ABOUT EASTOKYO
A MAGAZINE
FOR THE CITY
THAT HAS EVERYTHING.
Eastokyo is an independent travel and culture magazine about the very best of Tokyo—where to stay, what to eat, what to see and where to be.
Created in Tokyo. Covering the whole city.
Tokyo rewards people who look beyond the obvious.
OUR POINT OF VIEW
Not more Tokyo.
The right Tokyo.
The city does not need another generic list of attractions. Eastokyo exists to edit Tokyo properly: exceptional hotels, memorable dining rooms, independent shops, art, design, nightlife and neighborhoods with a reason to return.
We care about atmosphere as much as information. Every recommendation should help a reader make a better decision while showing what makes a place feel unmistakably of this city.
WHAT WE COVER
The city, in four essential movements.
EAT
Restaurants, counters, cafés and bars with personality, precision and a reason to make the journey.
DO
Art, design, architecture, shopping and neighborhoods that reveal a richer version of Tokyo.
AFTER DARK
Cocktails, listening rooms, late dinners and the electric city that appears after sunset.
HOW WE WORK
Independent judgment.
Original photography.
Clear disclosure.
Eastokyo features places because they are worth a reader’s time. Editorial stories, hosted experiences and paid partnerships are identified clearly. Commercial support never pretends to be independent reporting.
Our stories are concise by design. We would rather publish one useful, beautifully photographed recommendation than a long article padded with things nobody needs to read.
Read the editorial policy →ISSUE NO. 01 · AUGUST 2026
A confident beginning, not an overfilled debut.
The first issue introduces Eastokyo through a compact collection of stories spanning a hotel, a restaurant or bar, a neighborhood, art and design, nightlife, a Tokyo itinerary and one person shaping the city.
Eastokyo is founded, written and photographed by James Simmons in Tokyo, with future contributions from people who know the city intimately.
