Journey through time and Tokyo with our Summer Issue. Past and future collide as we meet visionaries transforming akiya houses, YouTubers embracing kimono tradition, and culinary guides spanning from retro flavors to cutting-edge cuisine. Dive into exclusive interviews and a season of stories that transcend time, filling your summer in Japan with things to do, new places to explore and all that’s happening in the city.

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