The Model Businesses for the 2020 “Tokyo Kirari Project” have been Selected!

Throughout October of last year, we invited applications for model businesses for the Edo-Tokyo Kirari Project, and had external experts make the selection.
We are pleased to announce that we have selected five model businesses to take leading roles in establishing the Tokyo brand, all of which are both traditional and innovative, and are suitable to play the role of a driving force in the establishment of the Tokyo brand.
