Minato City publishes ‘Minato Monthly’, an English newsletter, on the first of each month. It contains information on Minato City’s administrative services and local events, as well as health check notices, and a library events calendar etc.

Minato Monthly is available at Minato City Hall, Minato City facilities, the main post offices in Minato City and at some subway stations. It is also delivered along with subscriptions of the Japan Times/International New York Times and can be viewed on the Minato City website too.

It can be sent free of charge to the homes of Minato City residents. If you would like to make use of this service, please apply through the Minato City website.

The subsection in charge at Minato City Hall is the Public Relations Subsection of the Office of the Mayor.
