Metropolis was founded in 1994 as Tokyo Classified, a compendium of casual and professional English-language ads distributed with the Daily Yomiuri newspaper. Rebranded as the fully fledged magazine Metropolis in 2001, the magazine is independently owned by Japan Partnership Holdings Inc., with approximately 30,000 copies distributed to almost 900 locations in Tokyo and the Kanto area of Japan every month. Online, Metropolis has a much larger global audience interested in all things Japan. Boasting the largest distribution of any English-language magazine in Japan, the Metropolis team is proud of their ability to promote Japan to the world. With a focus on upcoming events, exhibitions and lifestyle information—including the one of the city’s most extensive events listings, Metropolis comprehensively documents what’s happening in the world’s greatest capital city.
