Our Metropolis Autumn 2025 Issue is out now and the theme is Outdoors!
Welcome to the Autumn 2025 issue of Metropolis, where we’re stepping outside and celebrating the beauty of the season. This edition is all about the great outdoors: from the top hiking trails to catch Japan’s autumn leaves, to an interview with a content creator and his Shiba Inu, who are redefining animal welfare one hike at a time. Dive into our curated features on outdoor fashion, camping recipes and the best seasonal events in the city. So lace up your boots and join us as we explore everything this vibrant season has to offer!
