Our Metropolis Summer Issue 2023 is out now! We asked our writers to dig deep into different local scenes across Tokyo and Japan, to bring you slices of daily life and discovery. Come explore small-town life on Japan’s most active volcano, chow down on Tokyo’s best local food and meet content creators who made Japan their home. Read this issue’s stories by picking up a magazine copy around Tokyo (locations below) or online.

If all that’s still not enough for you, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook for the very latest updates on our articles and Tokyo news. If you’re looking to dive into the music scene here, check out our Spotify, and if you’d ever like to get in touch with us, whether you have a story to share or just have a question, drop us a message at editor@metropolisjapan.com or DM us on Instagram.
