A few years ago, an anonymous graffiti artist tagged ‘Tokyo is Yours’ in multiple random places around Tokyo – on vending machines, on walls, under highways, across billboards and down alleyways. It was a message of both welcome and personal connection that spoke to locals and visitors alike, with photos of the tags gaining traction across social media.
Tokyo is Ours drops the ‘y’ but takes up the spirit of that message, offering a curated collection of things to see, do and experience in Tokyo to build your own connection with the city. It’s designed to showcase the sheer depth and breadth of what the city has to offer, whether as a first time visitor or someone returning for a deeper look. To truly experience Tokyo, it’s best to mix up the high-brow, the low-brow and everything in between. You’ll find inspirations for all of that here.
Once you’ve engaged with Tokyo on any level, you’ll understand the beauty of the ‘Tokyo is Yours’ graffiti. You’ll know that Tokyo IS yours. And it’s mine. And it’s ours.
