Tokyo Journal is an English-language quarterly magazine about Tokyo and Japan, which was established in 1981. The international edition of the magazine was published under the title Japan Journal for a time.[1]

History

Tokyo Journal was founded in 1981, and owned for a number of years by the Japanese magazine distributor Yohan.[2] Its editors-in-chief have included Don Morton and Greg Starr.[3][4] The magazine was later sold to the Tokyo-based translation and publishing company Nexxus Communications K.K.[2] Ownership was transferred to Tokyo Journal International, Inc. in 2012, and the magazine's first publication under the new ownership was the December 2012 issue, number 270.[2] Tokyo Journal is the oldest English magazine still on sale in Japanese bookstores.[2]

Style

The magazine's approach has been to cover Japanese culture as seen through the eyes of those who know and live it.[2]
