Tokyo Loop - Stay in the Loop
Sponsor Tokyo Loop

Reach people choosing what to do in Tokyo.

Tokyo Loop helps English-speaking residents, visitors, founders, students, and solo planners find useful events and local resources. Founding-partner pilots are reviewed for fit, with clear labels, source-first editorial rules, and reporting limited to inventory we can actually measure.

Sponsor reporting

Every paid pilot should end with a simple report, not vague brand-lift language.

  • Campaign dates and inventory delivered
  • Pageviews or impressions where available
  • Outbound clicks and CTR by slot
  • Newsletter delivery metrics only when verified sends are explicitly included
  • Social metrics only when verified reach is explicitly included
  • Caveats, learnings, and next recommendation

Disclosures

Labels stay visible near the placement so users understand what is editorial and what is paid.

  • Sponsored
  • Partner
  • Paid event spotlight
  • Affiliate link
  • Partner pick

Good-fit buyers

Best early buyers already help people decide where to go, who to meet, or what tool to use.

  • Event organizers
  • Local services
  • Coworking and founder spaces
  • Language schools
  • Useful travel tools

Editorial trust rules.

Sponsorship should help the product stay alive without making Tokyo Loop feel bought. These rules are the default until a formal policy replaces them.

Sponsored content is labeled near the placement.

Paid placement buys distribution, not organic ranking or verification.

Original source links stay visible on event pages.

Tokyo Loop does not sell raw user lists.

Lead-gen requires explicit opt-in and a named recipient partner.

Direct checkout for third-party events is out of scope until legal, tax, refund, and support review.

Founding-partner review

Tell us the goal, timing, and audience.

We will recommend the smallest measurable website pilot that fits. Newsletter and social inventory are only considered after real delivery and reach have been verified; they are not promised by this form.

We use these details only to review and reply to this inquiry. Submission does not guarantee a placement.

Event organizers

Free listing review comes before paid distribution.

Submit the original event source first. If it meets the editorial standard, we can discuss a clearly labeled distribution pilot separately.
