Tokyo is the capital and most populous city of Japan. It is a megacity full of industry, business, and cutting-edge technology mixed with traditional cultural and historic temples. Located in eastern Japan, its metropolitan area and neighboring prefectures homed 37.468 million residents as of 2018.
Although many Japanese may identify as not religious, they still practice the traditions of the two primary religions in Japan – Shintoism and Buddhism. Tokyoites to this day visit Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples regularly to celebrate and mark significant events. Contained within this busy working metropolis are millions of Japanese who may have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and practice the traditions of their culture, unaware of a God who loves them. The churches in Tokyo tend to be small but long to share the gospel with those who need to hear it. Our vision is to partner with the Tokyo churches through projects and church plants that will grow and multiply to see Christ’s name spread in the biggest megacity in the world.
