anniversary, and invite you to our Halloween Party!

We showcase local businesses to help international residents, top spots for tourists to visit, trendsetters in the spotlight and much, much more in Metropolis Autumn 2024.
