For those of you interested in Tokyo and possibly planning a trip here you should check out Tokyo Weekender Magazine.
What is it?
It’s a lifestyle magazine and website aimed at the foreign community living in Tokyo. It covers various topics including fashion, parties, events, products and a lot more. It was traditionally aimed at the expats but the website might have an appeal to a global audience who are interested in what’s happening in Tokyo.
When did it start?
It started in 1970 back in the days before the internet, twitter and even the Sony Walkman. A lot has changed since then and with the recent updates to the website it could morph into something quite different. After the 40th Anniversary watershed there is even talk of video and audio podcasts but we’ll have to wait and see.
Blogs
One really good recent feature is the inclusion of blogs written by the editorial staff. They cover different aspects of life in Japan and are updated regularly. They include:
Tokyo Designed: A blog on cool design from Tokyo and looking for interesting new products around the metroplis
Tokyo Foodspotting: This is a great little blog with information on random culinary discoveries made in Tokyo.
Tokyo In Heels: Not all blogs on Tokyo are written by nerdy men who collect plastic dolls. This is a great blog on fashion for women in Tokyo. Check it out ladies.
