Collaborating with MUJI to bring the Tokyo brand to the world

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau are working to increase the number of foreign visitors to Tokyo and joining up with private entities from Tokyo to promote Tokyo actively in overseas markets.

In March and April, “MUJI 10,000 shapes of Tokyo” will be held to promote the Tokyo brand. This project is in collaboration with lifestyle goods retailer, MUJI, which currently has shops in 25 countries and regions. The event aims to highlight the many attractions of Tokyo by leveraging MUJI’s fame as a well-designed and high-quality brand.

“MUJI 10,000 shapes of Tokyo”

In MUJI’s Taipei and New York flagship stores, about 10,000 items of MUJI’s in-store products will be used to recreate Tokyo scenes and popular sightseeing spots such as Tokyo Tower and the Shibuya scramble crossing. The exhibit will also be introduced on a campaign website.
