Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc premiered September 19, racking up nearly three billion yen (USD $20 million) in box office receipts in its first 10 days. The film follows the story of teenage devil hunter Denji and his encounter with a mysterious girl named Reze; it serves as a continuation of the Chainsaw Man anime series based on the manga of the same name, which has sold over 100 million copies globally to date.Such a massively popular franchise demands performers equally as influential for its film soundtrack – enter Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada, easily two of Japan's biggest pop stars. The unexpected duo team up for the first time to perform the film's ending theme, 'Jane Doe'. Photo: Reissue Records The track was written and composed by Yonezu, who's been a veritable force in the music industry for over a decade and boasts numerous accolades. He recently received even more recognition, as his 2022 track 'Kick Back', the opening theme for the Chainsaw Man series, was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) just last month. It's the first Japanese-language song to earn the certification, so it's no surprise that Yonezu was called back to write for the Chainsaw Man film.Yonezu co-produced 'Jane Doe' with previous collaborator Yaffle and tagged the one and only Hikaru Utada as co-vocalist. As one of the most successful music artists in Japan, whose 1999 album First Love remains the best-selling album in Japanese music history to th

We all know that big cities like Tokyo and Osaka are great places to be, but let's face it: Japan is home to plenty of smaller locations that we're sometimes guilty of overlooking. One such place is Hamamatsu.This seaside city lies right in between Tokyo and Osaka, making it the perfect stop along the way to either location. With its many historical sites and its status as a leader in Japanese manufacturing, Hamamatsu offers an exciting mix of tradition and modernity for visitors to experience.Word to the wise: getting around won't be quite as convenient as in Tokyo. Taxis will be your best bet for most places, so we recommend having a taxi app or two in your arsenal while you're there. That said, read on for some of our favourite things to do in Hamamatsu.RECOMMENDED: 15 best day trips for a weekend getaway from Tokyo

If you’ve tried amazake, chances are it was from a paper cup at a winter festival; a warming, comforting and nutritious beverage to keep you going in chilly weather. But this sweet white non-alcoholic drink made from fermented rice is traditionally a summer beverage.Nicknamed ‘drinkable IV’ (as in ‘intravenous drip’), amazake is heralded as a remedy for natsubate (summer heat fatigue), and it’s believed to offer a myriad of health benefits – some even claim it helps with hangovers. Unsurprisingly, given its superfood billing, amazake is now widely available all year round.Read on to learn more about the nutritious beverage, plus how to make it and where to buy it.

What Tokyoite doesn’t like to flaunt a little city trivia to impress a visiting friend or family member? But if you really want to appear like a local expert, not just any old fact will do – you need the really important stuff, like how many bars are there in Golden Gai? How did Sangenjaya become so damn hip? Why can’t Tokyo seem to beat Osaka in the highly competitive discipline of mass Bon Odori dancing? We’ve got these and plenty more essential (and essentially useless) Tokyo facts for you right here. Tokyo world records As you might imagine for a city this size, Tokyo holds a worthy amount of world records, some of them more unusual than others. Here are our favourites. 1. World’s most visited one-group museum Ever since digital art impresarios teamLab debuted their dazzling interactive creations around a decade ago, experiencing them has become something of a must for visitors to Tokyo (and plenty of locals, too). The capital boasts two immersive teamLab spaces: Planets and Borderless. Planets, the longer-running of the two, was in 2023 officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the most visited museum in the world exhibiting works by a single art collective. That’s before it expanded with new installations, no less. 2. Most LGBTQ+ venues in a single neighbourhood Shinjuku Nichome is the heart of Tokyo’s LGBTQ+ scene, boasting an estimated 300 queer bars and clubs in just a five-block area – the highest concentration of LGBTQ+ venues in the world.

This article is part of a two-part series. To learn about a biwa master and her music lessons, see here.Traditional Japanese instruments, also known as wagakki, are an intrinsic part of Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Whether it’s the vibrant, percussive beat of the taiko or the lilting, airy melodies of the shakuhachi, each instrument has enchanted audiences for centuries, and continues to do so to this day.To get better acquainted with just a few wagakki, we sat down with Toshinobu Shishido, who goes by the artist name Kouzan Oyama, a master of the shamisen, koto and sanshin. Read on to learn more about his life, and if you fancy, book a lesson with him to try your hand at one (or all) of these three instruments.

This article is part of a two-part series. To learn about a shamisen, koto and sanshin master and his music lessons, see here.The biwa is one of Japan's many wagakki (traditional musical instruments). A relative of the Chinese pipa, the pear-shaped instrument is often used as an accompaniment for songs about historical tales and epic narratives, which are sung by biwa players like our interviewee, Nobuko Kawashima.Ever since her youth, Nobuko has been the performing arts type, but music wasn't always her passion. The Nakano-born musician worked in theatre and ballet before ultimately making the switch to studying the biwa. Now she's been playing for over 25 years and teaching for over a decade. Read on to learn more about this music master and find out how you can book her class.

Surviving your first Tokyo summer is practically a rite of passage. With temperatures that can reach well into the thirties and humidity levels high enough to have you practically wringing out your shirt, it doesn't hurt to have a few items in your arsenal to help you push through the city's most brutal time of year.While you're on the hunt for sunscreens and things to help you stay cool, keep your eyes peeled for these additional summer essentials, all of which you can find at your local chemist or convenience store.RECOMMENDED: 12 best public swimming pools in Tokyo – from ¥200 per entry

Ah, go-go boys. What’s not to love? These professional dancers elevate the energy of any event where they perform, LGBTQ+-related or otherwise. From freestyle dancing and choreographed routines to the infamous ‘towel show’ – dancing completely in the buff holding nothing but a small towel to cover their bits – go-go boys (almost) bare it all for our entertainment.But who are these Adonises when they aren’t shaking their stuff on stage? Get to know these scientists, mathematicians, dog lovers and mama’s boys as we profile some of the city's best performers. Follow them on social media for more info on where to find their upcoming shows, and remember to bring a tip to show your appreciation. 

Summer is here, which means Tokyo's many great (and cheap) public pools are now open. Admission is usually around ¥600 or less, the atmosphere is laidback and everyone's welcome, from old-timers to families with small children. While some public pools can only be used by the residents of that particular ward or city, our picks are all open to the general public, so there's no stopping you from swimming into shape this summer. Unfortunately, tattoos are prohibited at all pools – however, here are some hacks to help you cover up your tattoos. RECOMMENDED: outdoor adventure parks near Tokyo 

Discerning travellers, rejoice. Park Hyatt Tokyo has officially re-opened after a 19-month hiatus. The hotel had been closed since May 2024 for renovations to get the property ready for its 30th anniversary, but now it's back in full swing.The upscale venue still occupies the top 14 floors of the iconic 52-storey Shinjuku Park Tower, though it's been upgraded to include more suites, a new restaurant and other amenities. Photo: Park Hyatt Tokyo Opened in July 1994, Park Hyatt Tokyo was Asia's first Park Hyatt and the third worldwide. It was featured in the classic 2003 film Lost in Translation, which helped put it on the map among wide-eyed tourists looking for their own Tokyo experience. Photo: Park Hyatt Tokyo The hotel's renovations were carried out by venerable Paris-based architectural design studio Jouin Manku, whose notable works include the La Momounia resort hotel in Marrakech and jewellery house Van Cleef & Arpels. The result is a modern, sophisticated design that incorporates natural materials while retaining the hotel's iconic charm.The room count has gone down a bit from 177 to 171, but now includes 29 speciality suites (up from 23) ranging up to 290sqm. Marble and cypress bathtubs, steam saunas, entertainment rooms and, as always, breathtaking views of the city and Mt Fuji await future suite guests.

New Year is just around the corner, but if you're thinking of heading to Shibuya to celebrate New Year's Eve, think again. Just like last year, Shibuya ward has announced that it's cancelling its 2026 NYE countdown festivities at Shibuya Station. Bummer.The cancellation should come as no surprise to long-term residents, as this year marks the sixth time that Shibuya has axed the event. What began as a safety precaution during the Covid-19 pandemic has since become an annual occurrence, meant to curb 'rowdy behaviour' and 'incidents caused by street drinking' according to Shibuya mayor Ken Hasebe.In addition to cancelled festivities, the beloved Hachiko statue will also be fenced off to reduce congestion, starting from 6am on December 31 until 1am on January 1 2026. Convenience stores in the area will temporarily stop selling alcohol, and public drinking will be banned from 6pm to 5am, which again is no surprise, as nighttime public drinking bans are kind of Shibuya's thing now.The Shibuya NYE event began in 2016 and welcomed over 100,000 in 2019 before its cancellation the following year. Whether the massively popular gathering will one day return is anyone's guess, but for now, check out these Christmas markets around the city, which are very much not cancelled.More from Time Out TokyoClassic action manga City Hunter celebrates 40 years of cool in UenoThe 2026 Pokémon theme park ticket lottery is now openThere's a frozen icicle forest just outside of Tokyo – and it's lit up

Let's face it: the planet is pretty much on fire. From rising sea temperatures and dying coral reefs to rapid deforestation and all manner of pollution, humanity's effects on nature have been devastating to say the least. With so much destruction happening to our natural world, it can seem nearly impossible to effect any meaningful change. But that hasn't stopped Queens for a Cause. Photo: Alejandro Morales RamaLe Horla Established in 2023, Queens for a Cause is a Tokyo-based, queer-run organisation that puts on several drag shows throughout the year featuring local and international talent. Each themed show is dedicated to a specific environmental cause, toward which QFAC donates a portion of its earnings. Whether it's saving pollinators, protecting polar ice caps or cleaning up our oceans and beaches, QFAC donates to a wide variety of organisations that dedicate themselves to helping the planet. Photo: Alejandro Morales RamaPolaris The collective is the brainchild of Polaris, a Jill-of-all-trades with a backstory as intriguing as the drag shows she produces. The American flight attendant spent her youth working on a farm in Connecticut before studying dance in New York. While in the Big Apple, she landed internships working in the fashion closet at Allure and the accessories closet at Vogue, among other places. The travel bug eventually brought her to Japan in 2013, where she would remain for over a decade working with special needs children. Photo: Alejandro Morales R

Wanna be the very best? Now's your chance. Earlier this year we announced the 2026 arrival of PokéPark Kanto, Tokyo's first permanent outdoor Pokémon theme park. The park opens Thursday February 5 2026, and a ticket lottery for entry is now underway. Act fast – if sales go anything like the Pokémon Center's latest line of Eevee merch, tickets may dwindle very quickly. Photo: ©Pokémon. ©Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. To recap, PokéPark Kanto takes up a sprawling 26,000sqm of the amusement park Yomiuriland in Inagi, which is located only about half an hour from the city centre. The attraction is split into two main areas: the Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. The forest is an explorable area home to over 600 Pokémon, while Sedge Town is where you can eat, shop, catch stage performances and more. Photo: ©Pokémon. ©Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. Tickets currently come in two types: the Trainer's Pass and the Ace Trainer's Pass.

Gogo boys and drag shows may be synonymous with the LGBTQ+ scene in the minds of most, but that’s not all there is to the queer experience. Beyond the glitz and glamour, there’s still much work to be done to fight discrimination and inequality, particularly against transgender people.Transgender Awareness Week takes place from November 13 to November 19, culminating in Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20. It’s a time not only to acknowledge and celebrate trans people, but also to raise awareness around issues affecting transgender, gender non-conforming and non-binary individuals around the world.This year marks the fifth Tokyo Trans March, taking place Saturday November 22 at 1pm at Tsunohazu Bridge near Shinjuku Central Park.

Next year's Pokémon theme park isn't the only early-2026 Poké-treat. Pokémon Pokopia for the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out next spring, and the game's newly released extended trailer reveals a shocker: a new Pikachu variant. Meet Peakychu, the mascot's first new variant since Gen II's Pichu back in 1999. Image: The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Pokopia Peakychu has slightly larger eyes than Pikachu, with droopy ears and a whitish coat of fur. Its name comes from 'peaky', naturally, meaning pale from illness or fatigue. (Its Japanese name is Usuchu, with usu meaning pale or light-coloured.)Sickly or not, dare we say this variant looks a bit… ghostly? It's currently unconfirmed if Peakychu is a Ghost-type, but it's fun to speculate. Image: The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Pokopia The pasty pocket pal isn't the only new variant in town. The trailer also reveals Mosslax, a kind of Snorlax covered in moss with a flower on its head, plus Smearguru, a form of Smeargle with a multi-coloured tail and colourful splotches on its body. Image: The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Pokopia As for the game itself, Pokémon Pokopia is a spin-off game in the vein of Animal Crossing or Minecraft, in which you play as a Ditto in human form in the middle of a desolate land. With the guidance of Professor Tangrowth, you restore the area's various habitats to attract and befriend Pokémon.View the extended trailer below, but if you're as impatient as we are, skip ahead to 9:30 to see the pallid Peakychu and o

Anime art books are having a bit of a moment this season. The Angel's Egg art book is scheduled for release later this month, and now another animated classic is following suit. An art book of Studio Ghibli's 1992 film Porco Rosso is scheduled for release in December; the book contains hand-drawn sketches, storyboards and illustrations by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. Photo: Iwanami Shoten Co, Ltd, Hayao Miyazaki The art book is part of a series loosely translated as The Complete Collection of Hayao Miyazaki Image Boards. The upcoming version starring everyone's favourite porcine pilot is volume five of the collection and features 85 visuals. Nearly one in every five works is a previously unpublished image, making the book a rare treat for Porco diehards. Photo: Iwanami Shoten Co, Ltd, Hayao Miyazaki The book also contains an interview with the film's producer Toshio Suzuki, where he shares insight on Miyazaki's philosophy and thought process regarding the production of the film. As an added bonus, three illustrations from Kiki's Delivery Service are included in the book as well. Guess one flying character wasn't enough.

With so much to see and do in Tokyo, it's easy to get caught up in searching for the next big thing. From new theme parks to upcoming music festivals, there's always something new to look forward to – but every now and then it's nice to look back, too. For 13 days only, this exhibition in Shibuya helps you do just that: take a look into the past. Photo: Spae 2025, Commons Archive Collective The exhibition, entitled 'Shibuya Archive Photo Exhibition 2025', showcases photos of the Shibuya area ranging from the early 1900s to the late 2010s. The collection is brought to you by the Commons Archive Collective, an organisation founded in 2021 that puts on exhibitions of its collections, many of which have featured Shibuya in some capacity. Photo: Spae 2025, Commons Archive Collective This particular Shibuya-themed exhibition is in its third year. Last year's nine-day iteration was quite successful, welcoming some odd 6,600 visitors over its short run. While the 2024 exhibition featured 300 photos encompassing a wider area including Harajuku and Daikanyama, this year's selection has been pared down to 170 and focuses on Dogenzaka, Koen-dori, Center-gai and other locations close to Shibuya Station. Photo: Spae 2024, Hiroshi Nakamura The exhibition takes place at 8/Court on the eighth floor of Shibuya Hikarie 11am-7pm on November 18, 11am-8pm on November 19-29 and 11am-6pm on November 30.
