Promoting the Tokyo Brand
The launch of the “WE & TOKYO” campaign
Take a picture with “& TOKYO” and let the world know about Tokyo’s appeal
Special support by Denpagumi.inc
With the aim of becoming the world’s leading tourist destination, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is working to establish the Tokyo brand to leave a strong impression on people in Japan and overseas that Tokyo is a place they must visit.
The “WE & TOKYO” campaign was launched as one facet of such endeavors.
1. The “WE & TOKYO” symbol
The Tokyo brand logo and catch line, “& TOKYO,” and the word “WE” have been connected to create a new sightseeing symbol for Tokyo. So that the residents of Tokyo and all visitors to the city can feel closer to the & TOKYO brand, photo spots will be set up at events held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and at key sightseeing locations in the city. This initiative aims to spread the Tokyo brand by having people share their pictures on social networking sites.

Comments by Dempagumi.inc
“Hi! We’re Dempagumi.inc, the special supporters of WE & TOKYO. Is there a special place in Tokyo for you? One of our special places in Tokyo is Akihabara, where the six of us have our origins. Lately, we’ve been holding a lot of live events at various locations in Japan and abroad, but wherever we go, we can always take up challenges in our own unique way because we have a place that is special to us, and this makes us feel even more strongly connected to Tokyo.
We hope you will find a place or moment in Tokyo where you feel ‘connected,’ and make it your special place.”
