Dear Colleagues,
One year has passed since we began issuing What’s Up, our email
newsletter, to inform you about the initiatives and attractions of Tokyo.
We have marked this anniversary by renewing its design from this issue.
Here are today's contents:
1. “Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New”
2. Stand with Ukraine
3. “Global Financial City: Tokyo” Vision 2.0 Promotion Video
4. “Creating future role models”
Governor Koike’s contribution to Eurobiz Japan
5.Tokyo Updates Article“Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New”

In the renewal of our newsletter, we would like to first introduce the Tokyo Tokyo
logo that is used to publicize the attractions of Tokyo to those within and outsideJapan.

The combination of Tokyo written in brushstrokes and Tokyo in sans serif fontexpresses the distinctive features of Tokyo, where traditions dating back to theEdo period 400 years ago coexist alongside the cutting-edge culture of today.
This integration of the old and new is also highlighted by the slogan “Old meets
New,” with Tokyo being a dynamic intersection of tradition and cutting-edge
culture. Our city is full of attractions that are sure to enchant.
We hope you can find “your Tokyo” on the Tokyo Tokyo website.
