Metropolitana December Edition Celebrates Self-Care and Rewarding Experiences

Celebrate Yourself: Metropolitana’s December Issue

The December edition of Metropolitana is all about self-reward and relaxation as we bid farewell to 2025. Designed specifically for working women in the Tokyo area, this free magazine aims to offer a fresh perspective on lifestyle choices. From December 10 to 19, readers can find it at designated racks in 53 Tokyo Metro stations.

After an extensive redesign that marks an 11-year refresh, Metropolitana emerges with a new concept called the "Third Place of Comfort"—a tranquil space away from home and work where one can rejuvenate.

Featured: A Reward for Hard Work

In this month's leading section, the magazine emphasizes the importance of treating oneself for all the efforts put in throughout the year. Readers are presented with a collection of ideas to cherish their hard work during the year's end:

1. Create a Comfortable Space

Start by bringing comfort into your home. The magazine highlights suggestions such as adorning your living space with fragrant flowers or investing in artisan-crafted tableware to elevate your ambiance as a prelude to the New Year.

2. Nourish with Medicinal Cuisine

Take care of your health with medicinal meals. The issue introduces readers to various recipes and insights about the benefits of traditional herbal dishes that help nurture one’s body from the inside out after a hectic year.

3. Experience Ultimate Relaxation

Self-appreciation also includes indulging in special experiences. From enzyme baths to soothing head spas, the magazine showcases unique ways to enjoy the ultimate relaxation and self-reward.

4. Time for Self-Care

The final piece revolves around the importance of spending time with oneself at home. Featuring trending self-care products and treatment items, readers are encouraged to explore their own rituals of relaxation.

Discover Christmas Updates and Cultural Events

Besides self-care, the December issue offers delightful insights into the festive season, presenting the latest Christmas events at iconic hotels and popular shopping destinations in Tokyo.
