Tokyo Weekender magazine is Japan’s premier English publication.
Founded in 1970, the Weekender has been the cornerstone of expat life for over four decades.
Through the years Weekender has evolved from a newsprint tabloid in Japan’s bubble-era, to a full-color glossy magazine and a daily-updated website, with tens of thousands of readers each month.
Today, the Weekender continues that long tradition, bringing all the latest events, news, views and interviews from the world’s biggest city, Tokyo.
Tokyo Weekender is available by subscription from BC Media Group or Fuji San (Japan’s largest magazine distribution company). The magazine is also delivered to selected retailers, embassies, international companies, universities, hotels, restaurants and bars in the Kanto region.
If you are new to Weekender, yokoso! Let us be your guide to the world’s greatest city!
