Metropolis

Established in 1994 as Tokyo Classifieds and later re-branded as Metropolis magazine, we were Japan’s first English-language free paper, and we have maintained this leadership position ever since. Metropolis is created by foreign writers, editors and designers for the foreign community, and this shows in the quality and usefulness of stories and information published. While there are a number of other foreign-language publications in Tokyo, only one magazine attracts a legion of dedicated Japan-based journalists, bloggers and pundits who are experts in their respective fields. As a result, foreign readers trust Metropolis and use it as a lifestyle guide.
